*FWEEEEEEE*
The referee blew the whistle at 9:00 PM, and the game between Empoli started immediately after. The Juventus players were the ones to kick off the game. They sent their home fans into a frenzy of excitement and boundless expectations as they quickly settled into a comfortable rhythm of slow build-ups during the opening stages.
The Old Lady players continued passing the ball among their defenders and holding midfielders while trying to stretch Empoli's defensive shape. They didn't try to force anything and only arrayed themselves into their traditional 3-5-2 formation while hoarding most of the ball possession during the opening minutes.
