Empoli secured a victory in their Serie A Week 11 match against Como on Monday, November 4, 2024, at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. This marks their third win of the Serie A Enilive 2024-25 season, allowing them to leapfrog Roma and rise to 11th place in the standings with 14 points. Additionally, they achieved their fifth clean sheet of the season. On the other hand, Como, managed by Fabregas, faced their sixth defeat, which further drags them into the relegation zone, especially after Genoa’s simultaneous 1-0 win over Parma.

In the 47th minute, Empoli took the lead as Pietro Pellegri scored with a well-placed right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Gyasi initiated a throw, but Moreno intercepted with a header that landed at the feet of Pellegri. He skillfully evaded Barba and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that Reina couldn’t stop at the far post. Dossena’s sliding tackle also made a significant impact with a vital deflection.

Stats before the game

Empoli has managed to remain unbeaten in five out of their six Serie A encounters with Como, recording two wins and three draws. Their sole victory against Como in this league dates back to November 22, 1987, when they triumphed 3-2 at Sinigaglia. In their three Serie A home matches against Como, Empoli has drawn each time, including their most recent clash in the league, which ended in a 0-0 stalemate on February 2, 2003. This season, Empoli has yet to find the back of the net in their five home games, and they could potentially make history by being the first team to go six home matches without conceding a goal in Serie A.
