ACF Fiorentina played out a 0-0 draw against US Sassuolo Calcio at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on April 26, 2026, in a crucial Serie A fixture. This result means that the Viola are still not mathematically safe from relegation to Serie B, extending the wait for certainty regarding their top-flight status.

Fiorentina approached the challenge without two first-choice strikers, Moise Kean and Roberto Piccoli. The coach deployed Albert Gudmundsson as the centre-forward, supported on the wings by Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon. Sassuolo also had significant absences, with Domenico Berardi unavailable, opting for an attacking trio of Christian Volpato, Andrea Pinamonti, and Armand Lauriente.

The match saw Fiorentina's goalkeeper, David De Gea, make the first significant save after just 10 minutes. Following a Sassuolo counter-attack, Ismael Kone and Lauriente combined well on the left wing, but the Spaniard denied the goal with a trademark leg save, showcasing his readiness.

Despite efforts from both sides, neither team managed to break the deadlock. The goalless draw reflects a hard-fought match but one lacking clear-cut scoring opportunities, with defenses largely prevailing over attacks.

The point gained by ACF Fiorentina is insufficient to guarantee mathematical safety in this Serie A matchday. The team will need to continue fighting in upcoming fixtures to secure their place in the top division, keeping the tension high for Viola supporters.
