Empoli won the Coppa Italia Quarterfinals on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at the Allianz Stadium in Empoli, Italy. What an incredible night at the Allianz Stadium!  Empoli has made history by reaching the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the very first time!

This achievement is well-deserved for Roberto D’Aversa’s team, who took the lead in the first half. Although Thuram worked his magic to equalize, Juventus pushed hard for the lead but couldn’t break through Empoli’s solid defense. They even faced the threat of conceding again during counterattacks from the visitors. The match went to penalties, where Vlahovic and Yildiz missed their shots, but every Empoli player found the net. The winning penalty was scored by Marianucci, sealing a memorable evening for Empoli!

This marks Empoli’s third appearance in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, having previously defeated Catanzaro, Torino, and Fiorentina to get here. Meanwhile, Juventus is living a nightmare after recent Champions League exit and now losing the Coppa Italia.

The match…

Empoli struck first in the 24th minute when Youssef Maleh found the back of the net with a powerful right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Jacopo Bacci. It was a stunning moment for the Tuscans as Maleh unleashed a rocket from the edge of the box, leaving goalkeeper Mattia Perin with no chance as the ball sailed into the corner!

Juventus leveled the score at 1-1 in the 66th minute when Khéphren Thuram found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. Randal Kolo Muani provided the assist. It was an impressive goal from the French midfielder, who executed a brilliant maneuver to outsmart Henderson near the edge of the area and then beat Vasquez at the near post!

Stats before the game

The only time Juventus and Empoli faced each other in the Coppa Italia dates back to 2007/08, when in the round of 16 the Bianconeri won with an overall score of 6-5 (2-1 for the Tuscans in the first leg and 5-3 in favor of the Old Lady in the return leg).

Juventus have lost only one of their 17 home games against Empoli in all competitions (14W, 2D): 1-0 in Serie A, on 28 August 2021 (decisive goal by Leonardo Mancuso).
Juventus have advanced once they have reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia in each of the last five editions (from 2019/20 to 2023/24): the last time the Bianconeri were eliminated in the quarter-finals dates back to the 2018/19 season (3-0 defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta).

Juventus have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Coppa Italia games, including the two most recent (against Atalanta and Cagliari); the Bianconeri have not kept more consecutive clean sheets in the competition since May 2017 and January 2019 (seven in that case, with Massimiliano Allegri on the bench).
Juventus are the team that has reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals the most times overall: 36 so far in 77 previous editions of the competition (at least seven more than any other team – Inter follow with 29).

Empoli were eliminated the last time they participated in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, losing 4-0 on aggregate to Inter in the 2006/07 edition (2-0 for the Nerazzurri in both the first and second legs). The Tuscan team could become the 41st different team to reach the penultimate act of the competition.
