On the evening, the first two matches of the 23rd round of the highest Italian league were played.
Florence's "Fiorentina" football players show increasing ambitions to play in the UEFA Champions League. Although Vincenzo Montella's players are four points away from the third place in Serie A, their recent form should intimidate opponents.
"Viola" defeated "Sassuolo", who is in the middle of the table, with a score of 3-1 in an away match. The first goal was scored by Mohamed Salah, who recently arrived from London's "Chelsea." The Egyptian also made an assist for Khouma Babacar's later double. The latter, in turn, made a precise pass for the team's newcomer to score.
In the second match, the clubs "Palermo" and "Napoli" met. Rafa Benitez's players unexpectedly remained just a step away from defeat - playing at home, Palermo's players scored three goals in their opponents' goal, while Napoli players only scored at the end of the match. It is worth mentioning that the first goal from the winners' team was scored by Achrafas Lazaar from a very long distance.
"Napoli" still remains in third place after the defeat, but "Fiorentina" reduced the gap to the mentioned four points. The same can be done by Genoa's "Sampdoria" tomorrow.

"Sassuolo" 1 - 3 "Fiorentina" [0-1] 30' Mohamed Salah [0-2] 32' Khouma Babacar [0-3] 62' Khouma Babacar [1-3] 67' Domenico Berardi
