Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. UC Sampdoria is hosting Cagliari Calcio for another epic battle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Luca Cigarini is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cagliari Calcio.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 18' The referee has no hesitation. Albin Ekdal is booked for UC Sampdoria — Yellow card on 18.
  • 23' It looks surprising UC Sampdoria does not make any changes. Jacopo Sala has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 33' Alessandro Deiola was booked on 33.
  • 38' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 43' Cagliari Calcio is showing some good football. However, Cagliari Calcio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 48' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Riccardo Doratiotto made 420 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' UC Sampdoria manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Manolo Gabbiadini is hanging Riccardo Saponara on the field on 52 minute.
  • 57' 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 Nicola Murru suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' A quiet spell here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. UC Sampdoria seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 64' Luca Pellegrini has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 64.
  • 66' The Italy Fabio Quagliarella breaks the deadlock on 66 minutes. 1-0!
  • 71' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marco Giampaolo might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 73' The Cagliari Calcio manager makes a substitution. Alessandro Deiola departs to be replaced by Darijo Srna.
  • 78' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 79' Francesco Verde has so much to prove this time. He replaces Riccardo Doratiotto on 79 minute.
  • 80' The crowd applauds Nicola Murru as he leaves the pitch. Bartosz Bereszynski steps in for UC Sampdoria.
  • 85' Both keepers have barely been tested. UC Sampdoria and Cagliari Calcio are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 88' It is a substitution in UC Sampdoria team. Gregoire Defrel is replaced by Ronaldo Vieira on 88 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for UC Sampdoria players.
