In an evenly contested Serie A clash at Stadio Artemio Franchi on 10 March 2024, home team Fiorentina matched their rivals AS Roma in a 2-2 draw that saw a fair share of drama and competitive spirit from both teams.

Fiorentina’s early lead was initiated by Luca Ranieri's goal in the 19th minute of the first half, with a significant assist from Nicolas Gonzalez. However, the home team's lead was short-lived when in the 58th minute of the second half, Houssem Aouar from AS Roma found the equaliser with no provided assist. Fiorentina regained their lead with another goal in the 69th minute, only for it to be neutralized by Diego Llorente's effort in the 95th minute, assisted by Evan Ndicka, settling the score at 2-2.

Strategically, both teams were quite on an equal footing, each managing 5 shots on target. The variety in Fiorentina's attacking approach, however, was quite apparent. They took 10 shots off target, indicating their multiple attempts towards the goal and an aggressive attacking stance. Despite their wide attacking range, their only 1 offside event suggested a disciplined forward play.

The home team was more frequent in the use of corner kicks with 8 against Roma's 2, showing their tactical offensive play aimed at unsettling the rival's defensive formation.

As far as the conduct on the pitch is concerned, AS Roma players technically suffered more in discipline, acquiring 5 yellow cards, compared to Fiorentina's 2. Particularly, Roma's Mancini, Paredes and Huijsen were cautioned in the very first half. AS Roma's higher count of committed fouls (15) also compared to Fiorentina's 10 bolstered this aspect further.

This intensity in the game, while possibly adding pressure for Fiorentina, did not lead to a tangible advantage for AS Roma. Both teams failed to capitalise on their respective chances, which was reflected in the final score of 2-2. However, the discipline issue in Roma's gameplay may have affected their rhythm, potentially influencing the match outcome.

Overall, the contest was a hard-fought draw where neither team could significantly outperform the other based on the data. But, the statistical highlights certainly point towards a more aggressive game strategy employed by Fiorentina and a tougher line of discipline for AS Roma.
