Final result: Fiorentina – LASK 7-0
Martinelli 6.5 – Making his debut this season and at Franchi, he must immediately put aside any shyness: reactive and lucky in blocking Entrup. Save that has weight.
Kayode 6 – The opening action comes from his initiative, but immediately afterwards he almost gives up the equalizer with a patatrac. A little confusing, but positive.
Martinez Fourth 6.5 – He contributed to the defense’s evening of calm by not committing any truly noteworthy errors. In the end he is booked.
Ranieri 6.5 – 45 minutes on the pitch in which he handed over the armband to the returning Quarta. Nothing to declare in the defensive phase, he would also have sent Ikone through on goal.
From 46′ Moreno 6.5 – Probably the best piece of the match played so far against Fiorentina, he makes very little or no mistakes.
Parisi 7 – He keeps alive a long cross from Kayode and makes the assist for 1-0, later recovering the ball for the fifth goal. The controversies of the last few hours have not affected him.
Richardson 7 – He decides to take the reins of the midfield from the first balls he touches, embellishing his performance with his first goal as a Fiorentina player.
From 76′ Harder sv.
Mandragora 7 – He finds a starting place again with the arrival of Europe, his sensors are turned on and he plays an excellent performance, elevated by his team’s fifth goal.
Ikone 7 – Maybe it’s because in this first phase the level of challenges is often less high, but he gives further proof of his being a Conference man by scoring the 2-0.
From 68′ Colpani 6.5 – Thrown in with the clear intention of making him regain his confidence and play, he causes Stojkovic’s own goal to make it 6-0.
Kouame 7.5 – He starts as an attacking midfielder and ends up as a nine, it’s not just generosity but also all-round quality. He doesn’t score but it’s as if he scored more than one.
Thin 8 – The recent condition resulted in a night as an absolute protagonist. The contribution goes even beyond the two goals with assists that can be seen on the scoresheet.
From 61′ Beltran 6.5 – He gets the penalty that Gudmundsson will score, confirming that he is having a good period of form.
Kean 6 – He has a conflicting relationship with goals: the first possible goal is taken away from him by VAR, a second chance is created but it hits the crossbar. He will go out without scoring.
From 61′ Gudmundsson 7.5 – He enters a match situation already addressed but makes us feel how important his contribution can be. An assist and the penalty.
Raffaele Palladino 8 – Clear objective: three points to avoid complicating the last 90 minutes, the rotation is there but it is not integral. The team gets the message and the game goes downhill straight away, effectively ending already at half-time. From there begins a management of the forces in view of Bologna, with further rounding and celebrations.
LASK (edited by Filippo D’Angelo)
Jungwirth 4 – He opens the evening with a naivety, which paves the way for Kean’s goal which was later canceled out by VAR. The defense certainly doesn’t help him but it almost never gives security to its defensive department, conceding seven goals.
Bogarde 5 – Sottil finds immense space in his area and he isn’t even helped by Stojkovic. Really bad match, which ended already at the end of the first half.
From 46′ Horvath 4.5 – Called in to lend a hand, he makes too many mistakes including the one that leads to Mandragora’s 5-0.
Talovierov 4 – By far the worst on the pitch. He has great responsibility for almost all the goals conceded by LASK Linz, who danced excessively in defense leaving plenty of spaces, exploited properly by Fiorentina.
Smolcic 4 – He tries to patch up on some occasions but the defense led by him and Talovierov took too many hits from the Viola attackers, who did what they wanted in the offensive zone.
Handsome 4 – He particularly suffers from Ikoné’s insertions and also falls asleep on the action that leads to the third Viola goal, given that Richardson takes his time without problems.
Stojkovic 4 – His evening is really complicated, as is the case with the rest of LASK Linz. He commits a lot of fouls and is often out of time. A few minutes into the ninetieth minute he was also unlucky, as he achieved the temporary 6-0 with an unfortunate own goal.
Jovicic 5 – Fiorentina always kept control of the game, dominating in a midfield where they had great difficulties especially when pressing Mandragora.
Zulj 5 – One of those who perhaps could have been saved on such a bad evening. He also looks for some solution towards the door but only pure illusion.
Berisha 5 – Not very incisive, out of time and decidedly out of ideas against a Fiorentina who dominated from the first to the last minute.
Entrup 4.5 – In the first half he came very close to scoring, denied first by Martinelli and then by the crossbar. But apart from this great chance he really struggles against the Fiorentina defenders.
From 53′ Ljubicic 5 – It is practically never seen. Entry poor in content and quality.
Flecker 4.5 – He is barely noticeable in the offensive phase and with time almost up he concedes a penalty to Fiorentina, who then scores the 7-0 thanks to Gudmundsson.
Markus Schopp 4 – Clearly Fiorentina were superior from a technical and tactical point of view. The defeat was probably acceptable in the face of at least a sufficient performance. But this evening his LASK Linz made a terrible impression at the Franchi.
