Verona Empoli 1-1 CHRONICLE
Slovenian Petar Stojanovic sends Verona to hell. Gaich's goal brought Verona one step closer to safety, but the diagonal right of the newcomer Empoli silenced Bentegodi and signed a draw that serves Hellas only to support Spezia in view of the final 90 minutes. In the final round Verona will visit Milan, Spezia will be on stage at the Olimpico against Roma.
Empoli must give up Caputo, who even goes to the stands for a feverish attack in the night. The young Cacace, Casiraghi and Fazzini play with Piccoli, former on duty, the only tip. Verona also chooses the green line, inside Sulemana, Cabal and Terracciano. In attack Djuric is supported only by Ngonge. First half of great balance, with a Verona that plays contract and struggles to produce play. Better Empoli, able to hurt when it starts again. Cacace is walled up by Montipò, Cabal risks red for a high elbow entry on Ebuehei, Ngonge has a couple of good opportunities but right does not frame the goal and head finds Vicario always well positioned. Verona must change pace, but the technical poverty of the Venetians' maneuver is evident. The only solution is the high ball for Djuric who has to spizza, but on the second balls Empoli always has the best. At the start of the second half it was Empoli who had a great opportunity but from a few meters Ebuehei failed, crushing his head to the ground with the ball flying over the crossbar. The tactical choice of the Zaffaroni-Bocchetti duo pays off immediately. At the quarter of an hour inside Gaich and Pharaohs, with the Argentine going alongside Djuric. A few seconds pass and Verona takes the lead. Poisonous left from the edge of Ngonge, rejects short Vicario, Gaich is the quickest in the winning tap-in. The game is now more fun, Cambiaghi almost equalizes with a nice round shot, Gaich baskets from a good position the doubling. And the ball arrives in the recovery: great right of Henderson, Montipò rejects with closed fists. Verona is at the fruit and right on the credits comes the draw, which is the fairest result. Stojanovic's diagonal in the 96th minute left no way out for Montipò, Bentegodi dumbfounded. And now everything is decided, for Verona, at San Siro against the Rossoneri.
