Match report

Joseph Ceesay put Empoli ahead in the 14th minute and Nicholas Rizzo levelled for Ascoli in the 26th, with Matteo Brunori providing the assist. That left it 1-1 at half-time and it stayed that way to the end.

Ascoli responded quickly and neither side found a winner after the break. Ascoli made two changes on 62 minutes, then two more on 63, with Brunori among those departing. Empoli also made two changes on 84 minutes, including Ceesay, who had scored their goal, but the scoreline did not move again.

Ascoli had 62% of the ball and 481 passes to Empoli's 290, while also finishing with 1.36 expected goals to 0.62. Empoli had more shots, 16 to 9, and more corners, 8 to 6, while both sides had 2 shots on target and 1 save.

There was one booking for each side. Luca Magnino was booked for Empoli on 90 minutes, and Abdoul Guiebre was booked for Ascoli in the second minute of stoppage time.
