Matri helps Juventus edge Fiorentina

Published November 20, 2014

Alessandro Matri scored the game-winner in the 1 win over Fiorentina at Juventus Stadium.

Juventus won for the fourth time against four draws in eight matches and moved back to the top of the table ahead of fellow unbeaten Udinese, which plays its midweek match at Napoli on Wednesday. Juve leads by one point.

Leonardo Bonucci handed Juve the lead inside 15 minutes, but Fiorentina was on level terms 13 minutes after half when Stevan Jovetic notched his fourth goal of the season.

Matri delivered the winner midway through the second half after Simon Pepe was able to slip a pass through five Fiorentina players into the penalty area, and Matri ran onto the ball and scored to the bottom left for his fourth goal.

Fiorentina lost its third of the season and has nine points from eight games - seven points off the pace of the leaders.
