First fraction of the Tuscan brand, one-way, with Empoli that could spread and finish the game prematurely. But as often happens, when the game is not closed, the opponent returns. And so it was. The second half is for Venezia, who replies and brings home a draw, thanks also to the essential contribution of the new signing Nani, immediately decisive with his quality. Empoli goes on in the 26th minute against an impalpable Venice that never projects itself in attack if not in three, sterile, occasions. The two teams show up at the reworked starting line. The Venezia, with four positive covid, find themselves without players available on the defensive flanks, forcing Ampadu to adapt to the right and Molinaro to overtime on the left. In addition to Mazzocchi and Haps, Romero and Johnsen are also missing. Empoli shows deficiencies in defense, with Fiamozzi adapted to the left and Luperto absent due to muscle problems, even the central Tonelli does not stand out for his condition. The Tuscans crush the lagoon in their own half for the entire first portion of the game, with the lions unable to build anything suffering from the organization of Empoli. In fact, coach Paolo Zanetti was forced to make a double change already in the 34th minute, removing Tessmann and Kyine for Vacca and Okereke. In the final ten minutes something moves, but it is still too little to counter the game between Empoli’s lines. The goal that decides the first fraction is by Zurkowski: cross from the left by Bandinelli, the number 27 from Empoli arrives who on the fly punishes Lezzerini, who up to that moment had tried to do everything possible to keep Venice safe. The second half instead sees the lagoons enter the field a little more convinced, while Empoli appears to be renouncing and frightened. The goal in the 29th minute with a percussion by Nani, which sees Aramu, the playmaker responds to one-two, the Portuguese sees Okereke beating Vicario. Controversy on the occasion of the home team’s goal because Zurkowski was on the ground at the edge of the area, but the referee did not stop the game. Among the notes of color, the Tuscan goalkeeper Vicario, formerly of Venice, was greeted by the applause of the curve, which he did not fail to remember with a bomber chorus Francesco Forte, who was sold to Benevento. It is also curious how Empoli did not have any fans in tow.
