Fiorentina win the Serie A Week 35 game Fiorentina vs Udinese on Sunday 14 May 2023 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina returned to victory after defeats against Napoli in the league and Basel in the Conference League. The return match against the Swiss next Thursday could prove to be fundamental for the purposes of the season, with the passage of the round which would mean the final. Fiorentina have already taken the pass for the Italian Cup final which will be played in Rome on May 24 and will see the Viola contend for the trophy with Simone Inzaghi’s Inter.
A goal in time allows Fiorentina to regain victory: in the seventh Castrovilli unlocks it who takes advantage of a short header clearance by Rodrigo Becao and beats Silvestri with his left foot. In the second half, in the 90th minute, Castrovilli serves Bonaventura who arrives in the area, jumps two men and beats Silvestri with his right foot towards the left post.
At the end of the challenge hot spirits and one expulsion for each side. It all starts from a confrontation between Bonaventura and Pereyra, then the teammates and both benches intervene. The referee Paterna decides to punish both Bonaventura and Becao with red lights.
Fiorentina opened the score in the 7th minute. Gaetano Castrovilli defeated Udinese goalkeeper with a left footed shot to the bottom left corner.
