Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Nicola Ceravolo. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 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 Andrea Carboni suffering a number of foals already.
  • 6' Goal! Simone Pontisso scores his 6 goal in 456 matches.
  • 8' It’s a booking for AC Monza player. Patrick Cutrone gets a card.
  • 13' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' The referee calls foul for Marco D'Alessandro. He receives a card.
  • 18' US Catanzaro manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ruggero Frosinini is hanging Marco D'Alessandro on the field on 18 minute.
  • 23' Hernani needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering US Catanzaro that had 114 games and scored 122 goals.
  • 29' It is a substitution in AC Monza team. Paulo Dentello is replaced by Adam Bakoune on 29 minute.
  • 32' US Catanzaro receives a card for a hard tackle on 32.
  • 36' US Catanzaro player sees a card in front of him.
  • 41' It looks surprising US Catanzaro does not make any changes. Mattia Liberali has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Lorenzo Lucchesi.
  • 46' The AC Monza manager makes a substitution. Pedro Obiang departs to be replaced by Giuseppe Caso.
  • 48' It’s a booking for AC Monza player. Patrick Cutrone gets a card.
  • 52' The AC Monza manager makes a substitution. Patrick Ciurria departs to be replaced by Keita Balde.
  • 57' It looks like no one’s ball. US Catanzaro is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 62' 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.
  • 67' Time for substitution for US Catanzaro. Mattia Liberali is replaced by Fabio Rispoli.
  • 69' That looks like a foul for a card for Nicolo Brighenti.
  • 74' Another change for AC Monza made on 74 minute. Hernani leaves to be changed by Andrea Colpani.
  • 76' Tommaso Cassandro was booked on 76.
  • 81' AC Monza 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.
  • 86' Gabriele Alesi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 89' It is a substitution in US Catanzaro team. Filippo Pittarello is replaced by N'Dri Philippe Koffi on 89 minute.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
