Incredible! AS Roma not only losing the home game at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium, but also eliminated in Coppa Italia by Fiorentina! Yep, Fiorentina causing a big upset to the Roman gladiators on Tuesday 3 February 2015. Fiorentina will play the Coppa Italia Semifinal against Juventus. Roma are out….. fans protesting and not happy with the team.
A great victory for the ex AS Roma forward Vincenzo Montella now coaching Fiorentina. Hero for Fiorentina is forward Mario Gomez scoring both goals in the 65th and 88th minute. Certainly, Fiorentina president Della Valle and fans celebrating on their way back to Florence.
