Fiorentina celebrates their first win of the season, climbing to mid-table with 6 points, while Lazio stays at 7 points. In the upcoming round, fans can look forward to the Tuscan derby featuring Empoli and Fiorentina, while Lazio will head to Torino for their match.

In a thrilling encounter, Fiorentina managed to secure a comeback victory after Lazio initially took the lead with a goal from Gila just before halftime. In the second half, Palladino made some tactical changes, and debutant Gudmundsson, wearing the purple jersey, turned the tide by scoring two penalties.

The match begins with both teams finding their rhythm: Lazio is actively pushing forward while Fiorentina remains patient, looking to hit on the break. The first major opportunity comes for the home team in the 10th minute when Cataldi steals the ball from Dia in the attacking third and feeds it to Kean, who sets up Colpani in front of Provedel. The Lazio keeper pulls off a stunning reflex save to keep the score level.

A mere ten minutes later, the Biancoceleste side answers back with Zaccagni, who fires a shot from a wide position in the area, only to be met with a swift save from De Gea.

Palladino quickly makes his mark on Fiorentina, shifting the team to a four-man defense and showcasing the much-anticipated debut of Gudmundsson. Turning words into action, the Icelander makes an immediate impact, winning a penalty just four minutes in after being fouled by Guendouzi, which he then converts to equalize at 1-1 in the 49th minute.

The momentum of the match shifts, and for a significant portion, the game remains evenly matched, both on the scoreboard and in play. Kean has a golden opportunity to change the score again midway through the second half, but the Italian striker fails to capitalize on Dodo's perfect cross.

As the match nears its conclusion, excitement builds with several close calls: Lazio intensifies their attack, forcing De Gea into action and hitting the post with Patric's header from a corner. In a crucial moment in the 89th minute, Dodo is fouled in the box by Tavares, leading to a penalty after a VAR check. Gudmundsson steps up once more, confidently converting the penalty and securing a 2-1 lead.
