Fibrentina, after a 3-0 win in the first leg, also won in Reggio Emilia by 3-2 the return match of the last qualifying round of the Conference League group stage against the Ukrainians of Polissya Zhytomyr.

Unbelievably, the Viola conceded two goals in the first 14 minutes: in the 2nd minute Comuzzo’s mistake in the box, who in controlling the ball put it back inside with De Gea coming out, Nazarenko arrived and scored an empty goal.

In the 14th minute cross from the right by Costa, header to clear Pablo Mari but the ball ends up to Andriyevskyi who from outside the area volleyed a shot that surprised De Gea. The first shot toward the goal of Pioli’s team, albeit unsuccessful, comes after 39 minutes.

In the second half, the coach inserted Gosens and Gudmundsson for Parisi and Ndour also to give more support to Dzeko and in the 78th minute they finally narrowed the gap with Gosens scoring right on an assist from Gosens by running the ball under Kudryk’s legs.

At’84’ Gudmundsson’s corner, Gosens’s spurt and the ball reaching Ranieri, who had just entered for Viti, who made it 2-2 under goal. At’89’ the reversal is complete: another Gudmundsson corner, Ranieri’s spike for Dzeko who from an inch puts in.
