20 April 2021 Three excellent points for Fiorentina in terms of salvation.
The viola conquer the 'Bentegodi' in the advance of the midweek round (thirty-second day) beating Verona 2-1 and climb to 33 points, or +8 on the third last.
The goal of eighth place becomes complicated for the Scaligeri.
Barak and Bessa behind Lasagna in Juric's 4-3-2-1. Iachini with Ribery and Vlahovic forwards in 3-5-2. Viola a little more cautious, however, it is their first chance with Vlahovic's blow over the crossbar. Verona responds with Lasagna who forces Dragowski to a corner with a powerful diagonal. Right on the corner, the same Lasagna crushes his head and Venuti saves on the goal line. Dragowski is still ready on Lazovic. After half an hour the hosts slow down and Fiorentina comes out. Ribery, from a good position but slipping, engages Silvestri. Just at 45 ', great inspiration from Venuti on the right, a low cross and a veil from Ribery for Bonaventura, Barak is late and spreads the viola. A penalty that Vlahovic transforms coldly.
Start of recovery with Verona on the attack, but the yellow and blue are struggling a lot to find glimmers. So much so that Silvestri is a great protagonist in keeping them afloat, with a feline reflection on a deviation under the door. Juric inserts Salcedo for Ilic in order to spice up the attack. But it is Fiorentina to strike again: Pulgar's free-kick from the wing, rejected short of the defense, Caceres bursts from ten meters and gives Silvestri no escape (65 '). Closed game, indeed no. Verona is in difficulty, however, with three changes (inside Zaccagni, Sturaro and Magnani) they find a way to get back in the running. At 72 'cross by Zaccagni for Pharaohs who makes an aerial bank towards Salcedo, undisturbed to bag his head. Fiorentina does not break down.Iachini allows himself some substitutions to keep the field with greater freshness (Igor to strengthen the defense, Castrovilli in midfield) and does not risk anything.
