Naples, at the top of Serie A, at the dawn of this 8th day of the Championship, was keen to maintain its place. Traveling to Empoli this Sunday, Antonio Conte’s men continued their good series (0-1). The match was not very lively in the first half. Rare occasions made the stadium of the Stadio Carlo Castellani vibrate a little, like those of Sebastiano Esposito (11th, 31st) on the side Azzurri.
In the second half, the inevitable Khvicha Kvaratskhelia managed to finally open the scoring (63rd, 0-1), after a penalty obtained following a nasty mistake by Faustino Anjorin. The Georgian has already scored 3 goals and 2 assists this season. At the end of this meeting, Naples remains leader with 19 points, Juventus sticking the southern Italian club with 16 points. For its part, Empoli drops to 11th place with 10 points.
