21:48 Monza 1-2 Atalanta

 

21:47 Atalanta

They really, really do not do comfortable wins.

21:43 FT: Monza 1-2 Atalanta

21:42 HOW DID MONZA NOT SCORE?!?!?

WOW. Incredible. Daniel Maldini angled drive with the inside of the boot, goes across Carnsecchi, bounces off the inside of the far post, rolls all the way along the line and goes back out!

21:40 Bondo booked

Monza corner cleared, Toure goes on the counter and is brought down by Bondo for a yellow card.

21:40 Caldirola crucial

Important sliding tackle on Hateboer. Hien booked, then Monza earn a corner.

21:37 Oh Atalanta

No such thing as a comfortable lead for La Dea!

21:35 Monza 1-2 Atalanta: Daniel Maldini!

That’s a splendid goal! Daniel Maldini cuts in from the left and bends a right-foot finish into the far bottom corner! Game on… Into 5 minutes of stoppages.

21:30 Djimsiti booked

That was a crunching tackle from Djimsiti. Too crunching for the referee.

21:29 Monza pushing

Another good run down the left, Zerbin shot charged down.

21:24 Monza subs

D’Ambrosio, Caldirola and Colombo on, Izzo, Djuric and Gagliardini off

21:24 Double Monza chance

Roll across from the left, two attempts are charged down from eight yards! De Roon flung himself in the way for the last one on Djuric.

21:21 Atalanta again

Another promising passing move, but the finish from Toure this time is straight at Di Gregorio.

21:18 Monza 0-2 Atalanta: El Bilal Toure!

That’s a great Atalanta style move. Toure starts the run from basically his own half, spreads it to Lookman down the left, the Nigerian returns the pass off the outside of the boot and Toure just has to sweep it home!

21:15 Monza chance!

Oh Pessina! Gagliardini robbery at the by-line, it’s pulled back for Pessina, who shimmies away from a defender only to fire over!

21:14 Toloi trouble

Somewhat inevitable, the second muscular injury of the night for Atalanta, as Toloi goes down clutching the back of his leg.

Toloi and Ederson off, Djimsiti and De Roon on.

21:13 Izzo booked

Yellow card for the Monza defender and his many tattoos.

21:12 Monza sub

Kyriakopoulos replaced by Maldini.

21:10 Atalanta sub

De Ketelaere off, Koopmeiners on.

21:06 Monza pushing

They’re really pressing now, Birindelli shot charged down in the penalty area.

21:04 Monza attempt

Kyriakopoulos free kick into the wall. Specifically into Toloi’s face.

21:00 Monza sub

Valentin Carboni replaces Colpani

20:57 Save on Lookman!

Lookman turns in a crowd, manages to get the shot away through legs and Di Gregorio parries at the near post. On the resulting corner, Kolasinac header over.

20:55 Atalanta push

Series of corners, but then Hien accidentally handles.

20:51 2nd half kicks off: Monza 0-1 Atalanta

Ruggeri replaces Bakker.

2{live, 20:35, Half-Time: Monza 0-1 Atalanta}

Charles De Ketelaere running the show.

20:30 Monza 0-1 Atalanta: Charles De Ketelaere!

And he even scores the goals! Corner finds De Ketelaere, despite being manhandled by Gagliardini, for the diving header from six yards!

20:29 CDK again

He’s a free range CDK, now down the right again, stands up a cross to the back post, some desperate defending for a corner.

20:26 Save on De Ketelaere!

CDK gets down the left this time, powerful angled drive and Di Gregorio has to palm it away!

20:25 Gagliardini over

Gagliardini onto the Pessina ball over the top, Pasalic does just enough to put him off and the finish is over the bar.

20:24 Oof

Di Gregorio comes flying out to punch a cross clear, ends up accidentally booting Kolasinac in the rib on the way down.

20:22 Monza close!

Zerbin snapshot from distance is dipping viciously, Carnesecchi has to palm it away, then rebound onto the side-netting from Colpani.

