Motivations prevail at Bentegodi and Verona prevails over Fiorentina. The Venetians beat the Tuscans 2-1 and make a fundamental leap in the fight not to be relegated. Baroni’s team rises to fourteenth place, with 34 points, 5 more than the Udinese-Sassuolo pair who at this moment would drop to Serie B. In an open and entertaining match, the goals came from Lazovic, from a penalty, Castrovilli and the usual Noslin . For the Viola, yet another defeat in a complicated season in Serie A: the Italian team remains eighth at 50 points but could return to the Conference League final this week.
THE COMPETITION – As expected, Verona goes full force and a purple mess paves the way for them. Misunderstanding between Christensen and Ranieri, Noslin takes advantage of it and is knocked down and earns a penalty. Darko Lazovic scores it: 1-0. The same winger serves Bonazzoli who almost doubles the lead. Fiorentina wakes up and comes close to equalizing first with Barake then with Castrovilli who hits the post. Best moment for the Tuscans: Montipò saves from Ikoné then Castrovilli, on Nzola’s serve, wins a rebound and volleys past Montipò. Fiorentina draws. We go to half-time at 1-1. Upon returning, the Venetians attack again and break through. Milenkovic sweeps at the feet of Noslin who, on the fly, scores Christensen: 2-1 and fourth goal in the championship for him. Italiano tries everything to equalize and puts all his guns into play. The best opportunity occurs on Nzola’s left foot but he shoots it into the corner. It ends 2-1 for Verona, another step towards salvation that at a certain point in the season seemed impossible.
