Empoli vs Atalanta 1-4: La Dea Warm Up for Man United Clash in Exciting Fashion
At the Stadio Carlo Castellani in Tuscany, Empoli hosted Atalanta on Sunday afternoon. Josip Ilicic put the Orobici on the right track with a first half brace, but the home side pulled one back before the end of the half. Nonetheless, an early own goal in the second period restored La Dea's lead, and Duvan Zapata's late strike sealed a 4-1 win for the Bergamo-side.
