Pote runs riot for Fiorentina in 9-goal thriller, on loan from Sporting | OneFootball

Fiorentina took advantage of the break for international fixtures to play a friendly against Signa 1914, a team from the fifth tier of Italian football. Paolo Vanoli’s side had no trouble and cruised to a 9-0 win in a match played at the Rocco B. Commisso Viola Park.

Potestarted and needed just nine minutes to open the scoring. The Portuguese international, on loan from Sporting, appeared on the edge of the box to finish first-time with a low strike after a burst down the left by Willy Gnonto in Fiorentina’s attack.

Gnonto doubled the lead in the very next minute, but Fiorentina did not score again until after the break. In the 47th minute, Marco Brescianini made it 3-0 from a free-kick, before Mateo Pellegrino and Sulayman Jallow stretched the lead to 5-0 in the 57th and 66th minutes, respectively.

Jallow grabbed his second just seven minutes later, this time after an assist from João Mário. In the closing stages, Brando Mazzeo scored twice, in the 79th and 81st minutes, and Mario Pietropaolo completed the rout in the 83rd. For Pedro Gonçalves, it was another positive moment since arriving at his new club.

The player, officially unveiled less than a month ago, had already scored in the 3-0 win over Pisa on September 15, a result that secured the Italian side a place in the Coppa Italia round of 16. Now, Pote has found the net again and continues to push for a bigger role in Paolo Vanoli’s plans.
