- 10' UC Sampdoria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' 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.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alessandro Di Pardo made 506 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Luigi Cherubini was booked on 30.
- 35' Tommaso Berti has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 35 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
