Hellas Verona – Fiorentina 2:1, Verona footballers beat Fiorentina and came close to salvation

Lazovič gave Verona the lead from the penalty spot, and the Dutchman Noslin answered Castrovilli’s equalizer just before the break in the second half. Hellas have won the second of their last three league games and are five points clear of the relegation zone with three rounds to go. Fiorentina, on the other hand, did not take advantage of the hesitation of the seventh Lazio and did not come close to the cup ranks. They lose six points to the Roman team, but they have a good game to play. However, the team from Florence can ensure participation in Europe by winning the European Conference League, in the semifinals of which they beat Bruges 3:2 in the first match.

In Milan, it was played in an unusually intimate atmosphere. The home supporters declared a boycott due to disagreements with the club’s management. The silence at the San Siro in the fifth minute was intensified by the goal of Genovese striker Retegui from the penalty spot. The “Rossoneri” were able to equalize just before halftime thanks to Florenzi. The Italian defender made his mark in the top competition for the first time in 728 days. Shortly after the start of the second act, Ekuban sent the guests into the lead again.

The home team equalized again in the 72nd minute when Gabbia headed in a corner, and three minutes later Giroud even turned the score around with his 14th goal of the season. Three minutes before the end of regular time, however, Thorsby’s cross was knocked into Thiaw’s own net. AC Milan already has a certain participation in the next year of the Champions League, Genoa is twelfth and is not concerned with the fight for salvation or for the cup rungs.

The rescue battle between Empoli and Frosinone ended in a goalless draw. Both teams are just three points above the relegation zone and Udine, which is just below it, still has Monday’s play-off with Napoli ahead of it.
