📸 Fiorentina cruise 3-0 past Rapid, Ndour, Gud score, Dzeko makes history | OneFootball

Fiorentina can breathe easy: against Rapid Vienna comes a full and convincing 3-0 victory, only their second win of the season after the triumph over Sigma Olomuc in the previous Conference round.

An important win to maintain a perfect record in the competition and, at least for now, the top spot alone, but above all to silence critics and hope that the turning point, even in the league, is getting closer and closer.

🔥 NDOUR SCORES AGAIN IN THE CONFERENCE!

Not even 10 minutes into the match and Fiorentina immediately takes the lead with the young Italian Cher Ndour.

Edin Dzeko tries a powerful shot from a tight angle, central save by the Rapid Vienna goalkeeper and the ball lands at the feet of the 2004-born player. The rebound favors him and the Viola take advantage.

The former PSG player confirms a special feeling with Europe: he’s been involved in every goal scored by Fiorentina in the Conference League (2 goals and 1 assist).

👑 DZEKO DOUBLES THE LEAD, RECORD GOAL

At the start of the second half, Edin Dzeko doubles the lead, volleying home a cross from the right by Fortini.

Second start of the season for Dzeko in Viola colors: both have come in the Conference (the first in the qualifiers) and in both matches the Bosnian has found the net.

These are the only two goals scored by the former Roma and Inter striker since arriving in Florence.

This is goal number 67 for the Bosnian in a continental club competition: a figure that allows him to equal his idol Shevchenko in 9th place among the top scorers in UEFA competitions, just 2 behind Harry Kane and 3 behind Filippo Inzaghi.

At 39 years old, Edin Dzeko has thus become the oldest scorer in the history of the Conference League.

💥 GUDMUNDSSON SEALS THE GAME

In the final minutes comes the third goal, scored by Gudmundsson on an assist from Kouadio, who had just come on, with a blistering diagonal shot.

Second goal of the season for the Icelander, after the one scored in the Conference qualifiers. For the Viola, an important win to catch their breath after a decidedly poor start to the season.
