Empoli saw their goal ruled offside, while Frosinone forced several saves, but the 0-0 draw does little for either team.

This was a massive fixture, as both teams were locked together on 31 points along with Verona, just two clear of the drop zone. The hosts missed Sebastian Walukiewicz, Alberto Cerri, Tyronne Ebuehi and Etrit Berisha. The Canarini were without Stefano Turati, Anthony Oyono, Mateus Lusuardi and Sergio Kalaj, plus Caleb Okoli struggling with a knee problem.

Elia Caprile fingertipped a Luca Mazzitelli scorcher over the bar in the opening minutes, while Empoli had the ball in the net on 20 minutes when Emmanuel Gyasi fired in the rebound from a parried Alberto Grassi shot, but he was in an offside position.

Walid Cheddira twice tested Caprile from the edge of the area, one with a low drive, a tougher save on his powerful curler.

Razvan Marin drilled just wide of the near post with a deflection, while Bartosz Bereszynski made a decisive block on Cheddira’s back-heel flick from six yards, set up by Marco Brescianini.

Ciccio Caputo fired onto the frame of the goal from close range in the final minutes, but his blushes were spared by the offside flag.
