Fiorentina is saved in the 96th minute: Gosens mocks Monza
Fibrentina is saved at 96': Gosens mocks Monza
The match at the Franchi between Fiorentina and Monza, valid for the third day of the Serie A championship, ends 2-2: Palladino’s team was initially surprised at Nesta’s eleven and found itself down by two goals, hit by Djuric and Maldini. Before halftime Kean halves the disadvantage, in the second half the axis formed by the two newly acquired Adli and Gosens gives the final 2-2 to the violets at 96'. Both teams postpone their first win: for Fiorentina è the third tie in a row, just two points for Monza.
First half, after a good purple start the guests take the lead at the first opportunity thanks to Djuric on 18' off a low cross from Pedro Pereira. Former Palladino’s Fiorentina struggled to react and slammed against Monza’s defense, which again cynically doubled at 32': Daniel Maldini was freed by Kyriakopoulos and with a great right-footed shot from the edge of the box found the 2-0.
After a moment of lurching (Terracciano deflects Maldini’s shot onto the post), the lily-men finally manage to get into the game and halve the disadvantage with Kean, good at anticipating Pablo Marì on an assist from Ranieri.
Resumed, Fiorentina raises the center of gravity and creates a sharp opportunity with Kean, then Nesta's team manages to lower the pace of the match defending with order. Nervous ending, the Brianzoli coach is cautioned for protests. The pressure of the hosts è very strong and in the dying minutes comes the equalizer: the newly acquired Gosens on a cross of the other newcomer Adli incorna past Gagliardini for the final 2-2.
