Everything started well for Empoli, who opened the scoring thanks to an own goal from Zanoli (1-0, 23rd). But after the break, Salernitana came back to score thanks to Weissman, after the hour mark (1-1, 69th). But at the very end of the match from the penalty spot, M’Baye Niang allowed Empoli to regain the advantage (2-1, 88th), before Cancellieri (3-1, 90th+4) sealed the victory and allowed his team to leave the red zone.
