Verona – Great blow in the perspective salvation of Hellas Verona who, at Bentegodi, surpasses Fiorentina 1-0, in the match valid for the twenty-sixth day of the Serie A 2024/2025 championship: a goal by Antoine Bernede decisive in full recovery. For the lilies of Mr. Palladino third consecutive defeat and also moments of apprehension for the conditions by Moise Keanforced to go out on a stretcher. The Viola formation tries to start immediately strong, with a conclusion by Kean after 4 ‘who is diverted to the corner by Montipò. The game rhythms are quite low, with the two teams who prefer to enjoy a long study phase. At 20 ‘Folorunshi lets a cross start for Zaniolo, but Montipò anticipates him out and blocks the sphere. Three minutes later, Hellas Verona builds its first opportunity from the net with Sarr who kicks from outside the area, but De Gea deflects in the corner. In half an hour, the hosts are still taking forward in search of the goal, but they cannot create particular dangers from the parts of the Spanish goalkeeper. At 39 ‘Cataldi has a chance of punishment from a good position, but his shot is walled from the barrier.
Paolo Zanetti’s boys close a first half not exciting in the opposing half of the field, but the score is not unlocked: we go to rest on the partial of 0-0. In the second half, the Gialloblù always attack with greater conviction, but the match phase is very chopped and does not favor the construction of the game by the two teams. At 65 ‘all Bentegodi lives moments of fear because Kean, after being medicated following a game clash, collapses on the ground. However, the attacker appeared conscious, is rescued by the health workers and then taken away by ambulance. The game resumes and at 70 ‘the boys of Zanetti go close to the goal of the advantage with a header by Dawidowicz on Faraoni’s cross, who touches the pole. The inertia of the race seems slightly in favor of the Scaligeri who, dragged by an excellent Suslov, try until the end to win it. Fiorentina, for its part, foves every threat mainly thanks to the precious closings signed by Comuzzo and Dodò. When the match now seems destined to end 0-0, Niase recovers the ball and serves Mosqura, who looks for Antoine Bernede: The midfielder, coldly, skips an opponent and deposits the ball on the net which is worth the definitive 1-0. Hellas rises to 14th place with 26 points, while Fiorentina remains sixth at 42.
