Let's give our votes to the protagonists on the pitch to understand the progress of the match.

Fiorentina report cards

David DE GEA 6 – He is not to blame for the two goals conceded well angled to his right. He kept the team alive until the final whistle with careful exits and the save on Lovric's free kick in added time.

Michael KAYODE 5 – He shows very little up front, his accuracy in crosses and long balls is a horrible 0%.

Pietro COMUZZO 6 – A particularly felt challenge for the class of 2005 given their Friulian origins. In general he makes no demerits and saves a possible trio for Udinese with a sliding intervention.

Luca RANIERI 5 – He duels hard in the air and in the area with Lucca, blocking the goal several times. But the horror in the approach that leads to the provisional peer is a very serious stain.

Robin GOSENS 5,5 – Little understanding with Sottil on the wing and not very sharp in the offensive phase.

From 86' Fabiano PARISI sv – Not judgeable

Danilo CATALDI 6.5 – Among the few starters to survive even in the second half, he runs a lot and some of his intuitions split the defense in two.

Yacine ADLI 6 – An attentive match although without any particular flashes, despite his particular moment of form. However, he touches many balls before being replaced.

From the 62nd minute Rolando MANDRAGORA 6.5 – Enter with the right attitude: a couple of deep throws, one of these creates perhaps the best opportunity to put the result back on equal footing.

Andrea COLPANI 6 – He moves well, has some opportunities in the area but never really intimidates.

Dal 70' Jonathan IKONÉ 6 – A great opportunity at their own feet, but the opposing goalkeeper is careful.

Lucas BELTRAN 5 – Among those in front he is the least flashy: never a shot, never a cross, never a dribble towards the opponent's goal.

Dal 62' Albert GUDMUNDSSON 6 – Used mainly by the flag in the final assault, where it was always quite precise.

Riccardo SOTTIL 6.5 – Among the most proactive from the start, so much so that he earned the penalty after eight minutes. But in the second half it drops and is no longer scary.

Dal 70' Christian KOUAMÉ 6 – Apart from a naive warning, he is good at jumping the goalkeeper with his head. It's a shame that Kean doesn't materialize the goal of the possible final equalizer.

Moise KEAN 5,5 – Complicated judgement, but the goal from the penalty spot which is worth double figures in the league scoring charts cannot hide the many wasted opportunities, especially in a submissive second half. And before the break it could have already been a double.

All. Raffaele PALLADINO 5,5 – There is the feeling that Fiorentina felt satisfied after the lead, which came early, and when they seemed to dominate in the first twenty minutes. It couldn't handle the sudden change in inertia and became disunited at the front. Party ruined on the evening in which he formally embraced Bove again, sitting next to the coach on the bench.

Udinese's report cards

Razvan SAVA 6 – Makes up for a lack of attention in the first half that risks costing a high price, with the decisive save on Ikoné in the final. He doesn't inspire great confidence between the posts, but in the end he can achieve his goal.

Thomas KRISTENSEN 6 – His rocky defense in the final minutes saved a terrible first half, in which he caused the penalty that gave Fiorentina the lead (postcard of an Udinese team that entered the game late). In essence, as for the teammate in goal, sufficiency is partly a consequence of the final result, vice versa his performance.

Christian KABASELE 6,5 – Among the most attentive from the 1st minute, he even acts as a tower for Lucca in the Friulians' only real scoring opportunity before the break.

Isaak TOURÉ 5 – He is never able to stem the Viola's attack from his area of ​​competence, taken at half-time.

Dal 46' James ABANKWAH 6 – Closes the gap left by Touré in the first half without needing to exceed.

Kingsley EHIZIBUE 5,5 – He passes Sottil on his wing from the first moments, in front he sees himself for only one opportunity in the area kicked out of a quite inviting position.

From 87' RUI MODESTO sv – Not judgeable.

LOVRIC cipher 6.5 – The first to give his team a shock in attack, the last to scare the opponent's goal with a stone from a free kick in added time. He has the merit of starting the action of the decisive goal with the run and the opening for Thauvin.

Jesper KARLSTRÖM 6.5 – Gives order to the Juventus midfield, even in the most difficult moments.

Jurgen EKKELENKAMP 6 – He was ready at the right time, receiving Ranieri's gift in the purple area and providing the assist for Lucca's momentary equalizer.

Dal 67' Arthur ATTA 6 – After a shocking start in which he lost a potentially bloody ball, he recovered, giving consistency to the attack even after the advantage gained. In essence, it summarizes the overall performance of the entire team in less than half an hour.

Jordan ZEMURA 6 – Late in the offensive phase, but is very aggressive in defense (even receiving a yellow), regaining possession which leads to the 1-2.

Florian THAUVIN 7 – Performance of a true captain and a true number 10, he seals an unexpected comeback with his left foot, leading the Friulians to victory. Second consecutive match to score.

Dall'87' Iker BRAVO St – Not judgeable.

Lorenzo LUCCA 6.5 – Harnessed in the first 45 minutes, he unblocked himself in the second half by stamping at the first good opportunity and unleashing a bicycle kick, where only the post denied him a stunning double. Second goal in three games and an attacking duo finally working together.

All. Kosta RUNJAIC 6,5 – In less than ten minutes he redeems a horror first half and turns the situation around. A signal was needed at half-time and it arrived with the change, plus the probable scolding in the locker room.
