Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Nicola Ceravolo as US Catanzaro face off against AS Cittadella in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. US Catanzaro and AS Cittadella are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Simone Rabbi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Luca Pandolfi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' AS Cittadella started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Cittadella is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. US Catanzaro needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 50' 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 Riccardo Palmieri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Alessio Vita has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 59' A change in the US Catanzaro ranks — Tommaso Biasci exits the field as Marco D'Alessandro enters on 59.
  • 64' US Catanzaro make a change. Marco D'Alessandro trudges off to be replaced by Mario Situm on 64 minutes.
  • 65' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Pietro Iemmello makes it 1-0.
  • 70' named a 3-5-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-5-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 71' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Simone Pontisso on 71 minutes.
  • 71' A tactical swap from AS Cittadella — Lorenzo Carissoni on, Andrea Tessiore off on 71 minutes.
  • 76' AS Cittadella are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 78' Another substitution for US Catanzaro to replace Riccardo Pagano by Marco Pompetti on 78 minute.
  • 79' US Catanzaro make a change. Simone Pontisso trudges off to be replaced by Mamadou Coulibaly on 79 minutes.
  • 81' Jacopo Desogus is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alessio Vita at the 81 minute mark.
  • 86' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Fabio Caserta will be considering his options from the bench.
  • AS Cittadella will have plenty to reflect on. US Catanzaro were simply the better side today.
