Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — US Catanzaro and Palermo FC get this one started.
  • 5' Italy international Edoardo Soleri has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' US Catanzaro have won 122 goals from 114 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' Palermo FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 20' A quiet spell here at Nicola Ceravolo. US Catanzaro seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Palermo FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 29' GOAL! Tommaso Biasci scores on 29.
  • 34' The travelling Palermo FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 39' Claudio Gomes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 436 appearances.
  • 44' US Catanzaro are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 48' Jacopo Segre does the damage! The net is bulging and Palermo FC surge ahead!
  • 53' Jari Vandeputte is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Palermo FC so far.
  • 58' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Palermo FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 64' It is a substitution in US Catanzaro team. Pietro Iemmello is replaced by Giuseppe Ambrosino on 64 minute.
  • 69' 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 Francesco Di Mariano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' Palermo FC make a change. Federico Di Francesco trudges off to be replaced by Roberto Insigne on 73 minutes.
  • 76' Poor challenge from Filippo Ranocchia. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.

  • 87' Aljosa Vasic gets the nod from Palermo FC. He replaces Francesco Di Mariano and will look to change the dynamic.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — US Catanzaro 1-1 Palermo FC.
