Continuation of the 25th day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. Fiorentina traveled to Tuscany to challenge the Empoli club, on the lawn of the Carlo-Castellani stadium. While the Viola quickly raised the tone, Lucas Beltran opened the scoring for the visitors (29th) but in the second half, the former Rennais, M’Baye Niang, equalized from the penalty spot (56th). A meeting without any real flavor which ended in this disappointing draw (1-1) for Vincenzo Italiano’s players. Same result in the other match of the afternoon with Udinese’s reception at Cagliari (1-1). Jordan Zemura opened (14th), well responded by this equalizer from Gianluca Gaetano (14th).

In the standings, Fiorentina remains in a very good position in the Italian championship with a good 7th position, while Empoli is still in difficulty, flirting with the red zone by settling in 16th place in Serie A. Udinese is also in great danger with a tasteless 15th place, while Cagliari closes the ranking being 19th ahead of Salernitana. Next weekend, Viola will host Lazio, Empoli will play against Sassuolo. Udinese will face Genoa and Cagliari will cross swords with Napoli.
