Fiorentina and Genoa both got the point they needed to put themselves beyond reach of the relegation zone with two rounds to spare.
The Grifone were practically safe already, but the Viola still needed one more result to be sure and were coming off a heavy 4-0 defeat to Roma. Moise Kean and Tariq Lamptey were still out, though Roberto Piccoli returned to the bench, so teenager Riccardo Braschi got his first start. Genoa missed Junior Messias, Tommaso Baldanzi, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Maxwel Cornet and Sebastian Otoa.

For Mother’s Day, both teams wore jerseys featuring their maternal names on the back.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
Vitinha fired straight at David De Gea following a Dodo error, while Fabiano Parisi had penalty appeals rejected when he seemed to be clumsily caught by Amorim.
Leo Ostigard had a couple of headers from set plays before getting one on target, forcing a tricky save from De Gea on a free kick.
Fiorentina also came close from a corner, Luca Ranieri’s looping header just wide of the far post, while at the other end Caleb Ekuban’s strike was deflected over by Ranieri’s arm from point-blank range.
On the resulting corner, De Gea was visibly struggling with a muscular issue and the free kick was given for a foul against him as Vitinha’s header was cleared off the line.
Genoa had another huge chance when a free kick was flicked on to the back post, where Caleb Ekuban’s volley tested De Gea, and Robin Gosens threw himself in the path of Ostigard’s follow-up from a couple of yards.
Ekuban also failed to make the most of Marco Brescianini’s error playing out from the back, but Fiorentina had a chaotic opportunity too. Piccoli and Gosens tried desperately to turn in after a Brescianini knock-down, but in the mad scramble, Fabiano Parisi’s effort was accidentally deflected wide off teammate Gosens.
Dodo earned jeers in stoppages when sent forward on the counter only to roll a weak and predictable pass across from the right.
Both teams are now safe, but the mood was less one of celebration at the final whistle, more frustration and a sigh of relief with very loud jeers.
