Belenenses Fiorentina: Instant Reaction

• Pre-match thoughts: .
• The stadium in Lisbon is in a unique position - the travelling Fiorentina fans can see the sea from their seats. The stadium is fairly empty with only about 5,000 home fans
  
  
• Sousa opted for an attacking formation with Federico Bernardeschi, Giuseppe Rossi, Khouma Babacar and Ante Rebic in the attack
• Half-time thoughts:
  
  
• Fiorentina go in at the break 2-0 to the good looking totally dominant with goals from Bernadeschi and Babacar
  
  
• Belenenses offered very little except for a couple of chances from Kuka, who headed against the post on 35' and forced a Luigi Sepe save on 46'
  
  
• Full-time thoughts:
• This was a fairly dull game, but Fiorentina got the job done and never really looked troubled by Belenenses.
• A whipped in Kuba cross forced an own goal from Tonel on the 83rd minute.
• Aside from the victory, the main positive to take from the game was the last minute goal from Giuseppe Rossi!
• Eight goals in two games for the viola continues the feeling of confidence heading into the game with Atalanta on Sunday

Goals:  Bernardeschi 18', Babacar 45' Tonel OG 83' Rossi 90'
