Overview
- Fiorentina went ahead through a Rolando Mandragora penalty after visible tension over the taker, with Moise Kean not celebrating.
- Sassuolo responded through Cristian Volpato and Amar Muharemovic before halftime and sealed it with Ismaël Koné, with Fabio Grosso later sent off for protests after an annulled goal.
- The defeat keeps Fiorentina on 6 points without a league win after 14 matches, while Sassuolo rises to 20.
- Statistical analyses highlight structural issues for Fiorentina, including 16 points squandered from leading positions and zero shots on target in second halves of the last two league games.
- Vanoli’s selection options remain strained, with Robin Gosens unavailable and Tommaso Fazzini out, and the coach publicly demanding more from midfielders Nicolò Fagioli and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia.