20:20 Atalanta chance

Burst down the left, roll across the face of goal, twice Monza players get something on it to prevent the tap-in.

20:19 Atalanta keeping the ball

Tempo has slowed a little after that frantic start. Atalanta trying to find a way through.

20:13 Atalanta sub

Holm cannot continue, so Hateboer comes on.

20:12 CDK doing well

It looks like more of a 3-4-3 for Atalanta and De Ketelaere is doing well down the right, causing Bondo huge problems. Holm is down clutching his calf. Not reassuring.

20:08 Pasalic chance

Atalanta set play not cleared well, comes back in from Ederson and Pasalic mistimes the volley.

20:05 Toure stumble

De Ketelaere impressive again to get away down the right and roll across, Toure first touch is clumsy, allowing Pablo Mari to clear.

20:04 Atalanta staff sent off

A member of Gasperini’s staff, Raimondi, is sent off for continuing to protest about that De Ketelaere incident.

20:01 Atalanta chaos

De Ketelaere with a lovely shimmy to run into the box, goes down under a rather clumsy Bondo hold, but referee waves play on and Lookman can’t finish it off.

20:00 Ederson sprint

Ederson sprints down the left, rides one tackle, not the second from Izzo. Fortunately, he got out of the way.

19:55 And again

Holm cross from the right finds El Bilal Toure in so much time and space, but he rushes it and steers the header wide.

19:54 Atalanta chance!

Kolasinac of all people bursts into the box, should roll back for De Ketelaere, instead goes for goal, Di Gregorio parries and Lookman fires the rebound over!

19:49 Birindelli booked

Good start from the ref, clamping down on a Birindelli dive in the box. He really dragged his foot.

19:48 Monza chance

Low cross whipped in by Zerbin across the six-yard box, Kyriakopoulos just fails to get the tap-in!

19:46 We have kick-off in Monza vs. Atalanta!

19:44 A minute’s silence

A minute’s silence for Mattia Giani, the player who died during a semi-pro game last week.

19:42 Out come the teams

Monza: Di Gregorio; Birindelli, Izzo, Pablo Mari, Kyriakopoulos; Bondo, Gagliardini; Colpani, Pessina, Zerbin; Djuric

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Toloi, Hien, Kolasinac; Holm, Pasalic, Ederson, Bakker; De Ketelaere, Toure, Lookman

19:38 Gasperini speaks

 

19:26 Warming up

 

19:06 Marvellous

Seeing as the trip from Bergamo to Monza is very short, many of the Atalanta fans made it on mopeds. What a sight coming down the motorway!

19:05 Team news

 

18:59 Match report

 

18:56 FT: Salernitana 0-2 Fiorentina

18:54 Salernitana 0-2 Fiorentina: Jonathan Ikone!

Counter-attack, Faraoni cross, Mandragora first attempt is saved by Ochoa, but he can do nothing when Mandragora rolls the rebound across for Ikone.

18:51 Monza vs. Atalanta line-ups

Monza: Di Gregorio; Birindelli, Izzo, Pablo Mari, Kyriakopoulos; Bondo, Gagliardini; Colpani, Pessina, Zerbin; Djuric

Zanoli and Simy on, Sambia and Basic off

18:41 Fiorentina subs

Faraoni and Mandragora on, Kayode and Duncan off.

18:39 Salernitana 0-1 Fiorentina: Christian Kouame!

A goal! An actual goal! Ball floated in by Ranieri and Kouame soars into the sky for a towering header, which he steers back across the face of goal into the far top corner!

18:37 Atalanta arrive

Please give us something to write about.

 

18:36 Oof!

Martinez Quarta booked for leaping with raised elbow. That’s gonna hurt.

