Frosinone-Udinese 0-1
Frosinone coached by Di Francesco plays a good match but concedes Davis’ goal in the 76th minute, their first in Serie A. The match is played openly by both teams with the hosts dangerous in the 18th and 19th minutes, but Okoye is decisive first on Zortea’s conclusion, then on Okoli’s close-range header. The most intense thrill comes in the 40th minute: Soulé hits the crossbar with a free kick.
At the start of the second half in the 47th minute another woodwork for Frosinone with Brescianini who with a soft touch underneath looks for (and finds…) the far post. Then in the 58th minute Zortea tries but the Juventus goalkeeper is still good. Udinese defends itself, resists and in the 76th minute takes the lead: a long ball towards Lucca, who blocks it with his chest and involuntarily provides the cushion for Davis who beats Cerofolini with his left foot. The hosts tried until the end but without success and had to be relegated to Serie B.
Empoli-Rome
The Tuscans won 2-1 in the 93rd minute thanks to Niang’s goal and saved themselves, remaining in Serie A. The decisive goal from the former Milan player at the last second sealed a crazy run by the Tuscans with Nicola acting as coach. yet another feat to save a team that seemed doomed. In the match against Roma, Empoli took the lead in the 13th minute with Cancellieri’s goal. De Rossi’s team reacts, having a goal by Cristante canceled out in the 20th minute due to offside and finding the equalizer in the 46th minute with Aouar.
At the start of the second half in the 51st minute, Roma had an opportunity with Walukiewicz who fortuitously deflected towards his goal but Caprile did well to avoid the goal. Roma also found the goal on the counterattack with El Shaarawy but the goal was disallowed for offside. Empoli continues to attack, comes close to taking the lead again with Cancellieri and in the 93rd minute finds the saving goal with Niang who is in the right place at the right time and makes no mistakes in front of Svilar. He scores the 2-1 and saves the Tuscans.
