Empoli clarifies: "No Napoli fans kicked out of the stands after Kvara's goal"

Napoli's winning goal scored by Kvaratskhelia from a penalty spot brought out some moments of tension at the Carlo Castellani stadium in Empoli.

According to the accounts of those present in the upper grandstand, the intervention of the stewards was necessary to calm down a man, a Napoli fan. And on this fact Empoli wanted to clarify because some reconstructions spoke of the removal of this person from the grandstand, where he was in the company of his little daughter.

“With regard to fanciful reconstructions that appeared on the web after the match against Napoli, in order to protect his own respectability and that of president Fabrizio Corsi, he would like to point out that no one was removed from the stadium”.

“Following the goal of Naples, the security service of Empoli Football Club – explains the company's note – intervened as per practice to calm an argument between some spectators present. At the same time, we reiterate that no person was removed from their seat or from the stadium, with the management of the Azzurri collaborating to bring the situation back to normal.

The club has always stood out for its strong sense of hospitality and welcome towards visiting fans – continues the Empoli note – and does not want or accept that its image be tarnished by reconstructions devoid of any foundation. To this end, Empoli Football Club has instructed its lawyers to evaluate the appropriate actions to protect its name”.
