In the 16th round of the Italian championship, Florence's "Fiorentina" hosted "Udinese" in a match that turned out to be unexpectedly intense and goal-packed.
A key moment that significantly influenced the outcome occurred in the initial minutes of the match. In the 8th minute, "Udinese's" goalkeeper Okoye received a straight red card for violating the rules and left the field. Following this incident, the balance of power on the field changed dramatically.
With a numerical advantage, "Fiorentina" took full control of the game and actively pushed on the attack. In the first half, goals by Mandragora and Gudmundsson opened the scoreline, and near the end of the half, Ndur's precise strike gave the team even more confidence.
In the second half, the Florence side maintained their pressure. Ken scored twice, securing the team's lopsided victory. "Udinese" only managed to respond with a single goal by Sole.
The match ended 5-1 in favor of "Fiorentina." Interestingly, this victory marked the club's first success in Serie A this season. Despite this, the team remains at the bottom of the standings with 9 points.
