A match between Torino and Fiorentina ended in a 2:2 draw, with Croatian footballer Sandro Kulenović earning praise from Italian media for his performance.
In a thrilling match between Torino and Fiorentina that saw a strong Croatian presence on both teams, the game concluded in a 2:2 stalemate. Torino's Guillermo Maripan salvaged a point with a goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The visitors took the lead early on with Cesareo Casadei's goal in the 26th minute, but Fiorentina fought back with goals from Manor Solomon and Moise Kean in the second half, showcasing the competitive spirit of both teams.
Croatian national team captain Nikola Vlašić was notably absent from Torino’s lineup due to accumulated yellow cards. However, newly joined Sandro Kulenović made a significant impact as he returned to the starting eleven following his first goal for the club earlier in the week against Inter in a cup match. His performance caught the attention of Italian media, particularly with La Gazzetta dello Sport awarding him a score of six and highlighting his tactical intelligence and potential contributions to the team's future matches, including the World Cup.
The match’s intensity not only highlighted the skills of individual players but also raised interest in Kulenović, who is being recognized for his team-oriented play. As he continues to adapt and impress in Italy, there’s speculation on how his burgeoning career might evolve and the role he could play in the Croatian national team, especially with the World Cup approaching and the team potentially fielding one of its oldest squads with significant tactical capabilities.
