90' 5 minutes of added time.
87' SAVA SAVES FROM IKONE'! Abankwah anticipates Kean at the edge of the area but due to a favorable rebound the ball lands at the feet of the Viola number 11 who shoots with confidence. The Romanian goalkeeper responds present.
86' Substitution also for Fiorentina: Gosens out and Parisi in.
85' Double substitution for Udinese: Ehizibue and Thauvin come out and Rui Modesto and Iker Bravo come on.
82' Ehizibue misses the target! Thauvin kisses the ball and puts the 19 in front of the goal. Kingsley shoots with all his strength but misses the target.
81' Kouame is booked for a foul from behind on Lovric who launched a counterattack.
78' Still just over ten minutes of suffering for Udinese.
75' WHICH SAVA COMBINED! Completely missed by the goalkeeper, Kouamè anticipates him and manages to serve Kean who, however, misses the target. It remains 1-2, but the Juventus goalkeeper had done a great job.
74' Sava is booked for wasting time.
71' A melee breaks out in the Fiorentina penalty area, the ball reaches Thauvin who takes a first-time shot with a sure shot: Ranieri in opposition is decisive.
70' Double substitution for Fiorentina: Colpani and Sottil come out and Kouame and Ikonè come on.
69' Mistake by Atta who misses the backward pass and launches Cataldi on the counterattack. The Viola midfielder serves Kean centrally who takes aim but sends the ball just wide.

65' Change for Udinese: Ekkelenkamp comes out and Atta comes on.
61' Double substitution for Fiorentina: Adli and Beltran out and Mandragora and Gudmundsson in.
56' UDINESE IN ADVANTAGE! MAGIC OF THAUVIN THAT CENTERS FROM THE RIGHT AND WITH THE LEFT AROUND WITH THE VIEWFINDER FINDS THE OPPOSITE CORNER. DE GEA CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
55' Fiorentina is back in attack, a valuable action from a technical point of view born from a good play by Adli. Colpani's shot was deflected for a corner providentially by Ekkelenkamp.
52' Third yellow card for Udinese, it's up to Ehizibue.
51' Udinese reborn! Cross from Lovric inside for Kristensen who acts as a buffer in the middle for Lucca. The class of 2000 has his back turned, raises the ball and hits the post with an overhead kick.

47' Immediately a yellow card for Udinese, this time it's Kristensen's turn. Not an unforgettable evening for the defender so far: it was he, in fact, who awarded the penalty in favor of Fiorentina.
46' The first substitution is for Udinese: Tourè comes out and Abankwah comes on.
46' Here we go again!
IMPRESSIONS AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF (click here to read them)
45'+4' The referee blows his whistle. The first half ends 1-0 for Fiorentina.
45'+2' Lucca with a header! Nice free-kick from Udinese with Lovric dishing it into the middle for Kabasele who acts as a tower and puts it in for the number 17 who isn't able to hit a good header. Ball coming out of the bottom.
45' 4 minutes of added time.
44' Kean wins the physical duel with Tourè and intelligently supports Colpani, whose shot is too weak to worry Sava. Two-half intervention by the Udinese goalkeeper.
43' Udinese tries to build but Fiorentina closes every space.
39' LOVRIC! The Slovenian talks from the right with Thauvin and centers himself to kick on goal with all the strength he has. Two meter high ball.
38' Zemura booked for a late foul on Gosens.
35' SCARE FOR UDINESE! Coming out of the bottom with a deficit for the Bianconeri with Sava serving Adli, the former Milan player found Kean alone in front of the goal and kept in play by Kristensen but Karlstrom made up for it by putting it in the corner.
32' Dangerous left-footed shot from Kean which is well placed inside the Udinese penalty area. Ball just wide.
28' He makes and undoes Ranieri in the space of thirty seconds. The defender recovers the ball, then extends it and risks a yellow intervention on an opponent, finally wins the rebound and even tries to surprise the Udinese goalkeeper with an unlikely lob from an impossible position. Beltran and Kean complain in the center of the area as they were well positioned.
26' However, Udinese is growing, as evidenced by a good personal initiative from Ehizibue who, having skipped Comuzzo, lets loose a dangerous cross on which Ranieri intervenes perfectly, removing the danger.
25' Everything is fine, after 120 seconds of stoppage we will restart from a lateral foul in favor of Fiorentina. Sigh of relief for Palladino's boys, but we didn't actually recognize any dubious situation.
24' On the occasion, Udinese had asked for a penalty kick for an alleged handball by Gosens on Lucca's header: the images certify that the Viola winger instead blocked the ball with his head. But VAR has been at work for almost two minutes, evidently there is some other situation considered to be at least dubious.
22' First shot on target by Udinese, Lovric tried from 20 meters with a high-quality volley: De Gea's intervention was perfect.
17' Fiorentina's monologue continues: nice play by Kean on the centre-right and the ball in the center for Colpani, whose header with a sure shot is deflected for a corner.
14' Udinese will have to shake off their torpor and organize themselves to react after a particularly negative start. The Juventus team is suffering from the prolonged dribbling and pace of a Fiorentina who managed to break the deadlock immediately thanks to Kean's penalty resulting from an excellent initiative from Sottil.
12' Fiorentina are playing a great match in these first 12 minutes, Colpani lights up the scene with a beautiful throw for Sottil. The guest goalkeeper's exit was decisive and courageous.
8' KEAN SPIAZZA SAVA. FIORENTINA LEAD 1-0.
7' Referee recalled. Penalty kick for Fiorentina.
5' – Sottil misses, questionable contact with Kristensen. For the referee there is nothing, however sending the Viola attacker into a rage, who is also booked for simulation. VAR check in progress.
4' – Runjaic's team dribbles from behind, for now there doesn't seem to be an intention to raise the pace too much.
2' – First treacherous cross from Fiorentina, Udinese manages well, then Toure sweeps.
1' – Off to the race!
