„Fiorentina“ had a chance to move up to fifth place in „Serie A“ in Italy on Sunday afternoon, but they did not take advantage of this opportunity. The „Violets“ unexpectedly lost 1-2 to the now former bottom team of the championship - the footballers of „Salernitana“ on the road. Milan Djuric scored for „Salernitana“ in the 9th minute. Ricardo Saponara equalized in the 64th minute. However, Federico Bonazzoli's strike in the 79th minute expanded the important victory for the hosts. After this victory, hope shone for the „Salernitana“ footballers to stay in the „Serie A“ competition. „Cagliari“ is in 17th place and they are only 3 points ahead of the team from Salerno. Meanwhile, for the „Fiorentina“ team, this was a rather painful loss in the race for a place in Europe. However, with 5 more games to go, everything is still in the hands of Vincenzo Italiano's players.
