19 September 2021: Sampdoria take a stroll in Empoli and win for the first time in this championship.

D'Aversa enjoys the first two goals from Ciccio Caputo who, as a great ex, scores a brace, and witnesses the extraordinary performance of Candreva, author of the third goal, but also of an exceptional performance.

And Empoli?

After a very positive start, the Tuscan team disbanded after about twenty minutes and, apart from the away win against Juventus, Andreazzoli's team recorded three defeats out of three at Castellani.



A deserved 3-0 for the Sampdoria: the difference in values ​​was evident, even if the hosts had a very convincing approach. In particular at 2 'Mancuso had found, on an assist from Cutrone, a conclusion almost without fail: the superlative Audero saved by a meter and a half. Candreva was the best in the field and in the quarter of an hour he gives a sample of his class: in speed he leaves the Tuscan defense behind, jumps Stojanovic and defiled commits Vicario with his foot. Candreva always triggers the Altamura bomber: Samp steals the ball in the middle of the field and in the restart the winger brings the ball to the trocar serving Caputo with a cut in the center. The through ball is a gem for Caputo's left foot who slips Vicario.



Caputo spares himself the exultation out of respect for his former stadium. For the striker, who arrived on the last day of the transfer market from Sassuolo, it is the 50th goal of his career in Serie A and the 1st with Sampdoria. The Ligurians insist and always Caputo and then also Quagliarella still commit Vicar who avoids doubling. At 40 'Mancuso still touches the goal: Marchizza accelerates and crosses towards the area, Mancuso in the split fails to direct the ball into the mirror.



We go to the second half, but the trend does not change. Empoli is a little more attentive, but D'Aversa's guys are very hungry. Between an alternation of knocks of rain and a faint sun


Caputo is still the protagonist: first a crossbar hit from under the goal, then a personal action in the penalty area that leads to the doubling. Double the bomber who this time lets himself go to an exultation with 'his' drink of beer: we are at 7' of the second half when Bereszynski serves Caputo in the area, the left striker folds his hands to Vicario and puts the 0-2 . Empoli feel the blow. At 25 'Quagliarella widens for Candreva, the winger enters the area and with a right to turn beats Vicario with an impregnable shot at the far post.



Closed game. Andreazzoli tries to change something again by revolutionizing the attack. In the final Pinamonti, who took over from Mancuso, tries to score his first goal, but once Audero and then an unspecified conclusion deny him the goal of the flag. For the Tuscans, who will return to 'Castellani' against Bologna on Sunday, these are already two decisive matches for the future.
