Empoli Upsets Roma 7-0 in Serie A Upset
Historic Victory for Empoli
Rome, Italy
In a stunning turn of events, Empoli pulled off a remarkable 7-0 upset victory over AS Roma in their Serie A match on Sunday. The match was initially postponed to Monday due to heavy rainfall, but the postponement did little to dampen Empoli's spirits.
Empoli, who had only won one of their first three matches of the season, came out firing on all cylinders. They took an early lead through a goal from Alessio Cherubini in the 74th minute and never looked back.
Roma, on the other hand, were left shell-shocked. The defending Serie A champions had been expected to cruise to victory against the newly promoted side, but they were outplayed in every aspect of the game.
The result was a major setback for Roma, who have now lost two of their first four matches of the season. Empoli, meanwhile, climbed to 13th place in the Serie A standings with the victory.
