A silent protest opened the match between Empoli and Napoli today: the Neapolitan ultras decided to delay the start of their cheering as a sign of dissent towards the team for its recent largely disappointing performances. The chants and cheering began 15 minutes after the kick-off.
Despite everything, at Castellani there is a strong presence of Neapolitan fans in the Curva Sud, the sector dedicated to guests. At 4' the home team took the lead with a header from Cerri that made the over 12 thousand Tuscan supporters present at the facility cheer.
Despite the support of their supporters, Napoli struggled to assert their presence on the pitch, while the Empoli ultras celebrated their team's lead. The first half ended like this, 1-0 for Nicola's men with the Azzurri in great difficulty.
