Empoli-Salernitana 2-1: Cambiaghi and Caputo score the goals of tranquillity

'Empoli places a serious threat on salvation by winning the direct clash of Castellani against Salernitana by 2-1. An excellent performance that of the Azzurri, who thus leave Campania in the standings. Among the good Ochoa grenade, capable of limiting a passive that could have been much heavier and Piatek, who shortens the distance in the final. The first half is the appetizer of what will be an authentic monologue from the hosts who, thanks also to the 4-2-3-1 confirmed by Zanetti after the good results against Bologna four days ago, crush Salernitana in their own half court. Ochoa's saves on Caputo and Cambiaghi between the 11th and 16th minutes served as a prologue to the beautiful goal by the blue number 28, his third consecutive goal, this time from Ebuehi's cross from the right. With a non-paying Vicar spectator, Paulo Sousa decides at half-time to change the face of his Salernitana: in Daniliuc, Kastanos and Piatek, out Sambia, Pirola and Mazzocchi and switch to 4-4-2.

A shock from Salernitana is expected and instead it is Empoli who miss by a whisker, and twice, the knockout blow within sixty seconds. First a dangerous cross from Baldanzi was instinctively deflected for a corner by Ochoa, then it was the crossbar that said no to Ebuehi. The good time is the third, with Ebuehi's own assist for Caputo's goal after a long Var consultation for a possible offside from the former Sassuolo. Parisi could drop the set but his diagonal left foot only scares Ochoa and goes out by not much. Thrilling final thanks to Piatek's goal and the seven minutes of added time granted by match director Volpi. Pjaca scores in the 90th minute but everything is canceled due to a previous offside. Not bad for the Azzurri, who win the three points and see the finish line just a step away while Salernitana's unbeaten run ends after ten games.
