Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — US Sassuolo Calcio and US Lecce get this one started.
- 5' What a strike from Francesco Caputo! The score is 1-0.
- 10' 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 Mert Muldur suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It’s high time Roberto De Zerbi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 22' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Khouma Babacar.
- 27' Magnificent from Fabio Lucioni! That is 6 goals in 201 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 32' Francesco Caputo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 32.
- 34' Jacopo Petriccione catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 34.
- 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 44' US Sassuolo Calcio are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
