Fiorentina was held goalless by a 10-man Torino

In a fierce encounter, Torino and Fiorentina split the spoils. But after missing out on the opportunity to make use of their numerical advantage at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, the visitors would most likely go home feeling disappointed. Even though Fiorentina extended their league undefeated streak to three games, they were held goalless by a 10-man Torino. Despite having the advantage of numbers throughout the whole second half, Vincenzo Italiano's troops were unable to capitalize on it.

Samuele Ricci was sent off for a second time for Torino in the closing seconds of the first half. But after the interval, Ivan Juric's team played stoically, stifling all Fiorentina threw at them to extend their winning record in Serie A over La Viola to six games. As significant as it may seem to Torino under the circumstances, a point dealt a possibly fatal blow to their flagging hopes of a European finish.
