Empoli-Juve, bianconeri overwhelmed in Tuscany: 4-1

Empoli beat Juventus 4-1 at the “Castellani” in the postponement of the 36th day of Serie A. Goal from a penalty by Caputo in the 18th minute, doubling from Luperto in the 21st minute. Caputo drops the trio in the second half in the 48th minute, Chiesa shortens in the 85th minute and in added time Empoli drops poker with Piccoli, Juventus slips after the 10 penalty points decided by the FIGC Federal Court of Appeal on the capital gains case at 59 points, in seventh place while Empoli jumps to 42 points and celebrates salvation.
After the news of the last hour of the new 10-point penalty in the standings, Juventus therefore also made up for a bad impression on the field of an excellent Empoli, capable of imposing themselves with a 4-1 in the last postponement of the 36th day of Serie A. Caputo’s brace and Luperto and Piccoli’s seals decide Al Castellani, while Chiesa’s host flare is of little use: Allegri’s team thus returns to losing after three wins in a row and a draw, slipping back out of all the Europe zone due to the ruling of the Federal Court. The Champions League is now really hanging by a thread with the Bianconeri on 59 points, five behind fourth-placed Milan that Di Maria and his teammates will challenge at home in the next round. Third success in the last four outings, instead, for Zanetti’s men who reach 42 points.
