Referee Sacchi (who had replaced Referee Marchetti in the 60th minute due to muscle problems) upgraded a yellow card given to Sebastiano Luperto in the 66th minute following a foul on Luka Jovic after consulting the VAR. Empoli resisted playing with 10 players.
Empoli ended with 9 players just towards the end in the 93rd minute. Empoli finished all changes, thus, Nicolò Cambiaghi had to abandon the pitch due to muscle problems.
