Guimaraes (Portugal), 19 December 2024 – Un goal by Mandragora in the 86th minute allows the Fiorentina to avoid defeat at home Vitoria Guimaraes and to ensure direct passage to the round of 16 of Conference League. He fails to achieve the goal of overtaking the Portuguese to fly to second place, pushing Chelsea away from the obstacle until the eventual final. Fiorentina arrives third in the preliminary round.
It’s not a good Fiorentina, the first half was very bad for Viola and large parts of the second half (in addition to Gustavo Silva’s goal, the Portuguese could have scored others) then in the final, also thanks to the changes of Palladinothe Viola created chances until Mandragora equalized from Dodo’s cross. Gudmundsson isn’t very convincing, Kouame fights but makes a mess, Quarta and Comuzzo (but also Terracciano) do poorly on the Portuguese goal. Then in the second half after having had opportunities with Beltran (very generous) and Kean the lilies equalized with Mandragora.
