Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Torino, 11th position with 35 points and a negative goal difference of -1
Empoli, 18th position with 22 points and a negative goal difference of -22
Torino won the Serie A Week 29 match on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy. As it stands, Torino reaches 38 points, while Empoli is struggling in 18th place with just 22 points.
Torino secures three points after a challenging match. Empoli starts off stronger, displaying greater creativity than the home side in the first half. However, in the second half, Vanoli’s squad becomes more resilient and concentrated. Torino ultimately scoring the winning goal with a right-footed shot from Nikola Vlasic just twenty minutes before the final whistle. Despite their late efforts, the Tuscans are unable to equalize and remain in the relegation zone.
Empoli’s situation is delicate, their performance has collapsed after a good first half of the season. D’Aversa’s team is currently in third-last place and has brought home only two points in the last nine games
Turin is unbeaten in three games, coming off a 2-2 draw against Parma. Vanoli’s team wants to maintain their good performance at the Olimpico where the Granata have not lost since last December 21st
Torino gained the upper hand in the 71st minute. Nikola Vlasic found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. Ultimately, Toro broke the stalemate thanks to their number 10, who skillfully controlled the ball near the edge of the area, even under pressure from Marianucci, and placed it perfectly into the bottom corner!
