VERONA (ITALPRESS) – Great blow in view of salvation for Hellas Verona that, at the Bentegodi, overcame Fiorentina 1-0, in the match valid for the 26th day of the 2024/2025 Serie A championship: a goal by Antoine Bernede in full recovery was decisive. For the liliati of coach Palladino third consecutive defeat and also moments of apprehension for the condition of Moise Kean, forced to leave on a stretcher. The purple formation tries to start off strong right away, with a conclusion by Kean after 4′ that is deflected into the corner by Montipò. The pace of play turns out to be rather low, with the two teams preferring to indulge in a long study phase. On 20′ Folorunsho lets off a cross for Zaniolo, but Montipò anticipates him on the way out and blocks the ball. Three minutes later Hellas Verona builds its first chance on goal with Sarr who kicks from outside the box, but De Gea deflects it into a corner kick. On the half-hour mark, it is still the hosts who move forward in search of a goal, but they fail to create any particular danger from the Spanish goalkeeper’s sides. On 39′ Cataldi has a chance on a free kick from a good position, but his shot is bricked by the barrier. Paolo Zanetti’s boys close an unexciting first half in the opponent’s half, but the score is not unlocked: they go to rest on the 0-0 scoreline. In the second half it is always the gialloblù to attack with more conviction, but the phase of the match is very broken up and does not favor the construction of the game by the two teams. At 65′ the whole Bentegodi experienced moments of fear as Kean, after being medicated following a clash of play, collapsed to the ground. The striker, who nevertheless appeared conscious, is rescued by the medical staff and then taken away in an ambulance. The game resumed and at 70′ Zanetti’s boys went close to scoring the winning goal with a header by Dawidowicz off a cross from Faraoni, which grazed the post. The inertia of the match seems slightly in favor of the Scaligeri who, dragged by an excellent Suslov, try until the end to win it. Fiorentina, for its part, foils every threat mainly thanks to the valuable closures signed by Comuzzo and Dodò. When the match seems doomed to end 0-0, Niasse recovers the ball and serves Mosquera, who looks for Antoine Bernede: the midfielder, with coolness, skips an opponent and deposits in the net the ball that is worth the final 1-0. Hellas climbs to 14th place with 26 points, while Fiorentina remains sixth at 42. – Photo Image -(ITALPRESS).
