Genoa 2-2 Fiorentina: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Genoa 2-2 Fiorentina in the Serie A on Sunday, 09 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The 2-2 draw between Genoa and Fiorentina was a testament to both teams’ resilience, with Genoa maintaining their form after a recent win against Sassuolo. The match saw Genoa take an early lead through L. Ostigard, only for Fiorentina to equalise via a penalty from A. Gudmundsson. Genoa’s second goal by L. Colombo in the 60th minute was quickly countered by R. Piccoli’s strike for Fiorentina, showcasing the back-and-forth nature of the game. Given Genoa’s recent results, the draw was not entirely surprising, but it did halt their momentum from the previous victory.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, managed to end a three-game winless streak with this draw, which could be seen as a positive result considering their recent losses to Lecce and Inter. The match highlighted the importance of set pieces, with Fiorentina’s penalty proving crucial. Both teams showed moments of brilliance, but neither could secure the win, leaving them to share the points. The result keeps both teams in the lower echelons of the league, with Genoa slightly better positioned than Fiorentina.

Fiorentina dominated possession with 59% compared to Genoa’s 41%, indicating their control over the game’s tempo. This was reflected in their higher number of corners (7 to Genoa’s 3) and a significantly better successful dribble percentage (60% to Genoa’s 21%). Despite this, Genoa managed to match Fiorentina’s goal tally, suggesting their efficiency in front of goal. The match saw a total of five yellow cards, with Fiorentina receiving three, which might indicate a slightly more aggressive approach from their side.

The match’s opening goal came early from Genoa’s L. Ostigard, assisted by A. Martin, setting the tone for an exciting encounter. Fiorentina responded swiftly with a penalty converted by A. Gudmundsson, keeping the game level. The second half saw Genoa regain the lead through L. Colombo, assisted by L. Ostigard, only for Fiorentina to equalise again with R. Piccoli’s goal. These key moments defined the match, with both teams showing the ability to capitalise on their opportunities.

Genoa deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with L. Ostigard playing a pivotal role in both goals. The midfield trio of M. Ellertsson, M. Frendrup, and M. Thorsby provided a solid base, while A. Martín and V. Carboni offered width and creativity. This setup allowed Genoa to balance defensive solidity with attacking threat, contributing to their ability to secure a draw against a possession-dominant Fiorentina.

Fiorentina lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, with D. de Gea in goal and a back three of M. Pongračić, P. Marí, and L. Ranieri. The midfield was anchored by R. Mandragora, H. Nicolussi Caviglia, and S. Sohm, with N. Fortini and D. Dodô providing width. This formation enabled Fiorentina to control the game’s tempo and create numerous chances, though they ultimately settled for a draw.

L. Ostigard of Genoa was named Man of the Match for his crucial role in both of Genoa’s goals. Scoring the opener and providing the assist for the second, Ostigard’s performance was pivotal in securing the draw. His defensive contributions also helped Genoa maintain their shape against Fiorentina’s possession-based approach.
