Fiorentina beats Como 2-1 with goals from Fagioli (26') and Kean from the penalty spot (54'). A sensational own goal by Parisi (77') sets up a heated finale that leads to protests and expulsions: Vanoli gets a red card, a member of Como's staff and Morata, who came on in the second half, are also sent off.
The Viola move - for now - out of the relegation zone with 21 points, level with Lecce who will play Cagliari on Monday. Como, on the other hand, remains at 41 points, in 6th place in the standings, and suffers their first loss in a month.
In the first half, Como immediately takes possession of the ball but neither team manages to shoot, only Nico Paz hits the target from outside the box. The dead calm is broken by Fagioli's goal in the 26th minute.
Parisi wins two rebounds on the wing, crosses low, and Kempf poorly clears the ball. Fagioli receives it in the box, his first shot is blocked, then on the rebound he dribbles past two men with a feint: after that, he beats Butez at the near post.
This is Fagioli's first goal of the season, his third overall for Fiorentina after last year's goals in Serie A and the Conference League.

At the start of the second half, Fiorentina makes it 2-0 in the 54th minute: Mandragora is tripped rather lazily by Perrone, who is completely out of time.

Kean steps up to the spot and shoots into the top corner: unstoppable for Butez, who remains rooted to the spot. During the celebration, Como's goalkeeper also trips—apparently unintentionally—Fagioli, who was running. Referee Marchetti and VAR do not intervene.

In the 70th minute, Paolo Vanoli is sent off after an argument that started following Como's protests over a contact near the box between Jesus Rodriguez and Harrison. According to Marelli, however, the challenge is not punishable: "From my point of view, there is no foul, in fact, it's Jesus Rodriguez who seeks the contact".

After this decision, Paolo Vanoli is sent off, the coach then enters the pitch to protest to the referee and the fourth official.

Parisi stains an excellent match with a sensational own goal in the 77th minute: cross from the left by Jesus Rodriguez, the Fiorentina defender intervenes first-time under no pressure and puts the ball into his own net.

Como gets back into the game at a moment when it seemed over.

In the closing stages, chaos ensues: first, Como protests for a handball by Mandragora in a close challenge. According to Marelli, it's not a penalty: "There is a handball by Mandragora but it's a matter of positioning, for me it's not a penalty. He doesn't see the ball and there's no movement towards it."
The Como bench erupts in protest, a staff member is sent off, and shortly after, Morata is also sent off: the striker argues off the ball with an opponent and receives a second yellow in 1 minute (he had come on in the 57th minute).

As he leaves the pitch, Morata has to be restrained by a staff member to avoid further suspensions.
