- 25' It looks surprising US Cremonese does not make any changes. Sebastiano Luperto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Roberto Piccoli made 525 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Sebastian Walukiewicz is replacing Koni De Winter for the Empoli FC side.
- 45' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 52' Time for substitution for US Cremonese. Luka Lochoshvili is replaced by Emanuel Aiwu.
- 57' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Empoli FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 79' Time for substitution for Empoli FC. Filippo Bandinelli is replaced by Liam Henderson.
- 84' 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 Soualiho Meite suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' US Cremonese manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Giacomo Quagliata is hanging Frank Tsadjout on the field on 85 minute.
