21:12

Zebre try

Another loose ball and kick chase leads to another score from the home side. 31-0
21:11

Glasgow penalty

Glasgow can clear the lines, with a penalty coming from that earlier scrum. Richie Simpson puts Glasgow back in Zebre's half.
21:08

Amena Caqusau cleans up

The ball goes loose, Zebre kick it all the way down to Glasgow's 22. Amena Caqusau show us the pace he possesses with an absolutely rapid run back. He manages to tidy up any threats, before the referee blows up for a Glasgow scrum.
21:07

Glasgow penalty

From the try, Richie Simpson has an opportunity to put Glasgow right in the corner next to Zebre's try line. His kick is good and they have 15 metres to make up from the set piece. Henco Venter has a go at the line.
21:06

Zebre try

The home side score their fourth score of the match. This time through a 20 metre break from the number eight, Giovanni Licata. The conversion is good too, taking the score up to 24-0.
21:01

Zebre hold firm

Glasgow have had a few opportunities to mount an attack, but Zebre have held firm in defence. This time they win a penalty and send the ball down, deep into Glasgow's half easing any pressure that's been on in the previous few minutes.
20:55

Glasgow break

Glasgow turnover on their own line and Richie Simpson makes 60 metres before being chased down. He doesn't have any support though and the ball goes loose and into touch.
20:53

Zebre maul

Zebre begin to pick up the pace in this game. First a fast moving maul in front of the main stand, then quick ball through the hands of the bags. Another set of phases and they are up to Glasgow's five metre line.
20:48

Zebre try

A quick shift in momentum, Zebre kick down field and off the set piece score their third try of the match. They extend their lead to 19-0.
20:41

Kennedy breaks

A quick tap penalty from the replacement scrum-half Sean Kennedy takes Glasgow within five metres of Zebre's line.
20:41

Glasgow line-out

Glasgow win another opportunity in Zebre's half to build an attack from the set piece. Sean Kennedy providing clean ball to his backs to advance.
20:38

Glasgow line-out

Grant Stewart sets up the maul from the set piece as Glasgow make yards and enter Zebre Parma's 22.
20:34

Working through the hands

The backs have an opportunity to string some phases together, passing the ball wide. They're looking a little more structured and this young group of players are beginnig to play with some intent.
20:31

Second half underway

We're back underway and at the break Head Coach, Franco Smith has made a series of changes.
20:20

Half Time

Harsh... Glasgow throw everything at the line, winning repeat penalties inside the Zebre 22. However, Venter is penalised for not releasing at the breakdown in a split-second decision, and Zebre boot it off the park for half-time.
20:15

Penalty Glasgow

Big carry from McKay, before the ball is recycled to Jordan who frees Oguntibeju. The big man charges into contact and takes three defenders with him, one of whom is penalised for not rolling away. Weir finds touch inside the Zebre 22.
20:14

Penalty Zebre

The home side win the penalty at the scrum, and Montemauri sends the ball downfield. He misses touch though, and back comes McKay...
20:13

Scrum Zebre

Unlucky from Glasgow, as the set-play almost works to perfection only for the ball to go to ground at the last moment. Scrum to the hosts.
20:10

Scrum Glasgow

A quick restart from the Warriors and Zebre are caught napping - they gather the restart but fumble at the ruck, giving Glasgow the scrum.
20:09

Try Zebre

A second score for the hosts - Montemauri's miss-pass is almost picked off by Jordan, but instead Giulio Bertaccini breaks clear. He's brought down, but offloads to Albert Batista for the score. Montemauri converts for a 14-0 lead.
20:07

Zebre lineout

Afshar booms his clearance downfield and Zebre have the lineout just inside the Glasgow half.
20:06

Zebre ball

Excellent maul defence from the Glasgow pack, driving their opponents backwards. Fusco takes it on himself and is within 5m, but Weir gets in the way and wins the turnover!
20:05

Penalty Zebre

McKay does brilliantly in the air again, but this time the decision goes Zebre's way - Montemauri finds touch inside the Glasgow 22.
20:03

Scrum Zebre

Good maul progress initially from Glasgow, but the referee spots a knock on as Afshar looks to play the ball and it's a scrum to the hosts.
20:02

Penalty Glasgow

McKay takes a high ball superbly and Zebre are penalised for going off their feet - Weir finds touch on the Zebre 22.
20:00

Zebre lineout

Close! Turnover ball from Angus Fraser sees it spun wide from McKay, but Trotter can't quite gather the ball and it drifts into touch.
19:59

Zebre ball

Weir makes up for it immediately with a great spot blitz in defence, before Logan Trotter forces a mistake and chases after the loose ball. Scrappy for Zebre, who kick long.
19:57

Zebre lineout

Weir's kick in behind is just too long, and Zebre have the lineout on halfway.
19:57

Glasgow ball

Great work from Oguntibeju to charge down the kick, and Glasgow come forward with Jordan and Salmon.
19:54

Zebre lineout

A Glasgow pass is intercepted, but Tom Jordan is there to cover the chip in behind and return with interest - Zebre lineout on their own 10m line.
19:52

Glasgow lineout

Good pressure from Oguntibeju off the restart earns Glasgow an attacking lineout, from which Duncan Munn crashes forward.
19:51

Try Zebre

The first score of the night goes to the hosts - it's Fusco who gets the ball down in the end, the scrum-half sniping over from close range. Giovani Montemauri converts and it's a 7-0 scoreline.
19:49

Zebre ball

A brief stoppage for some treatment, before Zebre come back once more - Alessandro Fusco injects some pace with the clean break, before a super try-saver from Josh McKay and Ben Salmon on Ben Cambriani out wide.
19:43

No try

The home side think they've grabbed the opening score of the night - the maul proves too powerful to stop from close-range, with Tommaso di Bartomoleo in range, only for the referee to rule out the score for a knock on. Scrum to the Warriors, from which the Glasgow pack earn the penalty and Weir clears to touch.
19:41

Penalty Zebre

Weir gets in to steal the ball at the ruck, but play is brought back for an earlier advantage. The hosts kick to the corner.
19:40

Scrum Zebre

This time the handling error comes from the visitors, and Zebre have the feed on the Glasgow 22.
19:38

Scrum Glasgow

Once again the Glasgow pack force the error from their hosts, and win the scrum on their own 22.
19:36

Penalty Zebre

Good work from Josh McKay and Ben Afshar frees up the blindside for the Warriors, but Zebre scramble and win the penalty at the ruck. Zebre kick to touch for a lineout inside the Glasgow half.
19:35

Penalty Glasgow

Venter gets over the ball and wins the penalty for the visitors, which Duncan Weir dispatches to touch on the Zebre 10m line.
19:34

Glasgow ball

Good work at the set piece from Jare Oguntibeju, who combines with Henco Venter for the turnover. Zebre come back at Glasgow from the kick, though, and back into Glasgow territory we go.
19:33

Scrum Zebre

An early midfield battle to start us off, which results in a Zebre scrum after a knock on at a contested breakdown
