Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Fiorentina 1-2 Hellas Verona in the Serie A on Sunday, 14 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Hellas Verona secured a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in this Serie A encounter. The visitors took the lead just before half-time when Gift Orban scored in the 42nd minute, capitalising on a well-timed assist from Moatasem Al-Musrati to break the deadlock after a competitive opening period. Fiorentina, who have now lost their last three league matches including defeats to Sassuolo and Atalanta, pushed for an equaliser in the second half but relied on an own goal from Verona’s Unai Núñez in the 69th minute to level the scores.
Verona, building on their recent wins against Atalanta and now Fiorentina after a mixed run of losses and a draw, regained control late on. Gift Orban struck again in the 90+3rd minute with an assist from Antoine Bernede, sealing the points in stoppage time despite Fiorentina’s dominance in possession. This result extends Fiorentina’s winless streak to five league games, highlighting their struggles, while Verona’s resilience on the counter proved decisive.
Fiorentina controlled 65% of possession and earned nine corners compared to Verona’s four, suggesting they dictated much of the play and created pressure through set pieces, yet they failed to convert this into clear dominance with zero assists recorded. Hellas Verona, despite less of the ball at 35%, excelled in successful dribbles with 55 against Fiorentina’s 38, indicating their effectiveness on the break, while their two assists directly contributed to both goals.
Discipline tilted towards Verona with five yellow cards against Fiorentina’s one, and no red cards for either side, which kept the game flowing despite the cautions. Both teams used all five substitutions, with Fiorentina making double changes at 61’ and 87’ – Niccolò Fortini replaced Luca Ranieri, Amir Richardson came on for Rolando Mandragora, Edin Džeko took over from Simon Sohm, Mattia Viti replaced Dodô, and Cher Ndour came in for Nicolò Fagioli – while Verona adjusted at 35’ with Gift Orban replacing Giovane, at 46’ Roberto Gagliardini for Cheikh Niasse, at 61’ Amin Sarr for Daniel Mosquera, and at 75’ Suat Serdar for Moatasem Al-Musrati alongside Nicolás Valentini for Martin Frese, helping them maintain energy for the late winner.
The match turned on Gift Orban’s brace for Verona, starting with his 42nd-minute goal assisted by Moatasem Al-Musrati to give the visitors a deserved lead after absorbing early pressure. Fiorentina equalised in the 69th minute through an own goal by Verona’s Unai Núñez, who inadvertently turned the ball into his own net under pressure, briefly shifting momentum. Discipline issues marked the game, with Verona picking up yellow cards for Cheikh Niasse (25’), Martin Frese (32’), Moatasem Al-Musrati (39’), Lars Kehl (70’), and Rafik Belghali (85’), plus a late one for Unai Núñez (90+5’), while Fiorentina’s Albert Gudmundsson was booked in the 36th.
A key substitution saw Gift Orban enter at 35’ for Giovane and make an immediate impact with his first goal, while his stoppage-time strike in the 90+3rd minute, assisted by Antoine Bernede, proved decisive in securing the win despite Fiorentina’s second-half push.
Fiorentina lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, relying on midfield partnerships like Rolando Mandragora and Nicolò Fagioli to control the game before their substitutions at 61’ and 87’ respectively, with Amir Richardson and Cher Ndour coming on to add fresh legs. Albert Gudmundsson provided attacking threat but picked up a yellow card, while Luca Ranieri and Dodô anchored the defence until replaced by Niccolò Fortini and Mattia Viti. Simon Sohm started up front but made way for Edin Džeko at 69’, aiming to boost their forward options.
Hellas Verona deployed a 3-5-2 shape, with Moatasem Al-Musrati influential in midfield by providing an assist before his 75’ substitution for Suat Serdar, and Gift Orban making a significant impact after coming on at 35’ for Giovane with two goals. Cheikh Niasse and Martin Frese started but were replaced at 46’ by Roberto Gagliardini and at 75’ by Nicolás Valentini respectively, while Daniel Mosquera made way for Amin Sarr at 61’. Unai Núñez featured in defence but conceded an own goal and later received a yellow card.
Bwin’s Man of the Match was Lorenzo Montipò, whose performance in goal for Hellas Verona proved crucial in holding off Fiorentina’s possession dominance. He made four key saves while conceding just one goal, demonstrating strong shot-stopping without needing clearances or punches, which helped secure the narrow victory.
