😳 Orban sinks Fiorentina 😱 Heartbreak in the 93rd minute, ninth defeat | OneFootball

Fiorentina loses 2-1 in the 93rd minute against Verona: a brace from Orban (42' and 93') nullifies the temporary equalizer from Nunez's own goal (69'), which came from an attacking move by Kean.

The Viola remain at the bottom of the table: 9 defeats in 15 matches and even 8 points away from the safety zone. Their last Serie A win was almost 7 months ago.

The Fiorentina fans made themselves heard after the final whistle, with protests and even some tears in the stands at the Franchi.

⚽️ Kean gives it a try

Moise Kean comes into this match riding the wave of his goal against Dinamo Kiev, and he definitely starts the game with a much different attitude compared to previous performances.

However, nothing comes of it: in the 18th minute the striker shoots from the edge of the box, but sends it over the crossbar; in the 28th minute he has a great chance in the box, but shoots the ball straight at Montipò.

A minute later, from a corner, another chance, but this time he heads it way over the bar.

🤕 Giovane falls badly, but Verona lands well

In the 34th minute, a blow for Zanetti: Giovane jumps to head the ball and lands badly, twisting his ankle. 

The Verona striker is forced to leave the field early, replaced by Gift Orban.

Bittersweet news for Verona, as it is Orban himself who breaks the deadlock, finishing off a counterattack and beating De Gea for his third goal of the season.

A goal with responsibility on both Ranieri, who was out of position on the pass that set up Orban, and De Gea, who left the goal wide open for the Verona player's long-range shot.

At the end of the first half, the clouds continue to gather over Fiorentina's fate.

💪🏻 Mandragora rallies his team: "Everyone in the box"

At the end of halftime, in the tunnel waiting to return to the pitch, Mandragora tries to fire up his Fiorentina teammates: "Let's all get in the box."

❌ Ranieri hits the crossbar, Kean gets angry

Fiorentina desperately searches for an equalizer from the very first minutes of the second half. The first chance comes from Luca Ranieri's head, but he hits the top of the crossbar.

In the 55th minute, a dangerous counterattack by the Viola: Sohm carries the ball, Kean looks for position, but there's yet another wrong decision and some frustration from Kean for not receiving the ball properly.

Good effort instead from Fagioli, who forces Montipò into a good save with a long-range shot.

😳 Fagioli-Kean, but in the end it's an own goal

Fagioli is actually the best on his team, and in the 67th minute he delivers a great ball to Kean, who chips Montipò with a lob.

General shivers at the Franchi, but the ball goes just wide.

A near-identical play a few minutes later, with another long ball from Fagioli to Kean: this time the ball ricochets off Unai Nunez, resulting in an own goal by the Verona player after Montipò's save.

The match is now tied, with Fiorentina starting to believe again, buoyed by the support of the Franchi crowd.

😡 Zanetti's fury, sent off

Tense finale, with Verona out of substitutions and on their last legs, and Fiorentina trying everything to snatch their first win from the Scaligeri.

The tension is palpable on the pitch: yellow card for protesting to Belghali, while Zanetti receives his second yellow and is sent off.

🤯 Orban, the coup de grâce

Incredible ending: deep into stoppage time, Gift Orban, after wasting two counterattack chances, finds the goal that knocks out Fiorentina.

Assist from Bernede (who had an excellent game) from the byline, and all Orban has to do is finish it off.

A few moments waiting for the goal to be confirmed, to check that the ball hadn't gone out of play before Bernede's assist.

Fiorentina hasn't won in Serie A since last May 25: if they don't get a win against Udinese next Sunday, it will be 7 months without a victory by Christmas.

Protests and boos for the Viola from the fans, even though the crowd had supported the team until the end.

A truly desperate situation and tears in the stands.
