Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadio Giovanni Zini. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 14' Giacomo Calo puts AC Cesena on the lead.
  • 19' US Cremonese is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 24' Mirko Antonucci has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 29' 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.
  • 34' 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 Flavio Russo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' Goal! Paulo Dentello scores his 3 goal in 418 matches.
  • 45' Marco Nasti was booked on 45.
  • 46' It is a substitution in AC Cesena team. Flavio Russo is replaced by Mirko Antonucci on 46 minute.
  • 47' That looks like a foul for a card for Michele Castagnetti.
  • 52' The travelling AC Cesena supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 57' AC Cesena started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
  • 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tommaso Barbieri on 59.
  • 62' The whistle greets Federico Bonazzoli as he departs to be replaced by Manuel De Luca.
  • 63' Another change for US Cremonese made on 63 minute. Tommaso Barbieri leaves to be changed by Dennis Johnsen.
  • 66' Another substitution for AC Cesena to replace Dario Saric by Simone Bastoni on 66 minute.
  • 71' Federico Bonazzoli needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
  • 73' Mattia Valoti is replacing Marco Nasti for the US Cremonese side.
  • 77' The referee calls foul for Matteo Bianchetti. He receives a card.
  • 81' Zan Majer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Federico Ceccherini on 81 minute.
  • 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' The referee shows AC Cesena player a card on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AC Cesena players.
