Good news, Fiorentina celebrates its 98th anniversary by securing qualification! Fiorentina continue their journey in the new Conference League winning on penalties against Puskas Akademia on Thursday 29 August 2024.
Fiorentina battled with nine players against eleven. First, the Viola initially took the lead with a goal from Kean, but Nagy equalized with a penalty. Moreover, the Viola held strong with just nine players (due to red cards for Ranieri and Comuzzo). In the end, they owe their victory to their goalkeeper. Having reached the finals in the last two editions, they faced heartbreak at the most crucial moments under the leadership of Vincenzo Italiano. The Viola was propelled by a goal from Kean and some incredible saves from De Gea.
Following a tense 3-3 draw at the Franchi, Raffaele Palladino’s squad managed a 1-1 draw in Hungary against Puskas Akademia in the return leg of the preliminary round.
In sum, the Viola converted all their penalties, and De Gea once again proved to be a game-changer, mesmerizing Szolnoki on the fourth penalty and securing their qualification.
