VINCI – A prestigious and very important victory in terms of salvation for the Empoli Primavera, who narrowly defeated Milan of the Cerretese Guidi at the Petroio Sports Center on the 33rd day of the championship. A success that came at the end of a balanced match, decided at the end of the first half by a goal from Popov (in the photo by Empoli Fc). Following a corner, the Ukrainian striker was good at heading in a previous aerial effort by Falcusan that hit the crossbar. In the second half, Milan poured forward in search of an equalizer to get closer to the play-off zone, but the Azzurri defense held firm without conceding any particular opportunities. In fact, it was the Azzurrini who came very close to doubling their lead with Gravelo on an assist from Popov himself.
