Heart And Soul - Fiorentina 2-2 Torino

This was a play out game for Fiorentina and it's fans, with fourth place sealed up the week before and summer looming on the horizon. Both the team and the fans however, decided that the season wasn't quite over and both showed in force, with over 40,000 fans in the stand and Fiorentina fully focused to play Torino, who were playing to hold 6th place and a place in the Europa League.

Both squads put on a lively show, exchanging body blows with runs up and down the field, head shots, as they exchanged goals and finally the knock blow delivered by back up goalie Rosati as he blocked an Alessio Cerci penalty kick that would have sent the Torino outfit to Europe.

Guiseppe Rossi and Ante Rebic scored for the home team and former Viola Marcelo Larrando and Jasmin Kurtic scored for Torino
