- 22' Akor Adams makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Venezia FC are in front.
- 27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Wilfried Gnonto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for ACF Fiorentina.
- 29' Franco Mastantuono doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 30' The deadlock is broken! Franco Mastantuono gets on the scoresheet on 30 minutes.
- 35' 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.
- 38' Joel Schingtienne is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
- 43' It looks surprising Venezia FC does not make any changes. Gianluca Busio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 60' ACF Fiorentina manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mateo Pellegrino is hanging Beto on the field on 60 minute.
- 65' 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 Cher Ndour suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' Magnificent from Mateo Pellegrino! That is 17 goals in 191 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
