Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. US Sassuolo Calcio kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Udinese Calcio needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marlon made 387 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Italy international Manuel Locatelli has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' US Sassuolo Calcio have won 464 goals from 387 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Roberto De Zerbi will be considering his options from the bench.
- 42' The Spain Llorente breaks the deadlock on 42 minutes. 1-0!

- 58' Udinese Calcio are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 63' Bram Nuytinck has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 22 cards already picked up this season.
- 65' The whistle greets Kaan Ayhan as he departs to be replaced by Gregoire Defrel.
- 70' It looks surprising US Sassuolo Calcio does not make any changes. Kaan Ayhan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 73' Jean-Victor Makengo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tolgay Ali Arslan at the 73 minute mark.
- 78' Another substitution for US Sassuolo Calcio to replace Maxime Lopez by Pedro Obiang on 78 minute.
