Fiorentina’s attempt to secure a favorable outcome at the Ennio Tardini stadium ultimately resulted in a disappointing 1-0 loss against Parma in Serie A’s 17th fixture. The pivotal moment came just after halftime, as Oliver Sorensen scored the only goal of the match in the 47th minute.
Sorensen found the net with a well-placed header, assisted by Mateo Pellegrino, directing the ball into the opposition’s goal from the center of the box.
Oliver Sorensen was undoubtedly the standout performer of the game, contributing not only a goal but also taking two shots at goal. Mateo Pellegrino also had a strong performance, taking four attempts on target throughout the match.
Parma’s head coach, Carlos Cuesta, opted for a 4-3-3 formation, placing Edoardo Corvi in goal, with defenders Sascha Britschgi, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, and Emanuele Valeri. In midfield, they lined up with Adrián Bernabé, Lamine Keita, and Oliver Sorensen, while Jacob Ondrejka, Mateo Pellegrino, and Adrian Benedyczak led the attack.
On the other side, Paulo Vanoli’s Fiorentina fielded a defensive 4-5-1 setup with David De Gea as the goalkeeper. The defensive line consisted of Dodô, Marin Pongracic, Pietro Comuzzo, and Mattia Viti, while the midfield comprised Rolando Mandragora, Nicolò Fagioli, Cher Ndour, Fabiano Parisi, and Albert Gudmundsson, with Moise Kean as the lone striker.
The referee officiating the match was Marco Guida, who ensured the game flowed smoothly.
Looking ahead, Parma will face Napoli as the visiting team in their next match, while Fiorentina will return home to take on Cremonese.
With this outcome, Parma now sits on 17 points, placing them in 14th position in the league, while Fiorentina remains at 9 points, firmly at the bottom of the table in 20th place.
