Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! US Catanzaro welcome Cosenza Calcio for this crunch clash at Nicola Ceravolo.
- 5' is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for US Catanzaro so far.
- 10' Cosenza Calcio are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' Pietro Iemmello doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 25' Charlys has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 182 appearances.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christos Kourfalidis made 423 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Simone Pontisso has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 12 cards already picked up this season.
- 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pierantonio Tortelli will be considering his options from the bench.
- 45' US Catanzaro are deployed in a 3-5-2 today, looking to exploit space against Cosenza Calcio's 3-1-4-2 shape.
- 46' GOAL! Marco Pompetti fires home to make it 2-0!
- 46' Another substitution for US Catanzaro to replace Simone Pontisso by Rares Ilie on 46 minute.
- 47' Tommaso D'Orazio has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 47.
- 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Fabio Caserta might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 53' A tactical swap from Cosenza Calcio — Manuel Ricciardi on, Tommaso D'Orazio off on 53 minutes.
- 54' GOAL! Federico Bonini scores on 54. Assisted by Rares Ilie
- 57' Jacopo Petriccione was booked on 57.
- 59' Tommaso Biasci makes way for Nicolo Buso at the 59 minute mark. A tactical switch from US Catanzaro.
- 64' Fresh legs for US Catanzaro! Mamadou Coulibaly comes on to replace Jacopo Petriccione.

- 68' Another change for Cosenza Calcio made on 68 minute. Christian Kouan leaves to be changed by Christos Kourfalidis.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering US Catanzaro that had 119 games and scored 126 goals.
- 78' 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 Tommaso Fumagalli suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Another substitution for US Catanzaro to replace Mario Situm by Tommaso Cassandro on 80 minute.
- 81' A change in the US Catanzaro ranks — Federico Bonini exits the field as Matias Antonini enters on 81.
- 84' Charlys is replacing Luca Garritano for the Cosenza Calcio side.
- 89' Over 89 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-0.
