In the world of football, hope is an intrinsic feeling, always present even in the most critical moments. A last-minute goal can not only change the fate of a match, but also shape a team’s entire season. This is what happened yesterday, with a goal scored by Cristante which consolidated Roma’s position among the top five in the standings.
The Capitoline team, under the guidance of Mourinho and now with De Rossi, stood out as one of the most dangerous teams in the final moments of the game. This aspect was also confirmed by an analysis conducted by Transfermarkt.it, which drew up a ranking of the most prolific teams in injury time. However, Bologna stands out in this special ranking.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, is placed sixth in this ranking, tied with Juventus and Empoli. Vincenzo Italiano’s team scored 4 goals in the final minutes, three in the first round, with Nico Gonzalez, Nzola and Bonaventura, decisive against Napoli, Cagliari and Udinese respectively. The last goal, however, was scored by Ikonè in the last match played in Salerno.
However, if we look at the goals conceded in injury time, Fiorentina showed a partial negative. There were 5 goals conceded, and all of them had a significant impact on the final result. With the exception of Odgaard’s goal, which arrived when the result was already secured for Bologna, the other goals conceded were decisive and cost the Viola 5 points in the standings.
Immobile’s penalty at the Olimpico, Lecce’s daring one-two at Via del Mare signed by Piccoli and Dorgu, combined with Llorente’s mocking goal for Roma at the Franchi, are the moments that Viola fans bitterly regret. It can therefore be said that if the matches had ended in the ninetieth minute, Fiorentina would certainly have more points in the standings. This is because the goals scored in injury time did not bring any advantage, while those conceded deprived the team of important points.
