Nicolás González left behind the physical discomfort that left him off
Lionel Scaloni 's list
for the
2022 World Cup in Qatar
and is showing high-level performances at
Fiorentina
.
This Sunday, he had a crucial participation for his team with a great goal.
The 24-year-old winger overflowed on the right, started through the center, passed it to Giacomo Bonaventura who could not control the ball well, but the Argentine, run over, took the ball and
unleashed a spectacular left-footed shot that nailed to the side from the right post of Ivan Provedel, Lazio goalkeeper, to establish the 1 to 1, which would end up being definitive.
It is the fifth goal for the former Argentinos Juniors and Stuttgart in 14 games played
so far this season and he has been close to leaving the Italian club to go to the
Premier League
: Leicester and Newcastle offered for him, but the values were well below what the whole of Florence intended.
Nico Gonzalez celebrates his goal.
With this new tie,
Fiorentina remains far from the European cup positions
: 24 points in total, four behind Udinese (which would be qualifying for the Conference League) and one above Juventus, who surprisingly lost to Monza today. Meanwhile ,
Lazio earned the point to settle third, 12 behind Napoli, who leads Serie A.
