Fiorentina Strike First

The home side wasted no time asserting themselves, as Mateo Pellegrino opened the scoring in just the 4th minute. A swift counter-attack saw Pedro Goncalves deliver a precise assist, and Pellegrino made no mistake, slotting past Guglielmo Vicario to send the Stadio Artemio Franchi into raptures.

Juventus Respond with Nick Woltemade

Juventus, undeterred, slowly worked their way back into the game. Their persistence paid off in the 32nd minute when Randal Kolo Muani set up Nick Woltemade, who finished coolly to level the score. The Bianconeri’s composure was evident as they wrestled control of possession, finishing the half with 59% of the ball.

The Viola’s energy and determination were palpable, as they pressed high and created chances from all angles.

Gleison Bremer Seals the Draw

Juventus, however, refused to be beaten. Gleison Bremer rose to the occasion in the 66th minute, heading home from a Douglas Luiz corner to make it 2-2. The visitors’ experience and resilience shone through as they continued to push for a winner, but Fiorentina’s defense held firm.
