Lecce’s attitude was correct, more aggressive and more present in the opponent’s half of the field. For Empoli, with the exception of the disallowed goal, we saw little of former Como player Alberto Cerri. Nicola can always count on Cambiaghi and Niang on the bench, with the latter often being decisive in the last minutes of the game.4:00 pm
Empoli broke the deadlock after 5 minutes with Cerri’s goal but, following the on field review, Mariani canceled out the goal. The lead came from a foul by Caprile, who was irregular in catching the ball with his hands just outside the penalty area. During the first 45 minutes there was no shortage of action: several decisive interventions from the two goalkeepers. 3.58pm

Nicola hopes to play the Niang card during the match, which is why the attacker still starts from the bench, in his place Cerri who will team up with Cancellieri. Cambiaghi is also out, with Pezzella (who wins the run-off with Cacace) and Gyasi on the flanks with Zurkowski, Marin and Bastoni in midfield. 2.43pm
