  • 15' Nicolo Cambiaghi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Torino FC so far.

  • 30' Etrit Berisha is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Empoli FC tonight.
  • 31' Goal! Tyronne Ebuehi scores his 3 goal in 471 matches.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ricardo Rodriguez suffering a number of foals already.
