Bad coverage, stupid analysis, and pointless jokes about Fiorentina on behalf of SB Nation. Not reading DMs.

I believe "Fiorentina" is actually Norse for "play really well until the key moments of your season"

That'll do it for me. This is Tito signing off to step outside and get some fresh air. You should do the same. I love you all.

All in all, a pretty fun game. Plenty of positives for the Viola to take away even if they couldn't hang on for the win. violanation.com/fiorentina-m…

Fiorentina 2-2 Juventus: Match report

The Viola get pegged back twice but still come away with a hard fought point.

And that's the triple blast. 2-2 in a sloppy, entertaining game. Both sides with chances to win it but couldn't quite manage. Fiorentina makes it 5 straight without defeat against the Juvenuts; the last such streak started in 1955.

Huge tackle by Viery on Kolo Muani in the Viola box there. Probably saved a goal.

And now Vicario with a big stop on Mastantuono going the other way. Frantic finish to this one.

And now it's Beto curling around and smashing one. Didn't wrap his foot quite far enough and it's wide of the post.

Brescianini hammes a low drive that Vicario palms away and Gnonto's inches from turning home the rebound. We're not done yet.

86' Beto for Pellegrino, who's put in a huge shift. Gnonto for Njie, who's also worked his socks off.

82' Drǎgușin heads home a corner but the whistle's gone. Believe he got called for a shove on Bremer. Going to need the replays before I say anything.

Post-replay and yeah, there was a shove. Copy-paste every debate about "they could call a PK on every set piece with all the pushing and grabbing that goes on" but whatever.

79' João Mário might've jsut gotten away with a handball in the box there. Genuinely can't tell but looks like it really might've been.

66' Juve's had so many corners and was bound to make one count. It's Bremer beating Drǎgușin in the air but the real story is de Gea wandering into no man's land there. Very indecisive and his team pays the price.

64' Double change for the good guys: it's Brescianini and Fagioli for Pote and Oulaï. Both logical choices. Christ was on the verge of getting sent off and Pote's poor conditioning has been an open secret all year.

Njie might be the most exciting player we’ve had in years @Viola_Nation

56' Mastantuono cuts in and fires one just wide. Great work from Ndour to set him up for that. Feels like Fiorentina might be figuring some stuff out.

54' Oulaï put Jimenez through down the right and the RB hammered a low ball to the back post that bounced around for what felt like an eternity before Njie steamed through and poked it home. Marvelous.

50' Oulaï booked after a frustration foul on Boga following a mazy run into a thicket of Juve bodies in the box. Feels like he's verging on head loss. Vanoli may need to get him out of there soon.

52' And another foul on Boga in the open middle of the pitch to kill a break. Living on the edge right now.