18:35 Another wasted Fiorentina chance

Kouame on the counter-attack, he also fails to beat Ochoa one-on-one! The goalkeeper’s great, but this is Fiorentina’s problem…

18:29 Fiorentina subs

Arthur and Kouame replace Castrovilli and Maxime Lopez

18:27 Salernitana subs

Candreva and Ikwuemesi off, Martegani and Weissman on

18:24 Sambia clears

Kayode cross to the back post, Sottil was not alert enough and Sambia was able to put it out for a corner.

18:21 Salernitana sub

Pellegrino on, Pirola seems to have an adductor issue.

18:19 Candreva booked

For manhandling Kayode, so he will be suspended for the next round against Frosinone.

18:17 It’s not happening

Salernitana free kick floated in, appeals for a Ranieri push on Pirola rejected, then Candreva gets the shot wrong!

18:05 Ochoa denies Sottil!

Sottil on the counter, one-on-one, but Ochoa stands tall and makes the block! Ranieri then booked for a foul on Pierozzi. Bit harsh.

18:04 2nd half kicks off: Salernitana 0-0 Fiorentina

17:47 Half-Time: Salernitana 0-0 Fiorentina

17:46 Fight breaks out

Sottil and Basic are absolutely furious! Teammates have to really drag them apart. Both are booked. Sambia meanwhile continues to shout at Sottil.

17:43 Oh Fiorentina

The chances this team is capable of missing. Series of passes inside the penalty area, eventually Ikone fires wide from 10 yards. Not quite sure how.

17:40 Ikone attempt

Fiorentina corner not cleared effectively, until Ikone fires straight at Ochoa.

17:39 Sambia waste

That was a good chance for Salernitana on the corner, but Sambia made a mess of the finish!

17:38 Salernitana chance

Long ball for Ikwuemesi, shrugs off Kayode and the shot is deflected by Martinez Quarta for a corner.

17:36 Fiorentina attack

Parisi dribbles down the left, rolls across and it’s crucially cleared from six yards before anyone can tap in.

17:30 Fiorentina possession

They’re not doing a great deal with it, but they have the ball… Castrovilli dinked pass beyond Barak.

17:23 Lucky for Sottil

Sottil blushes saved after turning a free header wide from four yards, as Castrovilli dragged it out of play. And was offside.

17:19 Maxime Lopez booked

Salernitana respond, Basic was going on the counter until rugby tackled by Maxime Lopez.

17:14 All Fiorentina

Ikone twists and turns, does about 4 dummies, gets a corner out of it.

17:12 Ikone effort

Ikone cuts inside from the right, scuffs the finish straight at Ochoa.

17:11 Salernitana attack

Tchanoua ball flashes past everyone and he was offside anyway.

17:09 Congratulations Candreva

 

17:08 Barak is the striker

Looks like Antonin Barak is playing as centre-forward for Fiorentina, as much as they have one. Parisi cross well smothered by Ochoa.

17:02 Trouble before kick-off

Also getting reports that Salernitana fans were trying to throw things, including fireworks, at Fiorentina supporters, so police put up a cordon to keep them separate.

17:01 We have kick-off in Salernitana vs. Fiorentina

Candreva looked thoroughly embarrassed at his own fans, there.

17:00 A minute’s silence

For Mattia Giani, the player who died during a semi-pro match. It’s meant to be silence, anyway…

16:56 Out come the teams

Salernitana: Ochoa; Pierozzi, Fazio, Pirola, Bradaric; , Tchaouna, Legowski, Basic, Sambia; Candreva; Ikwuemesi

Torino: Terracciano; Kayode, Martinez Quarta, Ranieri, Parisi; Maxime Lopez, Duncan; Barak, Castrovilli, Sottil; Ikone

16:46 Salernitana not doomed yet

If Frosinone had won today, Salernitana could be mathematically relegated. But they didn’t. Still doomed, though.

16:30 Like fine wine

 

16:06 Castrovilli comeback

This is Gaetano Castrovilli’s first appearance of the season and he’s thrown straight into the starting XI in a new, more advanced role than he was accustomed to.

