Ronaldo Scores Brace in Juventus’s Triumph over FiorentinaRonaldo Scores Brace in Juventus’s Triumph over Fiorentina In a thrilling encounter at the Allianz Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his brilliance with a stunning brace, leading Juventus to a convincing 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in Serie A. The Portuguese superstar opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a clinical finish. After receiving a precise pass from Federico Chiesa, Ronaldo unleashed a powerful low drive into the bottom corner, leaving Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski with no chance. Ronaldo’s second goal arrived just before the hour mark, demonstrating his exceptional heading ability. A perfectly weighted cross from Juan Cuadrado found the forward unmarked in the penalty area, and he soared above his marker to guide the ball into the net with a magnificent header. In between Ronaldo’s goals, Juventus extended their lead through Dejan Kulusevski, who slotted home a rebound after Dragowski initially saved his effort. Fiorentina struggled to create clear chances throughout the match, and Juventus’s defense, marshaled by Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt, remained resolute. The victory consolidates Juventus’s position at the top of the Serie A standings, as they maintain a two-point lead over second-placed Inter Milan. For Ronaldo, it was his 8th and 9th goals in Serie A this season, and his 72nd and 73rd goals for Juventus in all competitions. The brace also marked Ronaldo’s return to form after a disappointing outing in the Champions League midweek. His goalscoring exploits will be a timely boost for Juventus as they prepare for a crucial stretch of fixtures in the coming weeks. Fiorentina, meanwhile, remain in 13th place in the league standings, and coach Vincenzo Italiano will be hoping for a more positive performance in their upcoming matches.
