Fiorentina kicks off its season with its debut in an official competition, facing the playoff that grants access to the next edition of the Conference League.
Pioli's team, at the end of the 1st half, leads by two goals. Almost at the whistle of the first half, an incident forces the team to play the second half with a numerical disadvantage, with Moise Kean as the protagonist.
๐ฅ Kean, straight red for reaction
At minute 44 Moise Kean loses his head after a contact with Sarapii: the Polissya defender provokes him by pulling his hair and the Italian striker reacts with a violent swing that hits him in the back. The referee has no hesitation and shows the direct red card.
The Fiorentina bench protests erupt, convinced that the Ukrainian player also deserved the card for the unsporting gesture. An ugly incident to see, which leaves Fiorentina with a numerical disadvantage and some doubts about the referee's judgment (along with the VAR) towards Sarapii.
⚽⚽ Own Goal+Gosens, Viola ahead by two
Fiorentina unlocks the match already at the 8th minute with a flicker from Kean: the striker receives on the three-quarters, widens to the left, wins a contrast and returns on the right. His conclusion from outside hits the post, bounces on Kudryk's back and ends up in the net, with a bit of luck that rewards the stubbornness of the Viola's number 9.
Shortly after, at the 32nd minute, the doubling comes: Kean breaks through on the right and puts a poisonous cross in the area, Gudmundsson only touches but on the second post Gosens appears. The German controls with coolness and releases a right under the crossbar, closing a perfect choral action.
๐คฏ De Gea #1: what a save he made!
At the 23rd minute, De Gea confirms himself to be among the best goalkeepers around, with a truly miraculous save.
Andryievskiy draws a perfect cross in the area for Filippov's head, who escapes Pongraฤiฤ and hits on the run directing the ball to the corner. It seems like a done goal, but De Gea stretches out with an extraordinary reflex and flies to deflect saving the Viola's goal.
