Seria A: Napoli Suffer Defeat At Empoli

Napoli's hopes of squeezing into the Champions League suffered another setback on Saturday when they slumped to a 1-0 loss at struggling Empoli in Serie A.

Alberto Cerri scored the only goal of the game after just four minutes when he rose unchallenged to head in at the back post.

It was his first top-flight goal in three years.
Empoli could have had a second goal later in the opening period but Nicolo Cambiaghi's powerful drive came back off the post.

The result left defending champions Napoli in eighth place, six points behind Roma who currently occupy the fifth and final qualifying spot for next season's Champions League.
