Serie A. Pulgar responds to Rebic. Fiorentina and Milan share the stakes, 1-1

Share

A generous Fiorentina grabs the peer in numerical inferiority, when Milan physically shuts down. In Florence 1-1 closes a challenge that does not relaunch the European ambitions of the Rossoneri and keeps the viola worried because Genoa and Sampdoria (and with them the third-last place) are not far away.

Usually 3-5-2 for Iachini, with Lirola and Dalbert on the outside and Vlahovic and Chiesa points. Pioli (ex of the viola) confirms Gabbia in the middle of the defense with Romagnoli, Castillelejo and Rebic (also an ex, with little luck to the 'Franchi') on the wings in support of Ibrahimovic, Calhanogli advanced director. The game is struggling to take off. Blaze in the quarter of an hour. On the one hand Castrovilli does not send the excellent work of the Church to a successful conclusion, which recovers an inviting ball on a mess between defense and Donnarumma; on the other, Dragowski intervenes with some uncertainty after a header by Rebic. Milan more active, in the 34th minute a goal was canceled through Var by Ibrahimovic, guilty of having settled the ball with his arm in the action leading to the conclusion. The last hint of the first fraction is of the violet brand: Chiesa sees the turn from an interesting position walled by the defense.

The recovery begins with bad news for the Rossoneri. After a few minutes Donnarumma forfeits and Begovic (arrived in January) makes his championship debut. The ex of Bournemouth immediately made a major intervention on the head of the Church, cited by Dalbert. AC Milan shakes. Pezzella saves with a great intervention on Ibrahimovic's raid. Then (56 '), Caceres literally gives Rebic the ball with a clumsy chest control and the Croat does not ask to unlock the result. Fiorentina further complicates life in the 62nd minute when Dalbert goes to hook Ibrahimovic launched by Calhanoglu. Punishment from the limit and red, after recall by the Var, for the outside lily. On the developments of the punishment, a pinball player gives the ball to Rebic, Dragowski denies him the brace. Iachini must still try, Cutrone (ex rossonero) for Castrovilli. Great opportunity for the Viola with the action started by Duncan and ended with a diagonal that hisses a hair over the pole by Vlahovic. Inside Igor for Lirola. Fiorentina very proactive despite the numerical inferiority. Pioli inserts Musacchio (for Gabbia) and Saelemaekers (for Castillejo). The efforts of the hosts are rewarded in the 85th minute, when Chiesa slips into the corridor for Cutrone, in contrast to Romagnoli. Calvarese sees the defender's foul and Pulgar makes no mistake from the spot. Viola perceives the excellent moment and tries to the end despite the inferiority. Great opening of the Church for Cutrone, low center for the rushing Caceres, a masterpiece by Begovic who rejects, Conti saves desperately on Vlahovic with a sure blow.
