00:00 We're off and away in the relegation playoff, the last match of this enthralling Serie A campaign.
00:06 We will know in 90 minutes time who will be staying in Serie A and who will be plummeting down to the second division, Serie B.
00:14 The other striker is another striker, so he's opted to play with two strikers up front.
00:20 Lazovic getting the better there, Wisniewski, Lazovic, all the way through to Faraone!
00:28 First blood, Verona!
00:31 At the end of this game here, wonderful work from one wing-back, Darko Lazovic.
00:37 It came all the way through to Faraone and inadvertently into the back of the net from Ampadu.
00:43 Faraone with two in two after he netted at San Siro.
00:48 And it is Helas Verona who take an all-important lead.
00:53 Yes, that's a great long ball towards Lazovic.
00:58 Suleymane closing him down, Nzola, Shumarodov, and this is Ampadu!
01:04 That's the way to reply!
01:08 His first ever goal in Italian football, Ethan Ampadu.
01:14 This is incredible, Thomas. From zero to hero.
01:21 Yeah, he might have a bad 13 minutes, but look at this strike!
01:27 Yes, there is a deflection, desperate deflection by Gian Giacomo Magnani.
01:31 But the ball just straight into the top corner.
01:35 Montepò cannot save that, but what a double deflection I think.
01:40 But what a start of the game. Incredible strike, half a volley. Perfect.
01:49 And Gauge, give and go, and Gauge!
01:53 Well, we said he hasn't been in the match at all in the first 25 minutes.
01:58 But the Belgian comes up with goal number three, Verona's second.
02:02 Suleymane has spotted Gauge in the outbox after winning the ball back.
02:07 Look, cut in, look at Gauge, look the way they play here.
02:11 Cheeky one-two, and as soon as you think that Gauge is going to take an extra touch,
02:16 no, he banged it first touch.
02:19 Maybe Drungoski could have done better here,
02:22 but I think he's not expecting Gauge to strike it first.
02:26 Gonzola, away by Heane.
02:30 Gauge gets the rub of the green, now then, the afterburners on.
02:36 Cyril and Gauge, back onto his right, twisting, turning, getting a deflection.
02:41 And Verona have a two-goal lead.
02:45 Ampadu, look here, he's winning this crucial challenge against Nicolau.
02:51 He drives the ball, Ampadu is staying away from him.
02:54 He finds himself one against one, but then Gauge finds the front post area.
03:00 They surprise Drungoski's little deflection by Ampadu, but Gauge is absolutely on fire.
03:09 In the last five minutes, flares being thrown onto the pitch.
03:13 This is Shumuradov, Shumuradov off the line from Faleoni.
03:18 I think it's a red card.
03:22 It's a red card.
03:23 Well, he had to, he was the last man, but the referee has seen something that we haven't.
03:29 And Verona are down to ten men.
03:36 Thomas, there is no need. Now you're leaving your teammates in ten men, plus a penalty for the opponents.
03:47 Spezia's talisman, Spezia's top scorer, up against Montipo.
03:53 And Zola! What a save from Montipo!
03:57 It was a nonchalant run-up from the Angolan.
04:02 Look here, just waiting, waiting, waiting.
04:06 Verona live to fight another day.
04:11 They ensure a fifth straight season amongst Italy's elite and end Spezia's Serie A journey.
