FIRENZE (ITALPRESS) – Fiorentina loses its second consecutive race in the unique group of Conference League: the violas give 1-0 to the Aek Athens, to decide is Gacinovic at 38′ of the first time. A disappointing test for the Tuscans that beyond three goals canceled, of which two millimeters, commit so many failures and are pardoned by the Greeks several times, with the guests who have their only fault not to close the race first.
From the beginning of the game you understand that for the hosts will not be a simple evening. The very dense midfield of the Greeks often puts the gigliati in difficulty, but are above all the incursions of Pilios in the area to create disembarkations to the defense of the violets. Fatiguely the median line sent to the field by Vanoli with Nicolussi Caviglia slow and improvised, with the few initiatives of Fiorentina that fail especially for the poor reactivity of Dzeko as at 8 on launch of Ranieri or at 17′ when a cross of Parisi asked only to be put on the net. One minute later comes the possible advantage of the violas created by Gudmundsson after an incorrect rejection of Strakosha on the conclusion of Ndour but the Icelandic is out of play.
At 35′ the Aek network with Gacinovic, good to collect a sped by Jovic after cross from the left of Pineda. In the first half final another goal canceled at the Fiorentina marked by Mandragora for Dzeko’s playoff. Gigliati can perhaps boast a small European record if it is true that at 56′ you can see cancel the third network of the evening, still for offplay, this time for offside of Luca Ranieri. Shortly after Vanoli decides to play everything for everything: outside Kouadio for Parisi but especially Kean for Ndour, with passage to 3-4-1-2. The response of the Aek Athens is all in a pole of the newly entered Zini to 72′ with ball dancing dangerously on the door line and then comes out. The draw of the poles arrives 4′ later when Dzeko hits the cross, which shortly anticipates the miracle of De Gea on a pallonetto of Jovic. The Fiorentina final is confused, so that Strakosha doesn’t even have to take a parade. Thus the Aek Athens wins, for Vanoli’s team there are only whistles.
