Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Stadio Via del Mare will turn into a battlefield for US Lecce and Genoa CFC.
- 5' 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 Milan Badelj suffering a number of foals already.
- 7' Koni De Winter is having his name booked by the referee on 7.
- 9' Aaron Martin is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
- 14' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 19' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 24' Genoa CFC have won 268 goals from 421 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 29' Over 29 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His US Lecce side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 36' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Aaron Martin.
- 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nikola Krstovic, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Via del Mare with 9 goals in the last 8 games.
- 46' Another substitution for Genoa CFC to replace Koni De Winter by Johan Vasquez on 46 minute.
- 51' Gabriel Strefezza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 58' Controversy at the stadium! Pontus Almqvist argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 59' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pontus Almqvist.
- 60' Fresh legs for US Lecce! Patrick Dorgu comes on to replace Antonino Gallo.
- 65' Aaron Martin has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 439 appearances.
- 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 75' US Lecce 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.
- 76' Genoa CFC ring the changes. Milan Badelj has done his job and it is now time for Silvan Hefti to step up.
- 79' The whistle greets Mohamed Kaba as he departs to be replaced by Nicola Sansone.
- 80' The US Lecce bench stirs into life. Gabriel Strefezza is withdrawn and Roberto Piccoli gets his opportunity.
- 83' GOAL! Remi Oudin scores on 83.
- 87' The crowd applauds Nikola Krstovic as he leaves the pitch. Alexis Blin steps in for US Lecce.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for George Puscas. He replaces Kevin Strootman on 90 minute.
- The points are shared — US Lecce 1-0 Genoa CFC. Honours even.
