UECL | Jagiellonia 0-3 Fiorentina: Viola on fire with big play-off victory | OneFootball

Fiorentina have one foot in the Conference League last 16 after their 3-0 play-off victory away to Jagiellonia, with Luca Ranieri, Rolando Mandragora and Roberto Piccoli goals.

The Viola made the trip to Bialystok without injured David De Gea, Moise Kean, Dodo, Manor Solomon and Albert Gudmundsson, while Marco Brescianini, Oliver Christensen and Daniele Rugani are cup-tied. Luca Lezzerini therefore made his second UEFA appearance, after a 3-2 defeat to PAOK in November 2016. Jagiellonia were missing suspended top scorer Afimico Pululu and midfielder Taras Romanczuk, who will return for the second leg on February 26.

See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.

Nicolò Fortini risked an own goal getting into a terrible tangle dealing with the taught and low Jesus Imaz cross from the right.

Giovanni Fabbian’s cushioned volley with the inside of the boot on a Rolando Mandragora cross was well smothered by the local goalkeeper.

Fiorentina had a big chance on the stroke of half-time, as Fabbian controlled a cross from the left and hit the half-volley from 12 yards, forcing a tricky save at the base of the near post.

Cher Ndour also had two good efforts charged down, then on the resulting corner Jacopo Fazzini stood up a cross to the back post for Luca Ranieri’s header, bending back the goalkeeper’s gloves from a tight angle to give Fiorentina the lead.

Samed Bazdar nodded wide from a corner at the other end, but it was nearly 2-0 when the referee played the advantage after a foul and Fazzini dribbled into the area, but fired straight at the on-rushing goalkeeper.

Jagiellonia had the ball in the net when it was rolled across from the right, but Bartlomiej Wdowik was offside when sweeping in from close range.

Moments later, a Wdowik free kick bent around the wall and bounced off the base of the far post, beyond Lezzerini’s fingertips.

Instead, Fiorentina doubled their lead with a sensational Mandragora free kick into the top corner from just outside the box, laser-focused with the midfielder’s left foot.

Fazzini was cut off after a slalom past two defenders, but Piccoli was felled by Dawid Drachal on the rebound for a penalty. Piccoli converted it himself to give the Viola a 3-0 lead in Poland.
