The victory cements the permanence in A of Hellas and makes the Tuscans retrane after the illusory draw of Fazzini
After 4 seasons Empoli returns to Serie B. The final sprint that had opened the glimmer salvation stops at the last kilometer. Verona 2-1 wins, cementing a stay that was almost safe on the eve but at a certain point – with the results of the other fields – was about to wove. The Hellas unlocked it after 4 ‘with Serdar, saw himself reaching 43’ from Fazzini and replied in the second half with Bradaric when Empoli pushed because the equal would still condemn him to Lecce victorious in the home of Lazio.
Shock start
–
D’Aversa prefers Esposito to Colombo, while Zanetti chooses Sarr as the only tip. Hellas passes to the first lunge. Sarr bank, Duda stretches for Sardar, flagship right and ball that gets up to the low corner on the right of Vasquez. It is the 4th minute and the simultaneous advantage of Venice on Juve puts further pressure on Empoli. That after the moment of stunning reacts finding a couple of corners without developments. He is then perilli to raise Henderson’s soft punishment in the corner. The hosts grow, Fazzini looks for the heel on Gyasi’s cross but does not find the impact. Shortly thereafter, Esposito will try on punishment but the ball flies over the crossbar. Juve’s advantage in Venice does not change the position of Empoli, given that Lecce resists Lazio. And then you need to push in search of 1-1. D’Aversa’s team does it with fogue and little lucidity, struggling to conclude with Verona who defends itself in order. At 42 ‘the first real goal of Empoli arrives with Fazzini’s shot that Puri rejects in dive. The equal arrives a minute later: Cross of Grassi, head of Esposito, central rejection of the Veronese goalkeeper and tap in Fazzini’s winner. At the same time, however, the goal of Lecce arrives who forces Empoli to go hunting for the victory to save himself.

Start of shooting and Fazzini trims a elbow to the dawidowicz chest with a distant ball but the VAR does not intervene. The 10-0 in the corner account in favor of Empoli after 55 ‘makes it clear the progress of the match. D’Aversa raises the center of gravity with the first two changes: Anjorin and Colombo inside for Cacace and Henderson. Zanetti replies with Livramento and Mosqura for Suslov and Sarr focusing on the speed to exploit the counterattack with Empoli all forward in search of the salvation goal. The minutes pass and Verona resists without granting sharp opportunities to the Tuscans. The goal comes, but Hellas scored is. Cross of Tcatchoua, Bradaric detaches his head and beats Vasquez. We are at 69 ‘and the road to Empoli becomes damned uphill. D’Aversa takes away Gyasi and inserts Solbalkken playing everything for everything. Perilli blocks the conclusion from outside of Anjorin. Duda puts the chills in Vasquez with a great blow from afar to the side of little. Zanetti inserts Bernede and cutters for Serdar and Bradaric, D’Aversa takes away Goglichidze and Esposito for Sambia and Konate. These are the moves of despair. We are at 82 ‘. The final assault turns off with the punishment of Fazzini tall of a whisker. The triple whistle condemns Empoli to relegation, while Hellas celebrates.
