Scoring for Viola: Cabral (4′), Gonzalez (41′), Bonaventura (58′) and Ikoné (63′). Velde scored the goal for the Poles in the 20th minute. Practically perfect match for the Italian team
Fiorentina, act of force in Poland. The Italian team, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Conference League, annihilates Lech Poznan 4-1 and mortgages the semi-final. A practically perfect match that of the Italian team. A shot of adrenaline!
so in the field
—
The Viola have not lost a game since February 12 (against Juve), in the league they are coming off 7 consecutive useful results, 5 wins and 2 draws. Lech are holders in Poland, but currently third in the table, behind Rakow and Legia. The Italian doesn’t change his 4-3-3, with Cabral, preferred to Jovic, an offensive point of reference, ready to strike. With him, here is Gonzalez on the right out, Bonaventura and Brekalo on the left. In defense, without Martinez Quarta, the coach focuses on Ranieri and not on Igor. Van den Brom instead chooses the 3-5-2 with the attacking tandem formed by Marchwinski and the former Crotone and Parma player the Swede Ishak who has already raked in 20 goals in all competitions and 8 assists this season.
NOW FORWARD
—
Ready go. And Fiorentina stuns Lech. Nico Gonzalez receives the ball on the right, centers and from the edge he lets out a poisonous left-footed foot that hits the post and then ends up on Bednarek’s back. But there is Cabral lurking and from a decentralized position he manages to throw it in with a left foot. For the Brazilian it is the tenth goal in 2023 among all competitions, in Serie A only Osimhen (15 goals) has done better than him. It’s only 4′ and Viola is already ahead. The Italian team after the goal continues its pressure, keeping the center of gravity high. Amrabat acts as a dam and filter, Bonaventura weaves and Gonzalez is ready to concentrate and sting. And in the 20th minute it was Brekalo, in his first real leading match in the purple shirt, with a blow from the edge to hit the full post! But on the immediate reversal in front of the Poles, Ishak heads the bank for Velde who releases his very powerful right foot and beats Terraciano. Lech drew.
Gonzalez plays the ram
—
Now the pace slows down and the race becomes more tactical. Dodo on the right wing is more concerned with defending than with attacking and for this reason he is recalled by Italiano. But Fiorentina is there and is ready to strike. In the 41st minute, Biraghi, up to that moment not very dangerous, bowled a millimeter cross from the left for Gonzalez, the Argentine attacked the ball in the area, released and headed in mocking Bednarek. But he doesn’t end there. Because at the end of the first half Cabral, again him, shoots high, sliding, a stone’s throw from the goal. It would have been the knockout blow.
Jack hits three of a kind, then comes four of a kind

A few minutes into the second half, Italiano recalls Gonzalez who comes out in pain from a blow to his knee. Instead of him here is Ikoné. Lech tries to pick up the pace. But Fiorentina is orderly in defense with Milenkovic enthralling and responds blow for blow. In the 58th minute Ikoné gets his shot blocked in the area, Bonaventura is there in tow and shoots straight into the top corner, what a goal! For Jack it is the fifth goal of the season, 12 in total with the Fiorentina shirt. But there’s more. Because the Italian team is not satisfied. And a handful of minutes later poker falls. Ikoné receives from Milenkovic and does it all by himself, reaches the edge of the area and leaves the Lech goalkeeper no way out with his left plate. In the final, Italiano throws in Jovic in place of an exhausted Cabral (the two embrace warmly at the time of substitution) and Castrovilli in place of Bonaventura. Shortly after, Sottil enters for Brekalo and Barak for Mandragora. Fresh forces. But nothing happens anymore, Fiorentina has already done everything and more.
