Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 1' GOAL! Massimo Coda fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 6' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 11' UC Sampdoria currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 16' Palermo FC come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 21' Federico Di Francesco is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for UC Sampdoria tonight.
  • 22' Fabio Depaoli is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
  • 27' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Alessio Dionisi will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 32' Matteo Brunori Sandri needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 37' It looks surprising UC Sampdoria does not make any changes. Pietro Beruatto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Joel Pohjanpalo doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering UC Sampdoria that had 456 games and scored 358 goals.
  • 55' UC Sampdoria are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Palermo FC backline.
  • 58' Another change for UC Sampdoria made on 58 minute. Pietro Beruatto leaves to be changed by Lorenzo Venuti.
  • 59' Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Remi Oudin at the 59 minute mark.
  • 61' That looks like a foul for a card for Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.
  • 66' It’s high time Alessio Dionisi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 68' A tactical swap from UC Sampdoria — Bartosz Bereszynski on, Fabio Depaoli off on 68 minutes.
  • 73' Jeremy Le Douaron is ready to make an impact after coming on for Valerio Verre at the 73 minute mark.
  • 75' Niccolo Pierozzi is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
  • 80' The whistle greets Niccolo Pierozzi as he departs to be replaced by Jacopo Segre.
  • 84' A tactical swap from UC Sampdoria — Alessandro Riccio on, Davide Veroli off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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 Emil Audero suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final score is 1-1.
