The Italians judged the Poles. Drągowski delighted, another disappointed. Failed debut

On Saturday, Empoli drew Spezia 2-2 in dramatic circumstances, despite being two goals down with twenty minutes left. Emanuel Vignato scored the winning goal for the hosts in the 94th minute. Three Poles – Bartłomiej Drągowski, Przemysław Wi¶niewski and Arkadiusz Reca played the whole match in the colors of the guests.

Drągowski with a good performance, despite the lost goals and points. Wiśniewski with blame for Caputo’s goal

The worst performer was Wiśniewski, who in January exchanged Venezia for Spezia for EUR 4 million. In the new club, he is to replace another Pole, Jakub Kiwior, who moved to Arsenal. With Empoli, the 24-year-old made his first start in the starting lineup and the Italian press has reservations about his game. La Gazzeta dello Sport rated him 5.5 out of 10. Only Salvatore Esposito, who was sent off for two yellow cards, received a lower score. – It was after his header that Parisi (an Empoli player who was also sent off – editor’s note) got a red card, but he behaved too naively at the goal at 1: 2, allowing Caputo to escape – reviews the Italian daily.

The performance of Bartłomiej Drągowski and Arkadiusz Recy was rated a step higher, at 6.5. In the case of the left-hander, a lot of activity in the first half was emphasized, but also its decline in the second. The Polish goalkeeper, on the other hand, earned his note mainly with the intervention after Caputo’s head shot, although he made several other successful saves. If not for the lost goal and points in the end, his rating would probably be higher. Drągowski’s good disposition in this meeting is also emphasized by “La Repubblica”.

The draw took Spezia away from the relegation zone by an extra point. At the moment, they are five points behind the 18th Hellas, but the team from Verona will play their 22nd match on Monday. Their rival will be Salernitana, a team that is also involved in the relegation game.
