Serie A: Fiorentina-Juventus ends equal, one point each which does not shake the rankings

Juventus are unable to achieve a trio of victories after those achieved against Napoli and in the Europa League against Az Alkmaar: against Fiorentina they have to settle for a draw (2-2) after finding themselves behind twice, a result which bears the signatures of Woltemade and Bremer and does not allow them to turn their championship around, Luciano Spalletti's team goes into the break in seventh place, six points from the Champions League zone. The biggest regrets, however, are for the Viola who, despite taking the lead first with Pellegrino and then in the second half with Njie, were unable to achieve their first home victory in this tournament, a fast that has lasted for 7 months. Vanoli's team put in determination and hearts, amidst the applause of its fans, but the ranking remains disappointing: fifteenth with 9 points.

Juve showed up in Florence with something new compared to the indications on the eve of the match: Alajbegovic out, Boga in to form the trident with Kolo Muani and Woltemade. Two changes instead in Fiorentina compared to the team that found victory on the Sassuolo pitch on Monday: space for Oulai for the former Fagioli and Goncalves for Brescianini. Greeted by an evocative choreography in the purple corner, with the fans calling for 'eleven lions', the home team found the goal after just four minutes with Pellegrino heading a Goncalves corner. The Argentine striker, fourth in Serie A, celebrated like his idol, compatriot Gabriel Batistuta, by miming the grapeshot. Franchi exploded with joy but did not intimidate the Bianconeri who increased the pace as they approached the opponent's area: McKennie grazed the post, Cabal challenged De Gea twice, then in the half-hour Woltemade, served by Kolo Muani who was able to escape Viery's marking, equalized the score. A deserved result for what Juve had produced up until then, close to doubling their lead once again with the German centre-forward. Fiorentina attacked but without skidding and before the break they had a couple of chances with former player Joao Mario and Mastantuono. Intense and hard-fought race, in the name of the historic rivalry. The match was unblocked again at the beginning of the second half when Vanoli's team took the lead again following a tense cross from Jimenez which Njie pounced on in the melee for his third consecutive goal. Spalletti ran for cover and changed three by inserting Celik, Zhegrova and Alajbegovic for Cabal, Woltemade and Boga. Juve was shaken and shortly thereafter, while Vanoli replaced the applauded Oulai and Goncalves with Fagioli and Brescianini, they made a comeback with Bremer ready to anticipate Dragusin and take advantage of a clumsy exit from De Gea. 25th goal conceded by the Viola defense which has always been perforated since the start of the championship.

Convulsive final: Spalletti, target of offensive chants from the Viola corner, also played the Ekhator card (McKennie out), Vanoli saw Dragusin's possible 3-2 canceled out due to a contact with Bremer, both teams tried to overcome each other until the end, the Viola team involving Vicario with Brescianini and Mastantuono was more dangerous, but in the end the result was right despite a thousand regrets.
