MILAN — Empoli dominated but was held to a 0-0 draw at home to Torino as it stretched its unbeaten run to five Serie A matches on Monday.
Both sides are struggling at the foot of the table, with Torino a point off the bottom three, two points behind promoted side Empoli.
Empoli almost took an early lead but Matias Vecino sent a 30-yard effort just wide of the top corner and Simone Verdi’s free kick was palmed round the upright by Jean-Francois Gillet.
Empoli had Torino pegged back in its own half for much of the second period but Gillet was in fine form.
Torino defender Pontus Jansson was sent off after a second booking in the final minute.
Chievo Verona hosts Inter Milan later.
