Three victories and one defeat is the balance of the Empoli youth team. Let's start fromUnder 18 of mister Sarlo, who conquers Lecce 2-1 in a comeback thanks to Monaco's brace. Empoli thus rises to 39 points, seven points away from the play-off zone with six games still to play. Everything is then easy for Tonelli's 2008 class and for theUnder 15 by Lo Russo, both victorious by 5-1. Let's start from theUnder 17, which overwhelmed Catanzaro at the Monteboro Sports Center. The game was immediately downhill for the Azzurrini, who at the 7th minute were already ahead by one goal and one man, as Salvatore was sent off and Bagordo converted the subsequent penalty. The other goals were by Zanaga, Busiello (in the photo by Empoli Fc) and the substitutes Rovetini and Pellegrini, after the Calabrians had closed the gap. Empoli thus drew level with Roma at the top of the table at 49 points. The Under 15s had the same score, with Lecce, thanks to doubles by Misciagna and Cangiano and a goal by Di Pede. Empoli remains fourth with 39 points. The only defeat of the day came as a surprise for the league leaders Under 16 of mister Polverini, who loses 2-1 at home, again against Lecce, third from bottom. The decisive double by Persano in the space of three minutes between the 14th and 17th minutes.
