Hellas Verona 0-2 Fiorentina: Instant reaction

• Pre-match thoughts: .
  
  
• After back to back league defeats; albeit against tough opposition Fiorentina needed to get back into the winning habit against Hellas Verona
  
  
• The news that in form Marcos Alonso was still not fit was a blow for the viola, 
  
  
• Half-time thoughts:
  
  
• Fiorentina went in at the break 1-0 up. The goal was credited as a Rafa Marquez OG, but there was good work from Manuel Pasqual and Nikola Kalinic to force the error
  
  
• Pasqual looked to be taking on the role of Alonso nicely, supplying accurate crosses from the left
  
  
• Although dominating the play, the viola need a second goal to ensure that the game is killed off
  
  
• Full-time thoughts:
• After the second goal, Hellas seemed resigned to their fate and the game went extremely flat. On the basis of this display, they are going to struggle to avoid relegtion
• The fans of the twinned teams created a superb atmosphere at the Bentegodi, despite the relatively dull display on the pitch
• Fiorentina got the job done and returned to winning ways. Onwards!