16:05 Salernitana vs. Fiorentina line-ups

Salernitana: Ochoa; Pierozzi, Fazio, Pirola, Bradaric; , Tchaouna, Legowski, Basic, Sambia; Candreva; Ikwuemesi

15:55 Match report

 

15:54 FT: Torino 0-0 Frosinone

Jeers from those in the crowd who are still awake.

15:51 Toro chance

Probably offside anyway, fired over probably with a Romagnoli deflection, goal kick given to silence all the probablys.

15:50 Stoppages

Only 4 minutes of this ‘match’ left. Nearly there, folks.

15:47 Yellow card

Tameze booked for Torino.

Frosinone subs, Reinier and Cuni on, Soule and Cheddira off.

15:45 Toro sub

Ilic rather loudly jeered as he goes off, Lovato on. A defender?

15:45 Bellanova shot

Bellanova blocked off, has to cut inside and with his weaker left foot he fires wide.

15:43 Urgh

Ilic tries to score directly from an impossible angle. Funnily enough, it proves impossible.

15:43 Bellanova blazing

Where would Toro be without Bellanova? He bursts down the right, brought down by Okoli in a bookable offence.

15:41 Frosinone sub

Mazzitelli on, Gelli off.

15:38 Frosinone sub

Seck replaces Brescianini against his old club.

15:35 Toro sub

Lazaro on for Vojvoda, meanwhile Cheddira just failed to get to a cross flashed across the face of goal.

15:34 VMS save

Foul given against Cheddira on Buongiorno eventually, but VMS had made the save anyway rushing off his line.

15:30 Soule wide

Frosinone corner deflected to the edge of the area, Soule hits it on the volley, but wide.

15:27 Torino sub

Sanabria replaces Okereke

15:22 Romagnoli crucial

Duvan Zapata kept onside by Valeri, so Romagnoli has to make the sliding tackle in the box. On the resulting corner, Vlasic tries an overhead kick, but the ball is stolen first.

15:22 That’s why they do that

Bloke lying down behind the wall might look stupid, but it works, as he charges down the Valeri strike.

15:20 Linetty booked

For a shove on Cheddira, who had intercepted a wayward pass.

15:17 Save on Cheddira

Rodriguez literally just falls over, Cheddira goes on the counter, but the finish is too close to VMS, who parries for a corner.

15:16 Actual save!

Hark, some football has broken out! Okereke cuts inside, unleashes a right-foot rocket from outside the box and Turati has to beat it away!

15:12 Urgh

Well that’s this game in a nutshell. Duvan Zapata massively over-hits a through ball for Okereke. It was basic. Really, really basic.

15:05 2nd half kicks off: Torino 0-0 Frosinone

14:55 Fabio Grosso is here

He was the coach at Frosinone when they earned promotion, then went on to a brief spell at Marseille. Now he is in the stands watching his old club.

14:47 Half-Time: Torino 0-0 Frosinone

14:46 Duvan Zapata scorcher

Absolute rocket from distance and Turati finds it trickier than expected, almost fumbles.

14:42 Cheddira back-heel

Soule sends Zortea down the right, pullback from the by-line, Cheddira back-heel flick into the goalkeeper’s arms.

14:40 Mazzitelli soft

Mazzitelli breaks away from Ilic, runs forward and then scuffs the weak finish straight at VMS.

14:36 Valeri booked

Bellanova absolutely screamed then, Valeri stamped on his foot.

14:33 Torino miss!

Oh they ought to score there! Bellanova pull-back charged down, Tameze finds Duvan Zapata from 12 yards, he balloons it wide!

14:31 Frosinone over

Mazzitelli fires well over after some good work from Soule. Duvan Zapata then handles when trying to control a cross.

14:28 Toro corner cleared

We thought we should tell you Torino had a corner. That’s it.

14:25 Frosinone chance

Interesting corner kick routine finds Valeri outside the box, but he drills it wide.

