Cagliari, 23 Apr (LaPresse) – Despite the absence of Kean, Fiorentina defeated Cagliari 2-1 in the second leg of the 33rd Serie A match. Three heavy points for the Viola, who move up to 56 points in the standings, -3 from fifth place, which is worth a place in the Europa League. A bloody defeat, on the other hand, for the Sardinians, who remain stuck on 30 points, +5 on Venezia and Empoli and with salvation still to be achieved. The result unblocked in the 7th minute, Piccoli scoring after a short clearance by De Gea. Gosens in the 36th minute scored the equalizer past Caprile with an angled left-footer. At the start of the second half it was Beltran who completed the comeback, scoring the 2-1 goal with a winning header from Dodò's cross. In the final minutes, Cagliari made themselves dangerous with Marina, but De Gea thwarted. Fiorentina, on the other hand, came close to getting their third on the counter-attack with Zaniolo, but Caprile was not surprised. Nothing more happened in the final. In the next round, Cagliari will have a decisive away match against Verona, while Fiorentina will face Empoli at home in the Tuscan derby.
