Empoli delighted the fans in the last seconds of the match against Roma!
Before the last matchday 38 of Serie A, Empoli players only managed two points in four games and were the main contenders for relegation. The opponents are the Roma. Is there hopelessness in your heads? It doesn’t matter what it is!
In a parallel match, Empoli’s two rivals, Frosinone and Udinese, had to put things right. This is definitely a blessing. But to retain the residence permit in Serie A it was necessary to defeat the Romans in any case. Cancellieri scored in the 13th minute. This is salvation! And yet, Aouar responded in added time of the first half: 1:1.
Despite the serious advantage of the more motivated Empoli, the score remained tied until the 90+3 minute. Until Niang opened up to an excellent pass from Cancellieri himself and scored the winning goal. The stands were filled with true madness. With the final whistle, everything spread to the field: happy fans ran onto the grass and celebrated with the team an incredible turnaround in favor of their favorites! It seems that Zenit celebrated its recent championship with less joy. Frosinone lost by the narrow margin and moved to Serie B, one point behind.

Empoli played for the third year in Serie A. This was the most difficult moment for them: previously they had twice finished in 14th place. Cambiaghi and Gyasi ruined so many chances during the championship that even Fernando Torres, in his time at Chelsea , I would have applauded them. Thanks to Cancellieri and Niang, they didn’t just work for themselves.
