Florence, 23 December 2024 – After a decent first half, which took the lead with a penalty from Kean, Fiorentina collapses at the beginning of the second half, is unable to recover and loses a race from which he hoped to win third place. Udinese wins and now we have to ask ourselves about this decline of a team that suffers its second consecutive defeat after Bologna.
The Viola's collapse in seven minutes was impressive: in the 50th minute Ranieri scores the equalizer with a sensational error in the area and Lucca scores; at 575' the Thauvin's doubling. In the middle, with the Viola in the boat, Lucca hit the post with an overhead kick.
Dragged by a excellent Thin in the first half (they got the penalty scored in the 8th minute by Kean) the Viola seemed to be able to control the match despite not playing well. In the second half Sottil disappears, Adli is a poor copy, Kean is imprecise, Kayode gets almost everything wrong, Comusso skids, Colpani has no impact. only Cataldi seems to have the energy to counter his opponents.
Tough and very physical opponents who (with a bit of luck) withstood the brunt of the confusing final siege in Lilies. For the Viola a Bitter Christmaswe need to get together quickly because Sunday 29th is there match against Juventus.
