Fiorentina continued their impressive run of form, securing their seventh consecutive victory across all competitions with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Torino. The match was decided by Moise Kean’s opportunistic goal, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by the home side.
The Viola, welcoming Kean back to the starting lineup, entered the match in high spirits despite missing key players Albert Gudmundsson and Marin Pongracic. Torino, on the other hand, came into the game struggling, having lost five of their last six official matches and dealing with several injuries to key players including Duvan Zapata and Perr Schuurs.
The game’s decisive moment came when Kean pounced on a series of defensive errors. A long ball from Luca Ranieri was allowed to bounce twice, and Kean muscled past Guillermo Maripan to prod the ball into an empty net, catching goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic off his line.
Both teams had their chances to impact the scoreline further. Torino came closest when Marcus Pedersen’s angled drive hit the far post after a clever run. Fiorentina also struck the woodwork, with substitute Rolando Mandragora’s free-kick hitting the upright shortly after coming on against his former club.
