23 December, 2020
Serie A
Result: Juventus 0-3 Fiorentina
Date: 22 December 2020
Venue: Allianz Stadium
Juventus suffered their first Serie A defeat of the season after falling to a 3-0 loss as a result of Fiorentina on Tuesday evening.
It was the worst possible start for Juventus, going behind in the third minute. Franck Ribery picked up the ball in the center of the park and a simple go through Matthijs de Ligt and Leonardo Bonucci set Vlahovic clean through. The Serbian maintained his composure to chip the onrushing Szczesny and set the visitors ahead.
Things went from bad to worse for the Bianconeri found in the 18th minute when Juan Cuadrado was first sent off. The Colombian took over the ball and so that they can recover the problem, lunged in and captured Castrovilli along with his studs up.
In the 32nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball on the still left before departing Milenkovic and Pezzella for dead and firing a go in to the side netting.
Juve coach Andrea Pirlo made a change at the break with Alvaro Morata building way for Federico Bernardeschi.
It took some time in coming but La Viola doubled their business lead found in the 76th minute. Nourredine Amrabat acquired the first chance which was well blocked before Ribery found the rebound. He enjoyed it out to Cristiano Biraghi on the still left whose brilliant cross was diverted into his own net by Alex Sandro at the trunk post.
Fiorentina made the scoreline a lot more flattering found in the 81st minute. Bonucci was once more dispossessed far too easily. The visitors broke with speed and Biraghi provided another dynamite ball that was still left by Castrovilli for Martin Caceres behind him to slot in to the open goal.
