Fiorentina suffered two consecutive defeats, losing 1-2 to Udinese at home. Kean took the lead through a penalty in the 8th minute, but was overtaken by Lucca and Thauvin's goal in the 49th and 57th minutes of the second half, and finally lost at home.


In the standings, the Fiorentina is tied with Juventus for fifth place with 31 points, and a home game against Inter Milan is still to be resumed; while Udinese is ninth with 23.

The home team started strongly and took the lead through a penalty in the 8th minute. Sottil was tripped by Christensen on the left side of the penalty area. VAR then intervened in this foul and awarded the Fiorentina a penalty. Kean took the penalty and scored the ball, scoring his 10th league goal and scoring double digits in Serie A for the first time in his career.


In the 34th minute, the Fiorentina started a counterattack. Sottil sent a through pass in the counterattack. Kean's shot after the forward insertion slipped past the goal. Fiorentina missed a good opportunity.


In the 38th minute, the first yellow card of the game: Gosens was knocked down by Zemura and Zemura received a yellow card. Two minutes later, Lovric shot from the edge of the penalty area and the ball went high.


Only 4 minutes into the second half, the Zebras equalized the score. Ranieri made a serious mistake when clearing the ball. He passed the ball to Ekkelenkamp on the edge of the penalty area. The Dutchman assisted Lucca to shoot into the net with his right foot.

Lucca received a cross from a corner kick in the penalty area five minutes later: this time he finished the shot with a overhead kick but hit the post.


Udinese turned the game around thanks to Thauvin in 57 minutes. The French striker did it all: dribbled the ball on the right, cut inside the middle, shot with his left foot on the edge of the penalty area, and scored past De Gea.


The subsequent attacks from both sides were not very threatening, and both coaches made substitutions in the hope of helping their teams improve the situation, but the score remained unchanged in the end.


The home team attacked in the last few minutes, but only one chance was created, Ikone shot low with his left foot from the left side of Sava, who made a wonderful diving save to preserve Udinese's hard-earned victory.
