Serie A: Fiorentina-Cagliari 1-0: Vlahovic in minute 72

It had been presented as a challenge to salvation. Fiorentina, who beat Cagliari 1-0, came out of the hot zone of qualifying, leaving Di Francesco’s team in an increasingly delicate position. The decisive goal is achieved by the Serbian Vlahovic who, with his goals, is gaining the total confidence of the purple planet. The Serbian has scored five of the last seven. This time with a perfect assist from Callejón.

The beginning

–

Fiorentina got off to a better start, close to scoring in eleventh place with Vlahovic, who saw the conclusion rejected by Cragno without fail. A few minutes later the referee sanctions a penalty for a contact in the area between Vlahovic and Oliva. But the Var calls the referee to the video that changes his decision by assigning a penalty to Cagliari. The last sustain of the first half in the key of the viola is a slightly deflected header from Pezzella. The end of the first fraction is instead of Cagliari that at 37 ‘wins a clear penalty for lack of Igor on Joao Pedro. It is Joao Pedro himself who shoots from the point but Dragowski neutralizes the execution even blocking the ball on the ground.

In the second half, Cagliari still starts well, but Simeone misses a couple of precious opportunities. The game is leveling up. Both teams are looking for victory. Biraghi finishes high from a good position in the 13th minute, while Godin’s header ends wide in the 20th minute. Two minutes later comes the goal of the match. The action starts from the Argentine Quarta who at the end of the first half had entered in place of the injured Pezzella. The purple defender places Callejon in the right lane as he advances and chisels a ball into the center for Vlahovic, who scores 1-0 in the division. For him it is the sixth center of the League. The final assault of Cagliari gives Marín the ball of the possible tie but it is still Dragowski who opposes by deflecting for a corner. And for Cagliari it is the fourth consecutive defeat.
