In the match that should have brought redemption, Cagliari played a colorless game against a well-organized Empoli, being beaten 0-2. The Tuscans capitalized on a general slumber, taking the lead after half an hour with Colombo and doubling at the start of the second half with Esposito. At the end of the match, the team and coach were contested, and for this reason it was decided to retreat until the match against Parma. Meanwhile, president Giulini confirmed his confidence in Nicola: “I’m sorry but I don’t see the gears rotten: forward with this group”
