  Thirteen minutes after Pulisic equalised, Fiorentina restored their lead as Albert Gudmundsson netted the winning goal for his side. After the match, questions were raised over Fonseca's decision to replace the team's best player on the pitch when the club was trailing. He explained that it was a prudent decision to protect the American from serious injury.
