Second half
Christian Kouamé scored for the second game in a row by running onto a thump from goalkeeper Ionuț Radu, taking a couple of touche, and lashing into the bottom corner when nobody tried to close him down.

Fiorentina got one back when Dalbert and ex-Viola man Romulo rather clumsily collided in the box and Erick Pulgar, for the second week running, sent the goalkeeper the wrong with his spot kick.
