Empoli beat Roma at home with a goal from Niang in the 93rd minute. A success that is worth staying in Serie A. The match ends with fireworks and with thousands of people on the pitch. A very hard-fought victory for the Tuscans who finally accomplished the feat. On the pitch the tension is cut into slices. Every mistake can be decisive. This is why in the first minute the yellow card for Gyasi, after a wide tackle on Angelino, scares the Empoli bench. In the 9th minute, an excellent opportunity for Roma with Dybala unable to find the target from the edge of the area. The Tuscans took the lead in the 13th minute, when Gyasi took advantage of Angelino’s lightness and entered the area quickly, serving Cancellieri in the centre, who controlled and scored the opening goal ahead of Svilar. In the 16th minute, another mistake in the clearance for Roma with Cristante who in the defensive midfield had the ball stolen by Destro, but the center forward took advantage of it and tried to hit the net from outside the area without serving Cancellieri. N’Dicka blocks and saves the result. In the 17th minute, Dybala’s attempt from the edge of the box: the Argentinian’s left-footed shot ends up just above Caprile’s goal. A minute later, following a free kick, Cristante’s goal arrives: Dybala’s cross is very good and finds Cristante’s header, the midfielder was already offside. Two miracles from Caprile, first on Cristante, then on Abraham and then the tap-in of the midfielder who scores, but the goal is disallowed.
You play on a razor’s edge, every blunder can be very serious. In the half hour, Svilar made a great exit on Cancellieri who had made the most of an error by Dybala. Exactly in the 45th minute Roma equalized with a header in the middle of the area, only by the Algerian Aouar, ready to take advantage of a cross from the left from two steps away. At the beginning of the second half Nicola changes the booked Gyasi for Walukiewicz and a dull right for Niang. The first opportunity goes to Cacace who, from two steps away, has a touch from a good position saved by Svilar, then in the 9th minute a great opportunity for the Tuscans. Serious mistake by Mancini who lets the ball flow and is captured by Niang who, however, misses the target on the counterattack with his right foot. Roma hit the post in the 11th minute with Zalewski hitting the outside of the upright with his left foot. In the 13th minute, Cancellieri is always dangerous from the left and as soon as he enters the area he tries a pass on Svilar who however remains standing and blocks in two stages.
Empoli-Roma 2-1
In the 24th minute, out of nowhere, the Romanian Marin pulls off a splendid shot: his right-footed shot hits the crossbar, and from then on Nicola tries everything, including Caputo and then Cambiaghi. In the meantime, news of Udinese’s advantage arrives from Frosinone. In the final, another great opportunity for Cancellieri with a header, but he misses the target from two steps away. When we are 3 minutes past the 90th minute, Empoli takes the lead again with a goal from Niang who right-footed past Svilar 2 minutes from time. A lot of time was wasted in the celebration and in the 96th minute the referee Massa blew the whistle three times to end a match which gave way to the third consecutive safety and the invasion of the pitch. Empoli will play the fourth consecutive Serie A in their history. (
