Goals: Miretti 10’
Fabio Miretti scored the only goal in the 10th minute on Sunday (Monday AEDT), firing Filip Kostic’s cross into the bottom corner. It was a first senior goal for the 20-year-old, who has been at Juventus since he was eight.
Juventus have not conceded a goal for six straight matches.
A section of hardcore Fiorentina fans boycotted the match in protest as they felt it shouldn’t have gone ahead at a time when the Tuscany region is struggling after devastating floods in the wake of Storm Ciaran.
They left their seats empty at one end of the stadium and were instead working to help clear the mud and standing water from homes and businesses.
There was a minute’s silence before all Serie A matches this weekend in memory of the victims. In Florence, the two teams — normally fierce rivals — mixed together during that moment to show their solidarity.
Fiorentina drop to eighth, level on points with Roma who scored two added-time goals to snatch a 2-1 win over Lecce.
