Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadio Giovanni Zini. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AC Cesena that had 76 games and scored 51 goals.
  • 10' AC Cesena 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.
  • 14' Goal! Giacomo Calo scores his 6 goal in 38 matches.
  • 19' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 24' AC Cesena come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 29' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michele Mignani might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 39' Charles Pickel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 48 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' What composure from Paulo Dentello! The Brazil international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 45' The referee has no hesitation. Marco Nasti is booked for US Cremonese — card on 45.
  • 46' Time for substitution for AC Cesena. Flavio Russo is replaced by Mirko Antonucci.
  • 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Michele Castagnetti on 47.
  • 52' 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 Federico Bonazzoli suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 59' That is a card for US Cremonese. Tommaso Barbieri will be fuming at that decision.
  • 62' US Cremonese ring the changes. Federico Bonazzoli has done his job and it is now time for Manuel De Luca to step up.
  • 63' Dennis Johnsen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tommaso Barbieri on 63 minute.
  • 66' Another change for AC Cesena made on 66 minute. Dario Saric leaves to be changed by Simone Bastoni.
  • 71' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both US Cremonese and AC Cesena are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 73' US Cremonese ring the changes. Marco Nasti has done his job and it is now time for Mattia Valoti to step up.
  • 77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Matteo Bianchetti on 77.
  • 81' Federico Ceccherini makes way for Zan Majer at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from US Cremonese.
  • 86' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tommaso Berti, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Giovanni Zini with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 90' AC Cesena receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • With this win, AC Cesena is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
