[SERIE A] Empoli - Lazio = 1 - 3

After the summer holidays, the teams are ready to start a new championship.  The biancoceleste, led by Sarri and no longer by Inzaghi, will have to face Andreazzoli's group on their debut, fresh from promotion to A. Change form and changes also within the squad, new rules of play and only just tested in the retreat of Auronzo di Cadore and Marienfeld: the curiosity to see a Lazio that has redone its look is very high.

Empoli-Lazio took place at the Castellani Stadium, a match valid for the first day.  Positive start of the hosts, ahead with Bandinelli.  The biancoceleste exploited serious defensive misunderstandings to overturn the result, drawing immediately with Sergej Milinkovic from a corner.  Find the goal then Lazzari and Immobile on a penalty procured by Acerbi.  In the second half, Maurizio Sarri's men are good at keeping up with the pressure of Andreazzoli's team.  Ends 3-1 for Lazio: good first game.
