Fiorentina reach last 32
Marcos Alonso’s Fiorentina side progressed to the round of 32 in the Europe League last night after Khouma Babacar’s goal gave them a 1-0 win in Group I over Belenenses.
Paulo Sousa’s side was rarely troubled during the 90 minutes with Alonso’s header almost putting the Viola ahead but for the crossbar after a Joan Verdu corner.
On 67 minutes, Babacar pounced to book the spot in the last 32 for the Italian giants who now return to Serie A action against Juventus on Sunday.
