Zanoli could have opened the scoring already in the first quarter of an hour, but he sent the ball high above from a good position in the box. Subsequently, Empoli got into the game, Liam Henderson and Tomasso Baldanzi missed the goal shortly after. In the 34th minute, the bottom team of the table was given the lead by defender Zanoli. The shot from the volley did not fit him perfectly, but the ball bounced off the ground exactly to the post.
In the second half, Empoli kept the ball and tried to push the Genoa footballers, but with a lot of inaccurate passes, they were depriving themselves of promising shooting positions. Piccoli had the only shot on goal after the change of sides in the third minute of the set-up, whose attempt slipped behind the Sampdoria goalkeeper and deprived the home team of the opportunity to claim their fourth win of the season.
