Juve sees Europe (minor), the third consecutive victory against Fiorentina raises them to ninth place in the standings, -1 from seventh. Allegri launches the heavy trident with Di Maria, Vlahovic and Chiesa from the first minute, but Rabiot takes care of signing the three-point goal. Nervous match that becomes incandescent in the final, with Castrovilli’s goal disallowed, between the Viola controversies and the fury of Allegri who vents towards the grandstand in the final.
Nervous match, Fiorentina started at a thousand, Juve held the impact and relaunched on the feet of Di Maria, added offensive playmaker. He’s the one who catches Kostic with the right timing but the Serbian’s plate from two meters ends up wide. Juve raises the rounds and finds the advantage, Di Maria in the area finds Rabiot at the far post: winning shot with Terracciano’s rebound over the line. Viola tries to react with a jab from Ikonè, a providential rescue from Locatelli.
Then in the second half the roles are reversed, Fiorentina increases possession and raises the center of gravity, while Juve sinks on the counterattack. Fabbri annuls the 2-0 by Vlahovic (who does not rejoice against his past) for millimeter offside (after consulting the Var). Then Kean has two sensational chances but his aim needs to be reviewed. It’s the last flicker of the black and whites who lose leg and lucidity, tiredness takes over and Viola believes it.
Last minutes in apnea for Bremer and his companions with a yellow card in the final: Castrovilli draws the 1-1 play with a great shot from outside, but Fabbri cancels Ranieri’s offside (which sinks Locatelli) in the area, after the Var check. Stadium is a pit while the Fiorentina players surround Fabbri, Allegri gets a yellow card for hysterical exultation, and in the final he takes it out on a fan in the stands who booed the team: «What is it? Shut up! Come here!”.
