Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between US Cremonese and Empoli FC is underway.
  • 4' GOAL! Cyriel Dessers scores on 4.
  • 9' Supporters expect more eagerness from Michele Castagnetti, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Giovanni Zini with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 14' 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.
  • 15' The referee calls foul for Leonardo Sernicola. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 20' Empoli FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 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.
  • 62' Petar Stojanovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tyronne Ebuehi on 62 minute.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Marco Benassi. He replaces Pablo Galdames on 67 minute.
  • 68' The whistle greets Cyriel Dessers as he departs to be replaced by David Okereke.
  • 73' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 78' It looks like no one’s ball. US Cremonese is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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.
  • 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for US Cremonese players.
