Already at the beginning of the match, the opornik Ismael Bennasser violated the rules in his own penalty area, and Eric Pulgar calmly realized a penalty.
In the second half, “defender” “helped” the defender Mateo Musaccio, who received an optional red card. After that, Fiorentina scored twice more. Including managed to distinguish eminent veteran Frank Ribery. The score could be even larger, but Federico Chiesa did not realize a penalty.

The hard victory of Vitesse
For Russian fans, the fifth European victory of Vitesse under the leadership of Leonid Slutsky in the Dutch Championships became the main event of the day in European football.
