- 0' We are underway at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore. 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 Spezia Calcio that had 226 games and scored 241 goals.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. US Sassuolo Calcio needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 11' US Sassuolo Calcio player sees a card in front of him.
- 16' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

- 51' 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.
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
