Empoli failed the mission to win the Serie A Week 35 game defeated by Torino on Sunday 1 May 2022 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Empoli surrender in nine, everything happens in the second half with many episodes evaluated by the VAR: Szymon Zurkowski signs the advantage then Verre gets expelled for a bad intervention, Andrea Belotti enters from the bench and decides the match with a hat-trick (two of which on penalties granted by Referee Cosso for handballs by Stojanovic, who was also sent off). Empoli were unbeaten in their nine Serie A home games against Torino (W3 D6), most recently a 4-1 win in May 2019 under Andreazzoli.
On the thirty-sixth day, Empoli will visit Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium while Torino will host Napoli at the Olimpico.
Empoli opened the score in the 56th minute. It is Szymon Zurkowski to defeat Torino goalkeeper with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Valerio Verre.