14:23 Zortea out of pitch

Zortea gets to the by-line and pulls back, but too late, he’d dragged it out of play.

14:17 Toro respond

Vojvoda cuts inside, but blasts well wide with his right foot from outside the box.

14:16 Soule!

That’s more like it! Soule’ nutmeg, dribbles past another, left-foot curler SKIMS the far post!

14:16 Sigh

A remarkable number of really basic passing errors. Tempo very sluggish. Let’s be honest, nobody expected better from these two.

14:07 Oh dear

Torino try to attack, Lirola clears from Duvan Zapata, then Linetty scuffs it quite spectacularly wide.

14:06 Shaky Torino start

Milinkovic-Savic gets into a bit of a muddle with Vojvoda, just about manages to clear.

14:01 We have kick-off in Torino vs. Frosinone

 

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Tameze, Buongiorno, Rodriguez; Bellanova, Ilic, Linetty, Vojvoda; Vlasic; Okereke, Duvan Zapata

Frosinone: Turati; Lirola, Romagnoli, Okoli; Zortea, Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini, Valeri; Soule, Cheddira

14:00 A minute’s silence

Before every game for Mattia Giani, the player who died during a semi-pro match last week.

13:39 Curious Frosinone record

Frosinone are without a single away win in Serie A this season, but they did eliminate both Torino and Napoli from the Coppa Italia in away fixtures.

13:32 That scene again

Sassuolo players stand there sheepishly while the ultras shout at them. This doesn’t happen in other countries, does it?

13:28 Team news

Toro are coming off the goalless Derby della Mole against Juventus with Samuele Ricci suspended, Koffi Djidji, Gvidas Gineitis, Perr Schuurs and Pietro Pellegri injured.

Riccardo Marchizza, Kevin Bonifazi, Abdou Harroui, Anthony Oyono and Sergio Kalaj did not make the trip after a 2-2 draw with Napoli.

13:23 Match report

 

13:22 FT: Sassuolo 0-3 Lecce

Huge result for the Salentini, but Sassuolo are really in trouble now.

13:20 Stoppages

Only 2 minutes and Lecce still attacking on the counter…

13:13 Lecce subs

Gendrey (who has really bad cramp) and Krstovic off, Pierotti and Venuti on.

Ceide replaces Lauriente for Sassuolo.

13:12 Better from Sassuolo

Toljan roll across from the right, Baschirotto with an important clearance from six yards. On the resulting corner, Doig effort straight at Falcone. Gendrey has cramp.

13:04 Lecce subs

Dorgu and Piccoli off, Berisha and Sansone on

13:02 Pinamonti close

Pinamonti on the half-volley from distance, it’s not far wide.

13:00 Sassuolo chance

Long throw-in bounces, Mulattieri gets his head to it and Falcone smothers.

12:58 Consigli again

Oudin dribbles down the left, rolls across the six-yard box, Consigli has to get down and fingertip it away.

12:56 Torino vs. Frosinone line-ups

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Tameze, Buongiorno, Rodriguez; Bellanova, Ilic, Linetty, Vojvoda; Vlasic; Okereke, Duvan Zapata

Frosinone: Turati; Lirola, Romagnoli, Okoli; Zortea, Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini, Valeri; Soule, Cheddira

12:55 Consigli keeps scoreline down

Sassuolo defence is AWOL, Consigli has to make himself big on the Piccoli counter-attack.

12:54 Sassuolo sub

Lipani on, Thorstvedt off.

12:53 Dorgu slip

Dorgu surges forward, but slips when taking the shot, so it’s easy for Consigli.

12:50 Sassuolo 0-3 Lecce: Roberto Piccoli!

Ouch, Sassuolo. Ouch. Lose the ball in midfield, Krstovic through ball, Piccoli is quickest and nutmegs the on-rushing Consigli.

12:45 Lecce sub

Gonzalez replaces Rafia.

12:44 Goal-line clearance!

