Fiorentina-Bologna 2-2: a dramatic draw full of emotions and controversy

Fiorentina responded with determination, also fueled by the fans’ protests after the rossoblù’s third goal, which was then disallowed. A handball by Ferguson awarded a penalty to Gudmundsson, who coolly converted it and brought the viola back into the game. The team led by Pioli kept pressing, forcing Bologna to defend carefully, especially after Holm’s sending off. The final phase of the match was extremely tense: in the 94th minute, Kean scored a decisive penalty, making it 2-2 and saving Fiorentina from an almost certain defeat. Shortly after, Dodo had the chance to make it 3-2, but from close range, with the goal wide open, he failed to push the ball into the net. Several refereeing decisions were reviewed by VAR, including the penalty initially awarded to Kean and then overturned, making the match even more controversial and spectacular.
