Conference League: Fiorentina falls in Cyprus

Ugly defeat for Raffaele Palladino’s Fiorentina in the Conference League: the Viola were beaten 2-1 in Cyprus by APOEL'APOEL. For the liliati è the first defeat in the third European competition after victories in the first two matches: they are now eighth in the standings with 6 points.

Ugly first half for the Tuscan team, pierced at 37' by Donis and in the recovery minutes by Abagna. A heavy one-two that Fiorentina struggled to digest: in the second half Palladino immediately inserted Beltran, then Dodo, Ranieri and Bove, but his team built little in attack.

In 73'Ikoné with a personal flick finds the 2-1 that reopens the game, but in the last quarter of an hour Fiorentina rarely finds the goal and the Cypriots bring home a valuable victory.
