Continuation of the 31st day of Serie A this Saturday evening. The Empoli club hosted Torino in Tuscany, on their common pitch at the Carlo Castellani stadium. This meeting pitted two teams with crossed destinies against each other. The locals hope to consolidate their rise to lock down their place in the Italian elite, the visitors hope to secure a European ticket. Nicolò Cambiaghi quickly opened the scoring (6th). The Granata dominated the match and logically equalized with Duván Zapata (60th). But against all expectations, despite being well shaken, Empoli took the lead again with their second strike of the match thanks to an achievement by Matteo Cancellieri (74th).
With several tactical changes made urgently, Duván Zapata scored a double (90th + 1) but it was without counting on the reaction of the former Rennais and Auxerrois, M'Baye Niang who allowed the locals ( 90th+5) to secure the victory (3-2). In the standings, Torino is dropping points but still remains in a good position in the Italian championship with this solid 9th place, while Empoli consolidates 15th position in Serie A. Next weekend, the Granata will welcome the rival to Piedmont Turin from Juventus, while the Azzaurri will travel to challenge Lecce, during the 32nd Italian day.
