Fiorentina defeats Pisa 1-0 in the relegation derby thanks to Kean's goal
Fiorentina secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Pisa, enhancing their chances of avoiding relegation with a decisive goal from Moise Kean.
In a tense relegation derby match at the Franchi Stadium, Fiorentina narrowly defeated Pisa 1-0, a victory that was more significant than just the three points on the table due to the dire standings of both teams. Fiorentina, under coach Paolo Vanoli, dominated much of the first half, showcasing an aggressive play style that culminated in Moise Kean's goal after taking advantage of a defensive error by Pisa's Canestrelli.
Although Pisa made tactical adjustments at halftime that improved their competitiveness in the second half, they struggled to pose a significant threat to Fiorentina's goal. An anxious moment arose when Dodò nearly scored an own goal, emphasising the tension in the match. Ultimately, Fiorentina's victory brings them level on points with Cremonese and Lecce, igniting their hopes for survival in Serie A, while Pisa remains firmly at the bottom of the standings, facing increasingly slim chances of escaping relegation.
