Fiorentina gave a hugely important response regarding the state of their preparation for the upcoming Serie A season against Real Madrid.
In Klagenfurt, Austria, La Viola came back from two goals down against José Mourinho’s Blancos and consequently finished the match at 2-2. Fabio Grosso is taking away more than positive signs.
Real’s two-goal lead
Los Blancos started with their foot on the gas and made the most of the width before breaking into the box. On the first goal, Carreras found Endrick in the middle from the left, and he opened the scoring with a turn and finish.
For the second goal, the Brazilian forward dragged his marker away, allowing Camavinga on the right to pick out Ciria unmarked at the back post. The 2008-born player made it 2-0.
Fiorentina’s reaction
Despite the match having started very badly with two goals conceded in just 24 minutes, La Viola showed they know how to respond. Piccoli pulled one back before half-time with a rocket in at the goalkeeper’s post, set up by new signing Jimenez.
Moise Kean’s 2-2, meanwhile, was a surgical header that, met in the middle of the box, flew into the far corner and into the net. Worth highlighting, as always, was the precise assist from an already sharp Fagioli.
