Goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone tried to play with a defender, but Vikingo interrupted the pass and, with a touch, turned the score around (67′), his fifth goal in Serie A, his seventh in the Viola shirt.

Fiorentina, for its part, missed the opportunity to get into the UEFA Champions League zone and remained at 34 points.
Lucas Martínez Quarta, starter, and Nicolás González, who came on in the 64th minute, were reprimanded during the visit, while Gino Infantino remained on the substitute bench, like Santiago Pierotti in the Giallorossi squad.
