Continuation of the 15th day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. The Empoli club traveled to Veneto to face Hellas Verona on the pitch at the Marcantonio-Bentegodi stadium. On both sides, the objective of this duel was quite simple: get ahead of a rival to climb the rankings. The Gialloblu wanted to score valuable points to move away from the red zone, while the Azzurri needed to take units to put pressure on the top of the Italian basket and thus return to the bottom of the European pack.
In a match clearly dominated by the visitors, Sebastiano Esposito opened the scoring in the first period (16th), before quickly doubling the lead (19th). Liberato Cacace was able to find the net to already shelter Empoli (32nd). The reduction in the score of Casper Tengstedt (35th) changed nothing since Lorenzo Colombo scored his fourth goal (42nd). In the ranking, Empoli did well (1-4) and moved up to 9th position, while Hellas Verona was far behind, on the outskirts of the red zone, in 17th place. Next weekend, the Gialloblu will challenge Parma away. The Azzurri will host Torino on the 16th day of the Italian championship.
