Pre Match
Stefano Pioli had made a host of changes with the likes of Vincent Laurini, Maxi Olivera, Valentin Eysseric and Sebastian Cristoforo getting rare starts. The away side, were looking to gain a much needed victory as they attempt to Serie A.
First Half
Fiorentina started the game brilliantly, and Giovanni Simeone who hadn’t scored in the last eight matches ended his drought. The Argentine pounced after Alex Cordaz parried Eysseric’s shot, Simeone was quick to react and put The Viola one up after three minutes.
Goal Fiorentina. Goal Simeone.
