  • 16' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Joel Pohjanpalo makes it 1-0.
  • 21' 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 Valerio Verre suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' UC Sampdoria 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.
  • 30' Magnificent from Leonardo Benedetti! That is 1 goals in 467 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 41' The referee calls foul for Leonardo Benedetti. He receives a card.

  • 46' A tactical swap from Venezia FC — Mikael Egill Ellertsson on, Nunzio Lella off on 46 minutes.
  • 48' That looks like a foul for a card for Marin Sverko.
  • 53' Fabio Depaoli, a Italy , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 58' What composure from Joel Pohjanpalo! The Finland international strokes it home. 3-1.
