Pisa 1–1 Empoli

Penalties settled it, and nerves did the rest. Pisa and Empoli played out a tense 1-1 draw in the Coppa Italia before the tie spilled into a shootout that neither side could clinch in regulation. T. Marras gave Pisa the lead just before the break, striking in the 44th minute to send the home crowd into the half-time interval buzzing. Empoli answered with purpose: E. Saporiti equalised on the hour mark to drag his side level and force the question neither team could answer over the remaining 30 minutes. With the Coppa Italia offering no extra time to spare feelings, the shootout became the only judge. Every converted kick, every saved or missed penalty rewrote the outcome of a match that 90 minutes alone refused to decide. Watch the spot-kicks land to find out which Tuscan club advances.
