Juventus not waiting to see what happens with Fiorentina subs... and Pavel Nedved takes on the attack, but seeing Frey... changes direction to find Trezeguet.. oh nooooo Trezeguet missed it... but Salihamidzic finds hte bll and shoots .. though straight to goalkeeper Frey. Great effort by Juventus! heyyyy not over the ball falls to Trezeguet... will it be... Treze...treze... treze... OH NOOOOOO another wasted opportunity... too bad for Trezeguet the ball passed the post... | |
| Subs |
67' |
Fiorentina Substitution Semioli is out ....... Vanden is in Pazzini is out ..... Gobbi is in No more subs for Fiorentina. This is it... Coach Prandelli knows he has less than 30 minutes to change the score. |
| 65' |
Fiorentina try with Donadel sending a shot from thirty
five yards... hey, but guess what happens?? Yes, SUPER GIGI BUFFON say NOT SO FAST FIORENTINA... no goals allowed! what a match from Gigi... Gee he is the best goalkeeper... that's why I rather have a draw because I like both teams and GIGI is GIGI, but Mutu and Vieri also among my favorites! | |
| 63' |
Juventus coach not giving sign for bringing in Alessandro Del Piero. Trezeguet like Mutu not finding "a goal." Vieri not finding the goal either... hey guysss come on! | |
| 61' |
30 more minutes... Will Juventus beat Fiorentina in their own stadium? wow, it would have not been fair as Fiorentina is playing to win, having many opportunities but the "goal" is not a friend of Mutu today...Fans are constantly supporting the team, they believe in the dream. | |
| Yellow card |
59' | Juventus get Yellow Card. Nedved for a foul. |
| 57' |
Still time ... Fiorentina fans keep chanting... Mutu seems desperate... No concrete action from Bobo Vieri either... | |
| Yellow card |
55' |
Fiorentina get Yellow Card. Ujfalusi for a foul on Molinarao. Free kick to Nedved.. let's see ... from 40 yards... heyyy what a shot, but it went straight to the wall. |
| 53' | Hey, this match is becoming a war zone... Almiron is down.. stretcher comes... no, nothing serious... Almiron is back on his feet... I guess maybe he needed it some rest... | |
| 52' | Juve want to close the match and keep pushing but Fiorentina not willing to give up. | |
| 50' | Now, Juve atttacks.. David Trezegue shoots but the ball goes straight to Fiorentina goalkkeper Frey. By the way... France coach Domenech did not call Trezeguet for the national team despite Trezeguet's excellent performance in the Serie A with 7 goals! | |
| 49' | It is now or never for Fiorentina.
Hey.... what do you know... Mutu and Balzaretti making a nice connection passing
Juventus defence. Oh no... Nocerino takes down Balzaretti just outside the area.
Free kick to Fiorentina. Come on Mutu.... hey, at least to reward Fiorentina
fans who keep chanting and chanting displaying their banners.. what a
scene! Nope... the ball went straight to Juve goalkeeper Gigi Buffon. | |
| subs | 46' | Fiorentina substitution Kuzmanovic is out... Christian Vieri is in |
| -- |
46' | Yes.. time for the second half and FIorentina hopes are
high... Coach Prandelli is bringing the tank Bobo Vieri! Awesome... YOU GO VIERI! GEee.. now I forgot I was hungry.. boy... it promises an interesting second half. The ideal will be to have Juve's captain Alessandro Del Piero too because Trezeguet has not been that effective this time. Iaquinta is shining alone. |
| INTERVAL - INTERVALLO - PAUSA | ||
| 45' | No... It is still Fiorentina 0 - 1 Juventus. Mutu did not make it... The
goal is running away from Mutu. One minute stoppage time. Time for Fiorentina coach Prandelli to work on his strategy if wanting to equalize and win the match. Will Bobo Vieri play in the second half? I hope so. | |
| Yellow card |
43' | Fiorentina - Kuzmanovic gets a yellow card for a foul on Almiron. |
| 41' | 4 more minutes and this is over until the second half. wow penalty for Fiorentina? heyyyy Fiorentina players want a penalty??/ for what??? Nope.. Referee Rizzoli says NO WAY JOSE... so keep playing... | |
| 38' | Seems like there is no way out... Fiorentina cannot equalize the
score. Mutu has attempted many times but the "goal" seems not being his friend at this point... will he make it before the end of the first half? Gee... I hope so! | |
| 37' | Ujfalusi sends a ball in to the area, Mut heads the ball... geeee it is wide and Buffon saved his net again. Juve is safe despite constant chances from Mutu. | |
