Fiorentina disaster, Como expels the Franchi
Florentin collapses at the Franchi: the lily-livered players are remounted and beaten 2-1 by Como in the match valid for the fourth day of Serie A. A tough defeat for Pioli’s team, still dry of victories in the league and now slipping to 17th place in the standings. Applause for Como, which climbs to eighth place with seven points, dragged once again by a Nico Paz in great form (two more assists).
First half of the purple brand: Pioli’s team commanded the game by monopolizing the midfield and unlocking the result immediately at 5′ with Mandragora, scoring with a powerful left-footed shot from the limit of the Larian penalty area. The reaction of Fabregas’s team hardly materialized, the liliati came close to doubling the score first with Kean and then with Piccoli. After the half-hour the guests grow, Morata engages De Gea before the interval, at the expiration Como is awarded and then taken off a penalty by VAR because the contact occurs outside the area.
In the second half Como confirms its progress and raises the pace, De Gea at 53′ rejects a sure shot conclusion by Sergi Roberto: it is the prelude to the goal of the’1-1 that arrives at 65′, Kempf scores it with a header on a precise free kick by Nico Paz.
Eventful ending, at 94′ Como finds the winning goal: on the flip of the front Nico Paz serves Addai who enters the area, munches Pongracic and beats De Gea for the winning goal.
