Slightly delayed but in more "football on holiday" reports, my son and I went to Roma vs Empoli on Sunday night. First home game of the season and a sell out, mainly due to Dybala turning down a move to Saudi and committing to another season. They love him, maybe 50% of the crowds wearing a Dybala shirt. This all lead to an absolutely cracking atmosphere at the start, which went steeply downhill over time as Empoli took a 2-0 lead which was definitely not in the script. Their No 10 Fazzini was superb in the classic No 10 role. Roma then managed to score and laid siege to Empoli goal, hit the woodwork twice in one move and then Dybala hit the inside of the post from 20 yards in the very last minute of injury time.... I and probably all other 70,000 people couldn't believe it didn't go in. Final score Roma 1 - 2 Empoli, first ever win at Roma in their entire history. Then walked about 4 miles back to our Air BnB as traffic was utterly fucked :)
10/10, superb entertainment. One tip if you ever go to a Serie A game, take ID. They checked our passports twice at two separate security cordons, including my son's, and proper checks as well, not just a glance.