Dorgu header cleared off the line by Ferrari, almost 3-0 for Lecce!

12:42 Lecce look comfortable

The three half-time changes don’t seem to have made much difference for Sassuolo.

12:36 Ouch

Gendrey pulls back from the by-line, Erlic charges it down with his… let’s say lower stomach.

12:34 2nd half kicks off: Sassuolo 0-2 Lecce

Volpato, Doig and Mulattieri on, Viti, Defrel and Bajrami off.

12:18 Half-Time: Sassuolo 0-2 Lecce

Gendrey free header and Dorgu tap-in in the opening minutes.

12:17 Pinamonti effort

It counts as being on target, and was an impressive control and volley on the turn, but also straight at Falcone.

12:15 Lecce again

Piccoli turns a defender and pulls back from the by-line, important clearance, but then the linesman says the ball went out of play.

12:13 Lecce threaten

Corner cleared, put back in and this time Gendrey turns the header over. He was again completely unmarked. Do Sassuolo know what marking is?

12:09 Oh dear

Sassuolo are trying, but Toljan blasts his shot into the sky.

12:07 Monday night

 

11:59 Getting closer

Viti gets to the by-line, manages to pull it back, but there’s nobody ready to tap in! Pinamonti didn’t make the run and Gallo clears.

11:57 Sassuolo again

Defrel fires over the bar with his left foot after cutting inside from the right.

11:54 Sassuolo chance

Defrel shot charged down, then Pinamonti absolutely free header goes wide.

11:54 Lecce record

 

11:53 Ouch

Following a rubbish Bajrami corner, clash of heads between Defrel and Pongracic. They’re fine.

11:50 Lauriente banned

Lauriente clatters Gendrey from behind, is booked and will be suspended against Fiorentina. Any more bad news for Sassuolo? It’s a nightmare start for them.

11:46 Sassuolo 0-2 Lecce: Patrick Dorgu!

Ball over the top for Gallo, who rolls across the face of goal from the left and Dorgu simply has to sweep it into the net from seven yards. Sassuolo defence just all at sea…

11:41 Sassuolo 0-1 Lecce: Valentin Gendrey!

They went close on the corner, now score on a free kick that is whipped to the back post for the Valentin Gendrey header! Thorstvedt was in front of him, but didn’t jump.

11:37 Lecce chance

Oudin corner is nodded just over the bar by Blin!

11:30 We have kick-off in Sassuolo vs. Lecce

Sassuolo: Consigli; Toljan, Erlic, Ferrari, Viti; Thorstvedt, Henrique; Defrel, Bajrami, Lauriente; Pinamonti

Lecce: Falcone; Gendrey, Pongracic, Baschirotto, Gallo; Oudin, Blin, Rafia, Dorgu; Krstovic, Piccoli

11:29 A minute’s silence

Before every game, a minute’s silence for Mattia Giani, the player who died during a semi-pro game last week.

11:20 Berardi talks to squad

Domenico Berardi might be out after knee surgery, but he is still acting as captain, standing by the side of the pitch during the warm-up talking to the club directors, giving advice and encouragement to the players.

11:17 So many Lecce fans

There might actually be more Lecce fans here than Sassuolo ones. That’s not just travelling supporters, but a lot of those from Salento who already live and work in the Reggio Emilia area.

10:47 Team news

Sassuolo have at least stalled the rot with three consecutive stalemates, but remain in the bottom two with Domenico Berardi, Samu Castillejo and Marcus Pedersen injured.

Pontus Almqvist is suspended with Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, Jeppe Corfitzen and Kastriot Dermaku long-term absentees. They switch to a 4-4-2 formation. Lecce were boosted by a late win over Empoli last week.

10:27 Sassuolo vs. Lecce line-ups

Sassuolo: Consigli; Toljan, Erlic, Ferrari, Viti; Thorstvedt, Henrique; Defrel, Bajrami, Lauriente; Pinamonti
