Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against UC Sampdoria and AS Cittadella has kicked off!
  • 4' It’s gonna be a card for Riccardo Palmieri.
  • 9' It’s high time Alessandro Dal Canto made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 14' 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 Riccardo Palmieri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 19' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Giuseppe Sibilli made 456 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 24' The travelling AS Cittadella supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 26' The referee shows AS Cittadella player a card on 26.
  • 31' It looks like no one’s ball. UC Sampdoria is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 36' It looks surprising AS Cittadella does not make any changes. Nicola Pavan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' The referee calls foul for Orji Okwonkwo. He receives a card.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Pietro Beruatto. He receives a card.
  • 50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 55' UC Sampdoria is showing some good football. However, UC Sampdoria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 60' Another change for UC Sampdoria made on 60 minute. Massimo Coda leaves to be changed by M'Baye Niang.
  • 61' Fabio Depaoli is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 64' Goal! Giuseppe Sibilli scores his 14 goal in 456 matches.
  • 69' AS Cittadella manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Francesco Amatucci is hanging Riccardo Palmieri on the field on 69 minute.
  • 70' The whistle greets Orji Okwonkwo as he departs to be replaced by Simone Rabbi.
  • 75' AS Cittadella seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 77' It’s gonna be a card for Matteo Ricci.
  • 78' AS Cittadella manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Davide Voltan is hanging Simone Tronchin on the field on 78 minute.
  • 79' Another substitution for UC Sampdoria to replace Giuseppe Sibilli by Ebenezer Akinsanmiro on 79 minute.
  • 84' Marco Curto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' Davide Veroli is replacing Pietro Beruatto for the UC Sampdoria side.
  • 86' Andrea Tessiore has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alessio Vita on 86 minute.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ebenezer Akinsanmiro on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for UC Sampdoria players.
