Serie A 2024-25: Fiorentina scores late to earn draw at Juventus

A last-gasp goal by forward Riccardo Sottil earned Fiorentina a 2-2 draw at Juventus in Serie A on Sunday after Khephren Thuram scored twice for the host.

Thuram put Juventus in front after 20 minutes, sending the ball low inside the near post after an impressive solo run, before Fiorentina’s Moise Kean levelled ahead of the break with a header.

Thuram restored the lead for Juve three minutes into the second half, scoring into the far bottom corner from close range but Sottil equalised for Fiorentina in the 87th minute with a powerful, close-range volley.

Earlier in the match, play was suspended briefly after Dusan Vlahovic was subjected to discriminatory chants. The referee then stopped play, gathered the teams and ordered a warning announcement to be made over the stadium’s public address system.

Juventus remained sixth in the standings, level on 32 points with fifth-placed Fiorentina.
