Fiorentina starts off at full throttle, driven by a fiery Franchi crowd, and creates three chances in the first ten minutes with Kean, Ndour, and Brescianini. The lead comes in the 13th minute: Harrison crosses, the Nerazzurri defense clears poorly, Ndour shoots, and a huge mistake by Bozhinov unintentionally sets up Kean for the tap-in to make it 1-0.

In the second half, the Viola almost double their lead immediately with a Fagioli free kick saved by Nicolas. As the minutes go by, however, Pisa grows into the game: Meister is denied at the last second by Ranieri after a Fagioli error, and shortly after Moreno sends in a dangerous ball that Dodo deflects onto the crossbar, nearly scoring an own goal. In the final minutes, Fiorentina pushes again: Kean and Ndour force more saves from Nicolas, who does brilliantly to prevent a second goal.

The Viola hold on and take home three hugely important points in the battle to stay in Serie A, moving up to 24 points and catching Cremonese and Lecce, while Pisa remains on 15 points and sees safety slip even further away.

⚜️ Franchi Choreography: "The Sound of War from the City of Florence"

The match also carries historical and identity significance: the Curva Fiesole displays a choreography inspired by the Florentine Republic and the conquest of Pisa in 1406, reaffirming the centuries-old rivalry between the two cities.

In the heart of the passionate supporters’ section, a banner is displayed reading "Clamor belli civitatis Florentiae," meaning "The sound of war from the city of Florence."

💥 Bozhinov DISASTROUS, Kean makes it 1-0 and scores his 8th in Serie A

13th MINUTE – Fiorentina starts strong and breaks the deadlock after 13 minutes: after a shot from Ndour is blocked, Moise Kean finds the ball in the box and beats Nicolas, capping off the Viola’s excellent start.

Thanks to Bozhinov’s error, who mishits and helps the number 20 of Fiorentina score his 8th goal of the season.

⛔ Dodo DIVES: yellow card and SUSPENSION

47th MINUTE – The second half of Fiorentina–Pisa opens with a refereeing controversy: Dodo enters the area after a great burst of speed and goes down under contact with Bozhinov, appealing for a penalty.

Referee Mariani judges the action as simulation, does not award the penalty, and books the Viola full-back. Since he was already on a warning, Dodo will be suspended and will miss the next match against Udinese in Serie A.

😱 Fazzini WASTES, Canestrelli misses the equalizer: 30" of madness!

In the last thirty seconds of the match between Fiorentina and Pisa, absolutely everything happened. The Viola nearly doubled their lead with Fazzini: sent through one-on-one with Nicolas by Piccoli, he rounded the visiting goalkeeper but, with the goal wide open, only managed to hit the side netting.

On the quick counterattack, Canestrelli had the chance to equalize with his right foot, but sent the ball high over the crossbar, leaving Fiorentina safe by the skin of their teeth.
