Inter – Empoli 2:0, Inter defeated Empoli in the Italian league, Bologna confirmed their form against Salernitana

Before the international break, after 10 wins, Inter lost points due to a draw with Napoli, but today they continued their winning streak again. In the fifth minute, fullback Dimarco scored with a quick volley and with his fifth goal of the league season he equaled his best goalscoring year of 2020/21, in which he still played for Verona.

Substitute Sánchez added the second goal in the 81st minute. Empoli failed to replicate last year’s surprise triumph at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and slipped into the relegation zone a score behind 17th-placed Frosinone.

Bologna took the lead after a quarter of an hour by Orsolini, who guided the ball to the left and hit the far post with a technical attack. In an almost identical way, Saelemaekers increased the score with a right-footed shot before the end of the half, and Lykojanis added the insurance in the end.

With eight rounds to go, Bologna holds the spot that ensures participation in the Champions League. The most prestigious European club competition was only played in the 1964/65 season in the then European Champions Cup.

AS Rome did not create a significant advantage against the thirteenth-ranked Lecce for the entire match, even losing 10:26 on shooting attempts. Nevertheless, “Wolves” were twice close to scoring, both Bove and Angelěno hit the post in the first half. Lecce didn’t concede in the second game under new coach Gotti either, following on from a 1-0 win over Salernitana from the previous round.

Verona played out a 1-1 rescue draw at Cagliari to remain in 15th place on points ahead of their rivals. The Czech midfielder of the home team, Jakub Jankto, who started in the starting line-up in the last five matches, spent the entire match on the bench.
