Francesco Caputo got over his previous jamming in the 20th minute and gave Empoli a 1-0 lead. Fiorentina tried to defend themselves, but acted erratically and at times disorientated. In the final phase, former FC Südtirol striker Emmanuel Gyasi scored to make the final score 2-0. Fiorentina, who have been so convincing to date, are missing out on catching up with third-placed Juventus and moving within two points of the top of the table.
