Leće lost for a long time against Empoli at the "Via del Mare" stadium, in the end they reached a point that could hardly satisfy the team of our Nikola Krstović.

The "yellow-red" played 1:1, although in the last ten minutes - after Santiago Pierotti equalized - they had several great chances to turn the game around and get the very important three points.

Nikola Sansone rattled the crossbar from a free kick, and in the 87th, Krstović did the same with his head after a corner - the Montenegrin striker was not lucky in that situation, nor was he a few minutes later when he shot wide of the goal from over 20 meters.

It remained 1:1, Krstović tied the seventh game in a row in Serie A without a goal, and Leće continued to stumble - Luka Gotija's team scored only five goals in 12 rounds, by far the fewest in the league, so it is clear why they are currently in the zone falling out.

For Empoli (for which the scorer was Pietro Pellegri), this was the sixth away match in the championship - they have two triumphs, three draws, and the only defeat was against Lazio...
