Empoli, 14th with 37 points and a negative goal difference of -21
Salernitana, 17th position with 30 points and a negative goal difference of -41
Empoli played their last home game ending the Serie A Week 37 game with a draw on Saturday 14 May 2022 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Salernitana loses a great opportunity to put a mortgage on the salvation race and now remains at the mercy of the results of Cagliari and Genoa, respectively against Inter and Napoli.
In Salerno, they are hoping for the Nerazzurri’s remaining scudetto hopes. Empoli remain in 14th place at 38 points, but they do honor again this afternoon against a team determined to reach a goal. An exciting draw at Castellani, with Salernitana who manage to equalize the disadvantage of the first half, after numerous miracles by goalkeeper Vicario and, in the final phase of the match, they waste the ball of victory with Diego Perotti, who gets a penalty kick saved.
In the next and last round, Empoli will travel to Bergamo to face Atalanta, while Salernitana will host Udinese on their pitch.
Empoli opened the score in the 31st minute. Patrick Cutrone defeated Salernitana goalkeeper Sepe with a right footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Kristjan Asllani. Curiously, Patrick Cutrone’s three Serie A goals this season have been scored against teams from Campania: against Salernitana today and in the reverse fixture and against Napoli.

Salernitana equalized for the 1-1 in the 76th minute. It is Federico Bonazzoli to level the situation defeating goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from very close range with a left-footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Ivan Radovanovic following a corner conceded by Vicario. Bonazzoli scored his 10th goal this season and is the 3rd player to reach the double figures of goals in a single Serie A season in the history of Salernitana, after Marco Di Vaio (12 goals in 1998/99) and Renzo Merlin ( 10 in 1947/48).
3.1 – Today Guglielmo Vicario conceded a goal, while, according to the Expected Goals model, he should have conceded 4.1 with Salernitana’s shots on target; the difference of 3.1 is the highest for a goalkeeper in a Serie A game this season. Miraculous.#EmpoliSalernitana pic.twitter.com/PSAsNlQPbl

Vicario saved a penalty denying Salernitana taking the victory. In the 84th minute, Diego Perotti failed to convert the penalty because there was a hero on the pitch to save the penalty delighting his home fans at the Castellani goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
