Lazovic’s penalty
Hellas started with determination and in the 13th minute took the lead through a penalty with Lazovic. The penalty is clear, with Christensen who messes up on the exit and knocks out Noslin. Verona is ahead and insists: Bonazzoli comes close to doubling the lead with an insertion and a conclusion that goes just wide. Fiorentina responded with Barak’s header deflected over the crossbar by Montipò. Then it’s Castrovilli who sends the ball to the post. Nzola appears in front of Montipò, who counters the shot. Hellas had to move back to be seen again with Bonazzoli, whose attempt was blocked by Christensen. Fiorentina scores the 1-1 goal in the 42nd minute with Castrovilli, who passes Montipò with a shot from inside the area. At the end of the first half it was a draw.
Noslin’s doubling
At the start of the second half, Baroni takes off Bonazzoli to put on Swiderski. Hellas pushes and scores in the 14th minute with Noslin, who places a shot on goal. New change in Verona, with Tchatchoua for Vinagre, while in Fiorentina there are Bonaventura for Duncan and Kouame for Castrovilli. Below, among the Viola, Ikoné out for Beltra and Lopez for Mandragora. In Hellas, Suslov replaces Lazovic. Fiorentina takes meters, Nzola shoots high.
