Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. SSC Napoli kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' SSC Napoli come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' Joachim Andersen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 11' What a moment for Gregoire Defrel! That strike on 11 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 16' It looks surprising UC Sampdoria does not make any changes. Elseid Hysaj has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 21' 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.
  • 26' UC Sampdoria are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SSC Napoli backline.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Amadou Diawara made 523 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' Gregoire Defrel makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and UC Sampdoria are in front.
  • 37' UC Sampdoria ring the changes. Riccardo Saponara has done his job and it is now time for Gaston Ramirez to step up.
  • 40' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Gaston Ramirez.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' A tactical swap from SSC Napoli — Adam Ounas on, Simone Verdi off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' The travelling SSC Napoli supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' It’s high time Carlo Ancelotti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 59' The whistle greets Nicola Murru as he departs to be replaced by Jacopo Sala.
  • 64' Piotr Zielinski is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SSC Napoli so far.
  • 68' Controversy at the stadium! Amadou Diawara argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 71' Fresh legs for SSC Napoli! Marko Rog comes on to replace Amadou Diawara.
  • 75' A stunning finish from Fabio Quagliarella — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 77' That is a Yellow card for SSC Napoli. Mario Rui will be fuming at that decision.
  • 81' Allan picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 83' Marko Rog catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
  • 84' A change in the UC Sampdoria ranks — Albin Ekdal exits the field as Ronaldo Vieira enters on 84.
  • 88' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ronaldo Vieira on 88 minutes.
  • The final score is 3-0.
