Match Report
Nicolò Fagioli struck in the 82nd minute to earn Fiorentina a priceless 1-0 win at Verona in a heated Serie A relegation battle. The midfielder swept home first-time from 14 yards after a neat lay-off from Jack Harrison, though the home side were left fuming — the referee had stopped play for a Fagioli injury just moments earlier.
Tempers exploded three minutes later as Verona's Tomas Suslov and Fiorentina's Albert Gudmundsson were both red-carded after a brawl that left them with ripped jerseys. David De Gea was outstanding in the visiting goal, producing a stunning one-handed save to deny Bernede and clawing away a Gift Orban effort from under the crossbar.
The win lifts Fiorentina above Cagliari and out of the relegation places, while Verona remain joint-bottom with Pisa and staring at the drop.
