UC Sampdoria vs. ACF Fiorentina (06.11.2022)

On November 6th, 2022, ACF Fiorentina traveled to take on UC Sampdoria in an anticipated Serie A matchup. The game began with a high tempo as both teams sought an early advantage. Fiorentina found the breakthrough in just the 4th minute when Giacomo Bonaventura found the back of the net with a well-taken goal, putting the visitors ahead early in the contest.

Despite the early setback, Sampdoria did not succumb to panic. However, in the 25th minute, their situation became complicated when Mehdi Léris received a yellow card, signaling a growing intensity in the match. Tensions were further exacerbated when Fiorentina was awarded a penalty in the 32nd minute, but much to the relief of the home fans, Luka Jović's subsequent conversion was nullified for an undisclosed infringement, keeping the scoreline at 1-0.

Before the halftime whistle, Sampdoria enacted their first change by substituting B. Amione off in the 37th minute, signaling an attempt to shift the momentum. Sampdoria then made a double substitution at the start of the second half, bringing on D. Montevago to shake things up.

Fiorentina also changed personnel with two substitutions at halftime, introducing L. Martínez and replacing the earlier penalized Jović, indicating strategic tweaks from their coach.

Nevertheless, it was Fiorentina who struck again in the 58th minute with N. Milenković powering a header past the goalkeeper, doubling the visitors' lead and putting them in a comfortable position.

Sampdoria, staring down the barrel of defeat, made a triple substitution in the 66th minute in a valiant attempt to salvage the game, sending on Gonzalo Villar and A. Ferrari to freshen up the squad, followed by T. Augello in the 71st minute as their fifth and final switch.

Fiorentina managed the game well into the latter stages, using all available substitutions to introduce fresh legs with R. Mandragora and C. Kouamé entering the fray in the 83rd minute to ensure their team maintained control until the final whistle.

The match ended with Fiorentina claiming the spoils and leaving Sampdoria to reflect on what might have been. It was a spirited encounter, but ultimately Fiorentina's clinical edge proved decisive, earning them an important victory away from home.
