Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Stadio Luigi Ferraris will turn into a battlefield for UC Sampdoria and US Cremonese.
- 5' 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 Ronaldo Vieira suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mattia Valoti made 236 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' US Cremonese is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. UC Sampdoria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 33' Pietro Beruatto was booked on 33.
- 38' US Cremonese receives a card for a hard tackle on 38.
- 43' It looks surprising US Cremonese does not make any changes. M'Baye Niang has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 46' It is a substitution in UC Sampdoria team. Fabio Depaoli is replaced by Lorenzo Venuti on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 56' 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.
- 59' M'Baye Niang is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
- 64' Supporters expect more eagerness from Federico Bonazzoli, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Luigi Ferraris with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 65' Another substitution for US Cremonese to replace Jari Vandeputte by Mattia Valoti on 65 minute.
- 66' Fabio Abiuso has so much to prove this time. He replaces M'Baye Niang on 66 minute.
- 70' Another substitution for US Cremonese to replace Michele Collocolo by Michele Castagnetti on 70 minute.
- 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 80' Time for substitution for US Cremonese. Dennis Johnsen is replaced by Federico Bonazzoli.
- 81' Another change for UC Sampdoria made on 81 minute. Leonardo Benedetti leaves to be changed by Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 87' Alessandro Bellemo is replacing Giuseppe Sibilli for the UC Sampdoria side.
- The final score is 0-0.
