Napoli living a nightmare losing the Serie A Week 34 game against Empoli on Sunday 24 April 2022 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy.  Napoli suffered amnesia for 7 minutes while Empoli after being down by two goals scored 3 goals in 7 minutes.   Empoli crushed Napoli’s hope slowing down their race for the Scudetto.  Empoli celebrating this important home victory, previously, without a victory in their previous 16 league games before Napoli’s visit. Three gold points and pure heart.

Simply put, the party at the Castellani is all for Empoli fans delighted with this prestigious victory believing until the end. Napoli took a 0-2 lead up to 80 minutes thanks to goals from Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne. Then, the “amnesia moment,” with Liam Henderson shortens the distance in the 80th minute due to a mistake by Malcuit, Napoli goes into difficulty and suffers the pressure of Empoli. In the 83rd minute, Andrea Pinamonti defeated goalkeeper Meret and amazingly “an inspiring moment for Pinamonti” scoring the winning goal after four minutes in the 87th minute. Napoli crumbled! Is there an explanation for this defeat? Just Empoli’s hunger for victory.

The hero Andrea Pinamonti with an arrow direct to Napoli’s heart.
