Fiorentina falling at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. A miraculous victory for Hellas Verona seeing their hope for salvation closer. It’s a historical victory for Verona not winning at the Franchi since October 21, 2001!!!! This lost is a step back for Fiorentina because they might lose their chances for the Europa League next season considering we have only 7 more games.
Hellas Verona opening the score with midfielder Mounir Obbadi defeating Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.
Fiorentina could have taken the lead in the 67th minute when Referee Mazzoleni granted a penalty conceded by Goalkeeper Rafael after a foul on Fiorentina forward Alberto Gilardino. Yet, Rafael saved the left footed shot in the bottom right corner by forward Alessandro Diamanti. A blow! A cold shower!
