😰 DISASTER Dodo, Toro takes the lead
In the 26th minute, Torino takes the lead with Cesare Casadei, scoring his fourth goal of the season and third with his right foot.
Apart from the usual merits of the class of 2003 in positioning, Fiorentina makes a reckless mistake. Instead of marking the midfielder, Dodo unsuccessfully tries to put him offside, leaving him completely free to strike and beat De Gea.
😱 Kean WASTES the 1-0
A match at a very high pace with many turnarounds. A vertical pass from Fagioli to Kean, as with Napoli, but the forward misses in front of Paleari.
The striker, served in depth, tries to lob the opposing goalkeeper, but the ball ends just above the crossbar. A severely wasted opportunity, as shown by the xG of 0.36.
⚡️ Immediate double chance for Torino
Fiorentina starts strong, but in the first 7 minutes, it's Torino that goes close to scoring twice.
First, Kulenovic shoots, probably centrally, but the ball deflected by Parisi grazes the post. Immediately after, Lazaro with a shot from the edge shoots just over the crossbar, scaring De Gea.
🎙️ Paratici: "Great to be back, goal is survival"
The new Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici spoke to DAZN before the match.
"It's great to be back. These are beautiful football evenings, a new old feeling, I try to fully enjoy it and live it 100%.
Talk with the team? I didn't have to tell them too much because we have a great coach. The only thing I told them is that we have to be here and suffer because you don't get out of these situations even with a month of good performances, we have to stay focused and achieve the goal which is Fiorentina's survival."
