Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Stadion HNK Rijeka. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' It’s high time Gennaro Gattuso made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 13' What a strike from Robert Muric! The score is 1-0.
- 18' 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.
- 22' The referee shows SSC Napoli player a Yellow card on 22.
- 24' Sterling Benzi is replacing Robert Muric for the HNK Rijeka side.
- 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 495 games and scored 553 goals.
- 30' HNK Rijeka receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 30.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' 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 Dries Mertens suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' Goal! Diego Demme scores his 6 goal in 502 matches.
- 44' The referee shows HNK Rijeka player a Yellow card on 44.
- 45' SSC Napoli receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hirving Lozano made 425 appearances and scored 76 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 55' HNK Rijeka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 59' The whistle greets Stanislav Lobotka as he departs to be replaced by Lorenzo Insigne.
- 62' GOAL! Filip Braut scores on 62.
- 64' The HNK Rijeka manager makes a substitution. Filip Braut departs to be replaced by Daniel Stefulj.
- 65' Momcilo Raspopovic is replacing Sterling Benzi for the HNK Rijeka side.
- 69' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hirving Lozano is hanging Matteo Politano on the field on 69 minute.
- 74' Giovanni Di Lorenzo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 79' It looks like no one’s ball. SSC Napoli is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Piotr Zielinski. He replaces Mario Rui on 80 minute.
- 85' HNK Rijeka is showing some good football. However, HNK Rijeka are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 90' Kalidou Koulibaly needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SSC Napoli players.