| 35' | Juventus now on counter attack.. it's NEDVED... from outside the box sends a ball but Fiorentina goalkeeper not ready to receive another goal... blocked and it's a corner for Juventus. | |
| 34' | The chants are giving strength to Fiorentina. Montolivo passes a a ball to Mutu... geeee Mutu lost the ball... | |
| 32' | wow... Montolivo strikes from 3o yards, the ball changes direction and GIGI BUFFON keeps his net clean. Fiorentina fans keep chanting, supporting their home team but no goals yet. | |
| 31' | Come on... again... Salihamdzic fouls Montolivo given away a free kick i for Fiorentina | |
| 29' | Juve seem on fire, Salihamidzic sends a long ball to Frenchman David Trezeguet, by the way, he has been quiet... not much action from Trezeguet. Trezeguet shoots but Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey cleared the danger. Another goal would have been disastrous for Fiorentina. | |
| 27' | Let's hope Mutu scores and this match becomes a Mutu - Iaquinta challenge. | |
| 25' | What a blow to Fiorentina... after having so many opportunities with Mutu... and now they are down! | |
|
23'' | what a mistake by Fiorentina!!! Iaquinta
gets a ball right at his feet after Fiorentina fails to clear a pass... hey come
on... Ia quinta found the ball and what do you expect? HE JUST SHOOT and it is
GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLL It's Fiorentina 0 - 1 Juventus. |
| 21' | Fiorentina fans keep chanting... supporting their team "la viola" oh oh oh Salihamidzic commits a foul on Montolivo | |
| 20' | Semioli takes position for the corner...shoots and finds Adria Mutu right at the back post but his header goes over the bar. Another wasted opportunity for Fiorentina. The goal is knocking at the door... well, at the net... ha ha. | |
| 19' | Now, it's Pazzini with a chance to score, sends a pass to Semioli on the right... nope... nothing.. ball is clered and Fiorentina win a corner. | |
| Yellow card |
17' | Nocerino gets a yellow card. |
| 16' | It's Fiorentina again... what a
combination, Montolivo to Semiloi to Pazzini and the ball back to Montolivo.
Nothing happens... I wonder when is Bobo Vieri playing... he is on the bech. | |
| 15' | oh oh, Mutu again... shoots ..oh nooooo come on Mutu... the ball is outside the area going over the bar. Gee.. that a was bomber.. another wake up call for Juventus... GIGI is alert! Juve defense is the one allowing space... is not that Mutu doesn't appreciate these opportunities.Gooooooo | |
| 13' | woww Donadel sends a ball over the top to Adrian Mutu, come one, come on, come on Mutuuuuuu just passed through, but Juve goalkeeper Giggi Buffon cleared the danger. It's GIGI TIME! Hey... I cheer for both, I love Buffon and Mutu... maybe a draw will make me happy.. oh no... come on... Viola...Firenze was my home town during the time of Battistuta! | |
| 10' | Opportunities for goals are for both. Yet, neither have convert into goals. | |
| 9' | Having said that, now, Fiorentina get motivated and Kuzmanovic sends a long range to no no avail it's well wide. Both teams show they mean business, no time for draw, but they want to score. | |
| 8' | The rhytym is changing, Fiorentina starting to slow a bit while Juventus seem awake. Who will it score the first goal? Juve, Fiore? | |
| 6' | Juventus react and Grygera runs it down the right wing. Juve win the frist corner. | |
| 5' | Fiorentina are set to score, Donadel sends a ball to Romanian striker Mutu. Though, Mutu shoots outside area and it's too wide. A wake up call for Juventus. | |
| 4' | Ufjalusi is down... serious? no... he gets up and the match continues. | |
| 2' | Fiorentina are attacking. Incredible, just in the beginning and Juventus defence leaving space for Fiorentina. | |
| 0' | Both teams are on the pitch surrounded by the roaring chant of Fiorentina
fans and Referee Rizzzoli whistles the beginning of the match... let's roll. | |
| -- | 0' | The day has come for Fiorentina - Juventus The Artemio Franchi of Florence is crowded and full of Fiorentina banners, scarfs, waiting for the victory of their home team. Surprise is that Alessandro Del Piero is not in the starting line up, but on the bench! Juve Coach opted for Vincenzo Iaquinta. For Fiorentina, Christian Vieri is on the bench. |
