Fiorentina's 0-6 win in Lecce

Lecce, 20 October 2024 - When a match, especially an away one, opens with the injury of your most talented player, thoughts immediately become gloomy: instead the Fiorentina, after losing due to a muscle problem Gudmundsson, overwhelms the Lecce thanks to the doublets of Cataldi e Hit, rounded off by the signatures of Beltran e Parisi. The Salentini, after a convincing start, melt under the blows of the Viola and under the whistles of the Street of the Sea, who also witnesses the direct red card given to Cock, one of the few to be saved from the shipwreck that now disturbs GottiOn the other side, the disqualified player is celebrating Palladino despite having his own problems with injuries: in addition to Gudmundsson in fact it also hurts Kean, but these are the only flaws in an afternoon that supports the high ranking ambitions of the Fiorentina.

The official lineups

Gotti choose a 4-4-2 open from Falcone, protected by Guilbert, Gaspar, baschirotto e Cock: in the median there are pierret e Ramadan, with Oudin e Dorgu on the exterior and the couple Rebic-Krstovic in front of. Palladino, disqualified and in the stands, replies with a 4-2-3-1 that he sees between the posts De Gea, with Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri e Goossens in defense and in turn shielded by Cataldi e Judicial: the only tip is Kean, assisted by Hit, Gudmundsson e bove.

First half

 Il Lecce strong part in the sign of Kristovic, who first puts in a cross-shot on which Cock he barely arrives and then, in the 5th minute, he challenges the reflexes of De Gea, careful on the shot from outside. The start for the Fiorentina is made even more complicated by the injury that occurred to Gudmundsson, who stops himself while running before touching his flexor: instead he is thrown into the fray Beltran. In the 11th minute, the Viola also struck with an attempt from outside: he shot Kean, but his left-footed curler is high, as happens shortly after in an action then thwarted by the offside position. In the 16th minute the home team earns an interesting free kick from the sidelines: Oudin beats for the head of baschirotto, imprecise in the header. Shortly after the ex of the day Rebic finds himself with a very interesting ball at his feet, but he chews up the conclusion and wastes the opportunity for his team. At 20', however, the low shot from outside with which Cataldi, served by the trailer of bove, unlocks the contest after a plot that had also involved Kean e Goossens: to mock Falcone on his pole also an almost imperceptible touch of Ramadan in a slide. The Fiorentina insists and sends the shot first Beltran and then Kean: in both cases he is careful Falcone. On the other side, at 28', Cock he goes off on his lane and puts a chocolate in the middle Kristovic, late, fails to clear: the home number 9, shortly after, tries to redeem himself with a header, but his aim is still off. Lecce wastes and, once again, the Fiorentina it's relentless: it's the 34th and Beltran physically wins a duel with Oudin, guilty of not having cleared an easy ball which then armed the cross of Cataldi and Falcone he slaps it so-so, thus paving the way for the shot in the corner of HitThe home goalkeeper partially redeemed himself in the 38th minute, parrying the great curling right-footed shot from Kean. The Viola are unable (for the moment) to score the third goal, but starting from the 45th minute they take advantage of the power play when Cock lands Dodo launched into the net by the filter of Judicial: for the referee Furnace (which then assigns 3' (in recovery) there is a direct red card and a free kick from the edge of the area which is masterfully converted by Cataldi, today in long-range sniper version.

Second half

 For different reasons, both coaches change: Gotti lancia Dying, Coulibaly e Band for Oudin, pierret e Rebic to try to avoid a worse shipwreck, while Palladino he also loses on the road due to injury Kean, detected by Kouame. In the 50th minute, the latter tried to join the goal celebrations on a pass from Cataldi, but the action ends with nothing done. The poker is in the air and arrives at the 54th minute, when Hit wins the triple duel with determination Falcone, which is saved in the first two cases before capitulating on the third attempt. Lecce continues to skid and at 67' he trembles again when a cross from Dodo fishery Beltran, who all alone misses the stop. Palladino changes again, giving rest to its big names: out Judicial e bove It's inside Richardson e Sottil. The latter in the 61st minute, after having eluded the marking to be reviewed by Guilbert, puts a ball in the middle that Kouame unintentionally dirty for Beltran, who does not miss the tap-in from zero meters. The turnover of Palladino it closes with the entrance of Parisi for Goossens. The protagonists change but not the script of the match, because shortly after Sottil puts in the way for Kouame, who with a precarious header sends the ball skywards. On the other side, in the 68th minute, the last to surrender seems Kristovic, who tries twice before also seeing a foul called against him Furnace. At 72' Fiorentina round out the loot with Parisi, whose diagonal on assist of Hit becomes lethal for Falcone also thanks to a detour. Gotti he still puts his hand to the bench by inserting Kaba for Ramadan. At 77' Hit he goes in search of a hat-trick but finds a deflection in his path Dorgu not noticed by the referee team. The last move of Gotti è Jeans for Guilbert and it is in fact the final touch to the scoreboard of Furnace, who then whistles three times, opening the Viola celebrations.
