Fiorentina comeback and beat Lazio 2-1

Fiorentina gets its first win of the season overturning the Lazio thanks to a double – from penalty – by Albert Gudmundsson that he could not dream debut best in the purple jersey. For the home team, a reward for a second half on the shields with the Biancocelesti who on the other hand melted in the hot afternoon at the Franchi. And to think that the first half is an almost uninterrupted symphony of the guests who find the momentary advantage only at the end of the 45′, with Crazy in the test, but if this happens it is above all thanks to De Gea who made at least two decisive saves first on Zaccagni (19′) and then on Dia (37′).

The beautiful challenge between the two goalkeepers had seen the prologue marked by a fundamental deflection on the palo by Provedel on Colpani which had been served in a delicious way by the former Cataldi. The 3-man defense heavily penalizes the lilies, also because the home team’s midfield does not filter, and the only offensive scheme is the long ball for Kean who alone can do little. On the other hand, in Lazio Isaksen is the star, well supported by Castrovilli, in his first start with the Capitoline team.

Palladino, dissatisfied with his team’s first half, decides to tactically overturn the team. The entries of Ranieri and Gudmundsson in the 1st minute of the second half lead to the change from 3-4-2-1 to 4-2-3-1. There’s not even time to note the changes that the Icelander equalizes from a penalty after being fouled by Guendouzi (49′). Baroni waits a bit before getting to grips with his Lazio, and when he does, after the substitution at the hour mark for Castrovilli, he brings on Pedro and Marusic for Dia and Lazzari.

The changes will add little to the Biancocelesti. On the other hand, Kean’s mistake in an aerial leap on a cross from Dodo in the 70th minute was serious, less so Colpani’s with a curling left-footed shot just before leaving the field with 10 minutes to go. With 2 minutes to go, Tavares’ penalty foul on Dodo which leads to the second penalty for the Viola, once again Gudmundsson scores, displacing Provedel and giving the victory to his team.
