With a fifth qualifying place for the Champions League in their sights, Naples traveled to Empoli as part of the 33rd day of Serie A, this Saturday. If the Neapolitans hoped to resume their march forward in the championship, they once again experienced defeat (1-0). Picked up cold by Alberto Cerri (4th), author of his first goal of the season, the reigning Italian champion was never able to react and the domination of Francesco Calzona’s players proved fruitless.

Broken offensively this afternoon, Victor Osimhen’s teammates only had one shot on target against one of the worst defenses in the Italian championship. Empoli could even have doubled the lead with Nicolo Cambiaghi, whose shot found Alex Meret’s post. With this tenth defeat of the season, Napoli once again loses valuable points for Europe. With a second consecutive victory at home, Empoli carried out an excellent operation for maintenance. The Tuscans temporarily take a four-point lead over Frosinone, first in relegation. However, they lost their French striker, M’Baye Niang, who was injured in the 20th minute.
