the choices

–

Comuzzo for Pablo Marí, not registered. In Betis Perraud for the former Torino captain Ricardo Rodriguez, Abde for Jesus Rodriguez, Bakambu Acciacato but owner as the only help available.

It didn’t serve much. At the second lunge on the right Bakambu goes away to Comuzzo who cannot even spread it and serves Abde who, very, in the middle of the area, must only throw the ball inside (6 ‘). He does it in a clumsy way, and so the referee must wait for the VAR to say if the ball after hitting the crossbar has passed the line. Goal and explosion of a stadium constantly boiling. Fiorentina has the advantage of not succumbing, not to be overwhelmed, and taken by the hand of the very generous Gudmundsson begins to keep the ball, or at least try it, braking the impetus of Betis that risks the same on a beautiful turn of Mandragora’s head on Cross by Gosens (21) and no longer creates anything really serious until recovery when Bartra has a ball remained dangerously in the area of ​​De Gea. corner of Isco (46 ‘). The problem for the Palladino team is that it struggles to create dangers, so in the interval Kean replaces the expected Lucas Beltran. But to keep alive the purple is the usual De Gea: the Spaniard makes a miracle by throwing himself to his left to stop a Bartra’s header that all the stadium sees inside (49 ‘). Pellegrini replaces the pale Pablo Fornals with Lo Celso and the Argentine as soon as he entered offers a magnificent opening to Antony: Stoppato shooting, rebound to the Brazilian who burns De Gea with a great right from the edge (64 ‘).

Palladino tries with Richardson and Folorunsho for Fagioli and Parisi but the goal comes through other streets. Gosens ‘brilliant percussion that plants Ruibal and from the bottom download to the center of the area for the riding Ranieri who bags a network of enormous importance (73’). Bartra gets off her third opportunity, still head, and in full recovery Folorunsho risks a lot with an entry in slip on Lo Celso in the area.
