In a game marked by protests from Napoli fans, the current Italian champion was defeated by Empoli at the Carlo Castellani stadium, in the Tuscany region, in a duel valid for the 33rd round of Serie A.
As has been happening for a long time, the Azzurri did not play a good game and were beaten 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Alberto Cerri, just four minutes into the game.
The most curious thing is that the 28-year-old striker has not scored a goal in the top division of Italian football since 2021.
Unhappy with the poor performance in the current season, Napoli fans who traveled to Empoli left the visitors’ section empty for around 15 minutes, so much so that they didn’t even see the winning goal.
When the four thousand fans entered the stadium, they began chanting insults at the athletes and the club president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who watched the match. Brazilian defenders Juan Jesus and Natan did not escape criticism.
Napoli remained in eighth place, with 49 points, and only won one match in the last six rounds, which made it difficult in the fight for continental competitions. On the other hand, Empoli reached 31 and added valuable points to avoid relegation, momentarily opening four points ahead of Frosinone. .
