Bad coverage, stupid analysis, and pointless jokes about Fiorentina on behalf of SB Nation. Not reading DMs.

I believe "Fiorentina" is actually Norse for "play really well until the key moments of your season"

The obvious conclusion is that Fiorentina is a pretty good Champions League-level team.
A historic night in Lens! ⏹️

The biggest question he's left unanswered is what we're supposed to call him. Pedro? Pedro Gonçalves? Pote? violanation.com/fiorentina-h…

Feels very Fiorentina to win on a Monday when many of us have to work for another few hours but 3 points is 3 points so I ain't complaining. This is Tito signing off. I love you all.

Dodô scoops up Njie and carries him over to the traveling fans on his shoulders. Man, I love that little guy.

That's the triple blast. Fiorentina comes away with a 2-4 win. Execrable first half but showed a lot of character to win this one and get the first victory since September.

AND THERE IT IS THE CHERRY ON TOP OF AN OGNISSANTI SUNDAE CLINICAL BREAK SUPERB PASS BY NDOUR AND IT'S VÍCTOR VALDEPEÑAS OF ALL PEOPLE WHO GETS THE TAP-IN FOR HIS FIRST FIORENTINA GOAL AND PUTS THIS ONE TO BED

Deep into stoppage time and we're done. Pote involved again. Guy might be man of the match despite playing just 15 minutes. Created more in a quarter hour than the rest of the team did in 75 minutes.

Insane. Fiorentina gets a 4-v-2 break but Gnonto somehow forgets the ball. Recovers it and eventually Pote gets it on the right and swings an inch-perfect cross to Beto, who takes a touch and has his shot blocked. Cripes.

89' Valdepeñas on for Mastantuono. João Mário moving forward a line, presumably, with Valde dropping to LB.

85' Beto rips one well over the bar. Wouldn't mind making one of these counters count because I'm convinced this bozo Viola defense is going to leak one more.

79' That Lusophone left wing worked. João Mário carries the ball forward and slides it infield to Pote, who squares it for Mastantuono to take first time in stride and place just inside the post. Clinical.

Mastantuono into the middle. Gnonto to the right. Wouldn't mind seeing Pote as the 10 but Vanoli clearly seems something else in him.

77' Beto and Pote for Brescianini and Pellegrino. One sub left.
