Fiorentina’s nightmare isn’t over, but a faint sign of life arrives against Bologna with a comeback from 0-2 to 2-2 at the Franchi.
A simply crazy match, led by Bologna for over 70 minutes and then slipping away in the final stages, also due to Holm’s red card. Will this point be enough to save Stefano Pioli’s job?
On the last play of the match, Fiorentina’s best player on the field makes an unbelievably grave mistake.
Dodo, with the goal wide open inside the six-yard box, fails to hit the target. Eight league matches without a win, and with missed chances like these, it’s clear why.
It’s the former Fiorentina star Bernardeschi who, in stoppage time, commits a handball on Kean’s scissor-kick attempt. Referee Lapenna doesn’t see it live, but is called over by VAR.

This time it’s Moise Kean who steps up to the spot, sending Skorupski the wrong way and making it 2-2. Second league goal for the striker.
In the 83rd minute, Bologna goes down to 10 men after Holm’s second yellow card for a foul on Fortini. Three minutes later, Rowe is subbed off for Casale to bolster the defense.
However, the winger had only come on in the 65th minute and took it quite badly. Visible frustration before, during, and after the substitution for the Englishman.
In the 74th minute, Fiorentina gets back into the game. The Viola are given a scare as Dallinga scores to make it 3-0, but it’s disallowed for a previous offside by Orsolini. The close call gives the team courage and pushes them forward.
Dodo wins the penalty with a low cross into the box that hits Ferguson’s outstretched arm. Gudmundsson steps up and converts with great precision. Skorupski guesses the right way but can’t reach it. Third goal of the season for the Icelander, his first in the league.
After coming close to scoring with Kean and then hoping for a handball on his shot that would have led to a penalty—overturned by VAR—Fiorentina concedes the 2-0.


Masterful play by Bologna, who work the entire offensive front before breaking through on the right with Holm’s overlap. Cambiaghi does brilliantly to follow up in the center and slot home the doubling goal. Second goal of the season for the winger.
The first half is decided by Santiago Castro’s strike, a spectacular acrobatic goal that is the Argentine’s second of the season.
Continuous back-and-forth in Fiorentina’s box after a long ball from Freuler, until the ball falls to Castro: a volleyed right-footed turn and De Gea is beaten.


Pablo Marì is at fault in this situation, twice failing to clear the ball and gifting it back to Bologna.
Earlier, Fiorentina had already threatened with Miranda, who forced De Gea into a save from distance.
