Miracle Fiorentina: nine qualify for the Conference League rounds
At the Pancho Arena in Felcsut, Fiorentina, reduced to 9 against 11, qualified for the Conference League group stage by beating Puskas Akademia 6-5 after penalty kicks.
The Viola took the lead in 59’ with Kean forcefully jumping over a man and when he got to the edge of the area he pierced Pecsi with a right-footed shot. On 94’ a penalty was awarded to the Magyars for a foul on Colley by Ranieri, who was sent off for double admonition. Three minutes later, Nagy from the penalty spot clears De Gea.
