Juventus answer twice to earn a 2-2 draw at Fiorentina

Pellegrino punished the first defensive lapse
Fiorentina opened the scoring almost immediately. Pellegrino found space at a corner and headed past the goalkeeper without being placed under enough pressure, giving the hosts a platform before Juventus had settled.

Juventus responded by moving the ball more quickly through midfield. David de Gea stopped Juan Cabal, while Teun Koopmeiners sent another attempt wide as the visitors began to find gaps around the edge of the penalty area.
Woltemade completed the first recovery
The equaliser arrived in the 32nd minute. Randal Kolo Muani created the opening and Woltemade met the pass at the right moment, directing the ball beyond De Gea.
Juventus nearly moved ahead soon afterwards, but De Gea reacted sharply to Woltemade’s next attempt. Fiorentina then finished the half with renewed pressure and came close through Goncalves, so the interval score reflected chances at both ends.
Fiorentina found another lead after the break
The Serie A match was played on 8 November. Njie restored Fiorentina’s advantage in the 54th minute by reacting first in a crowded area and reaching the ball before Weston McKennie.
Luciano Spalletti answered with three substitutions. The changes increased Juventus’ speed on the flanks and gave the team more runners around the box instead of leaving the forwards isolated between Fiorentina’s centre-backs.

Bremer secured a point from a set piece
Juventus’ second spell of pressure ended with another equaliser. Bremer attacked a corner from the left and reached the ball before De Gea, whose attempt to claim the cross did not remove the danger.
Fiorentina still created the best late chances, but the visiting goalkeeper denied both Brescianini and Mastantuono. The draw extended Fiorentina’s unbeaten run to three matches, while Juventus left with a point after showing the patience to recover twice.
