Empoli FC pulled off a significant 2-1 victory against AS Roma in their Serie A match, with Emmanuel Gyasi playing a crucial role at the Stadio Olimpico. The former Ghanaian forward opened the scoring just before halftime, finishing a well-placed tap-in after a flick from Colombo following a Giuseppe Pezzella cross.

Empoli extended their lead in the second half when Sebastiano Esposito won a penalty, which Colombo confidently converted, sending the ball into the roof of the net. Despite AS Roma’s late push, with Eldor Shomurodov scoring a header in the 80th minute, Empoli held on to secure the win.

Gyasi’s outstanding performance earned him the Man of the Match award, highlighting his importance to the team. This victory marks a strong start to the season for Empoli, who will aim to build on this momentum.
