Having lost in the match of the 38th round of the Italian championship in Palermo, Empoli left the elite division.
Initially, it seemed that Croton had no chance of maintaining a residence permit in Serie A, because the Sharks had to fight with Lazio, who certainly will be stronger than Palermo, on a visit to which Empoli. In addition, it should not be forgotten that Croton had one point less than a competitor.
However, the Sharks very quickly demonstrated that there is no authority for them in the battle for survival, and a quarter of an hour later, as Lazio was in the role of recouping, and soon losing two balls! True, one ball from the penalty Immobil played, but at the end of the half Bashtush gave a serious head start to the hosts - earned the second yellow card account and left the field.
Meanwhile in Palermo everything was not so dashing and fun as in Crotone. The hosts built an echeloned defense, and the guests could not understand how to find holes in it.
After the first half, Croton kept a residence permit in Serie A, and Empoli went on a run. But both teams had to spend at least 45 minutes.
And after the break, applicants for a place in the elite clearly demonstrated who of the more wants and is more worthy of registration in Serie A. Croton scored the third goal in the goal of Lazio, and Empoli could not hold even a draw in Sicily, and together with the hosts in the next season will strengthen Serie B.
Probably, this outcome is fair, because it would be very disappointing if those who committed such a heroic jerk at the finish of the Shark eventually drowned.
