In the much-anticipated first round match of the Italian top league, Empoli hosted the challenge of the promoted Monza. The match was not only a test of the two teams' new season form, but also the debut of their players in the top league. After 90 minutes of fierce competition, both teams failed to make a breakthrough in the opponent's goal, and finally shook hands with a 0-0 draw.
During the match, Empoli showed the tenacious fighting spirit and excellent defense ability of playing at home. They actively scrambled on the field, repeatedly using fast counterattack and side road passes to create threats, but faced with the tight defense system of Monza, they never found a good opportunity to break through the goal. Monza, as a promoted team, although there is a certain gap between them and Empoli in terms of strength and experience, they also showed good athleticism and team spirit. On the field, Monza players worked closely with each other, ran positively and tried to find attacking opportunities, which created a lot of trouble for Empoli's defense.
However, despite both teams' best efforts on the field, they were unable to break through each other's goal in the end. Empoli's goalkeeper played solidly, defusing many of Monza's threatening attacks; while Monza's defense also performed quite well, successfully resisting many of Empoli's attacks. Finally, with the referee's whistle, the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
