Tino Anjorin shone in his first start for Empoli, setting up the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Cagliari. The victory marks Empoli’s fifth consecutive undefeated match, their best start to a Serie A season. Meanwhile, Torino climbed to the top of the league table with a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Verona, despite playing most of the game with 10 men.
Empoli, a Serie A club, issued an apology for the dreadful condition of the pitch at their Stadio Carlo Castellani during their season opener against Monza. The poor pitch quality drew more attention than the match itself, which ended in a goalless draw. The club attributed the issue to high activity between seasons, stating that they couldn’t adequately prepare the turf in time. They have assured fans that the pitch will be in perfect condition for their upcoming match against Juventus.
