Fiorentina suffered a 2-1 defeat to Torino in Serie A, plunging the ex-team into crisis as Rolando Mandragora returned to embarrass his former club. The Viola had been in total crisis since the start of the season, suffering a 4-0 loss to Roma and a 3-0 home defeat to Frosinone. Torino, who lost both Serie A matches and cup tie against Monza, joined former Fiorentina players Pietro Comuzzo and Niccolò Fortini in the starting line-up for their debut.
Within 75 seconds, Torino took the lead with Alieu Njie's goal, which was nearly scored on by Mandragora. Fiorentina's Christ Inao Oulai was injured after only 24 minutes. Despite Torino's possession advantage and Mandragora's almost goal, Fiorentina's Mateo Pellegrino broke the deadlock in the second half, surprising Perri with a powerful shot.
Torino equalized through Rolando Mandragora, who scored one of his trademark rockets from distance. Fiorentina failed to mount a comeback, and the Viola were jeered off the pitch at full-time.
