Serie A: Juventus and Fiorentina Share Points

Fiorentina Vs Juventus
Fiorentina comeback equals

Fiorentina's Rolando Mandragora scores a stunning equalizer against Juventus, ending 2-2. Third draw in a row for Juventus under Luciano Spalletti.


Fiorentina's Dodo went off with a muscular problem at half-time, but the team came back strong...


Rolando Mandragora's stunning goal cancelled out Filip Kostic's opener, leaving Juventus and Fiorentina deadlocked at 2-2. Fiorentina, who sacked Vincenzo Italiano, were still winless in Serie A under new boss Paolo Vanoli, who made his debut.


Juventus, who also parted ways with their coach, Igor Tudor, drew their third game in a row. Luciano Spalletti's side have struggled to win, with key players like Robin Gosens and Christian Kouame missing through injury.


There was controversy in the opening minutes when Vlahovic surprised Pablo Mari with a cheeky back-heel flick and turned to run into the box, going down for a penalty. However, the referee changed his mind following a VAR On-Field Review, noting that it was a mutual shirt tug if anything started by the Juventus striker.




Following this, the ugly discriminatory chants from sections of the Fiorentina ultras towards the Serbian intensified to the degree that the referee temporarily halted play while a statement was read out.


Moise Kean had a great chance to open the scoring, hitting a powerful shot that hit the underside of the crossbar. Fiorentina's Rolando Mandragora also had a chance, curling a free kick just wide. Vlahovic had a huge opportunity, turning Pablo Mari and going clear, but Marin Pongracic's defensive effort sent the ball wide for a corner.




Fiorentina's Dodo went off with a muscular problem at half-time, but the team came back strong, equalizing through Rolando Mandragora's stunning goal. He collected a loose ball and hit a powerful shot from distance, finding the top corner. The game was intense, with chances flying back and forth, including a Manuel Locatelli shot and a Di Gregorio save.


Fabio Miretti hit the side-netting on a Koopmeiners through ball and Francisco Conceicao’s angled drive was denied by a Pablo Mari block, before Weston McKennie’s header was acrobatically pushed over the bar by De Gea.


Juventus pushed more in the closing stages, but it was a third consecutive stalemate for Spalletti in all competition.
