Three points signed Robin Gosens. Fiorentina wins their fourth consecutive victory in the championship narrowly beating Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa at the “Ferraris”.. A first half of the match with few opportunities with the hosts starting strong but then the Viola began to raise their center of gravity but Richardson’s long-range shot was safely blocked for a corner by De Gea. At the half hour mark, Sottil tries but Vasquez opposes with his body.
The second half opens with a risk for the Viola: Martinez Quarta lets Ekhator take his time and shoots with first intention in front of De Gea but the ball ends up very high. In the 72nd minute Beltran brushes a ball towards the center of the area with Gosens is able to take advantage of a counterattack and kick behind Leali. In the final, Palladino’s team manages to contain their opponents’ outbursts thanks also to De Gea, who overcomes Pinamonti.
At the end of the match, the coach Raffaele Palladino commented in the press room: “It was a hard-fought and dirty victory. It was a difficult match. I want to congratulate Genoa and their fans because today it was very difficult to play in this stadium with a crowd that encouraged the his players. It was a dirty match, they put us in difficulty in the second balls but these are the victories that give you satisfaction. We needed a victory like this, the victories that make us grow and give us great morale and awareness”.
