After a dismal 5-0 defeat to Inter in the opening weekend, Torino's mood was somber. Despite still being without Ardian Ismajli, Zanos Savva, and Perr Schuurs, the team welcomed new signing Kristjan Asllani into the starting lineup.

Fiorentina had struggled to find their footing, being held 1-1 at Cagliari and then needing to come from behind to beat Polissya 3-2 in the Conference League qualifier. With Christian Kouame out, Roberto Piccoli was handed his debut following his move from Cagliari, adding to the team's reshuffle.

Cesare Casadei showcased his skills with a swift one-two pass with Giovanni Simeone, breaking into the box only to be thwarted by David De Gea's acrobatic save. De Gea's athleticism and quick reflexes allowed him to make the crucial stop.

Some big saves and a deserved Panini Player of the Match award for David De Gea 👏

In another notable moment, Dodo capitalized on Franco Israel's advanced position, attempting a delicate lob that sailed just over the empty net. Meanwhile, Moise Kean struggled to find his mark, blasting several shots from promising positions well off target. Despite both teams creating opportunities, neither could capitalize on their chances.

Giovanni Simeone, also known as “Cholito,” is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker. He's known for his goal-scoring abilities, both inside and outside the box, and has played for several teams, including Genoa, Fiorentina, Cagliari, and Hellas Verona. Cesare Casadei, on the other hand, is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Torino FC and the Italy national under-21 team.

Torino goalkeeper Franco Israel made a remarkable one-handed save to deny Fiorentina's Roberto Piccoli on 34 minutes. Piccoli had been sent clear by Simon Sohm's perfectly weighted through ball, leaving Israel no choice but to showcase his exceptional reflexes.

Pietro Comuzzo's half-volley from distance narrowly sailed wide of the far post, while David De Gea made a crucial smother to Cyril Ngonge's angled drive, keeping the scoreline deadlock at 0-0.

David De Gea made a vital save in the 41st minute, getting just enough on Giovanni Simeone's strike from a tight angle to turn it over. The chance came after good work from Ivan Ilic, who set Simeone up with a precise pass.

In the second half, Fiorentina handed youth team defender Eddy Kouadio his Serie A debut. Meanwhile, Moise Kean had penalty appeals rejected after colliding with Ilic, leaving Fiorentina frustrated over the missed opportunity.

Moise Kean narrowly avoided disaster when he somehow headed Robin Gosens' cross-shot off the line and over the bar from just a yard out. Fortunately for him, the whistle had already blown for a foul on Luca Ranieri, saving him from potential embarrassment.

Edin Dzeko made an immediate impact after coming on, helping the defense by nodding a Valentino Lazaro corner off the head of Guillermo Maripan. The experienced striker's presence proved valuable in a crucial defensive moment.
