No action for Hany as Fiorentina stumble

Hany Said remained on the substitutes bench for the entire away game against Salernitana. Viola lost by a goal to nil, as they conceded after just five minutes of play. Even though there were changes in the midfield, Said did not come on.


For the second game running, Hany started on the bench. In the last match he came on, but this time it was a different case.

Longo and De Angelic were able to assist their team-mate Tulli, who scored the early goal for Salernitana on five minutes. He finished a low cross from close range.

After this, Goalkeeper Botticella of Salernitana made some great saves to deny the equaliser. The home team struck on the counter-attack and managed to hit the bar later on.

In stoppage time, Riganò thought he'd equalised for Fiorentina, but the referee said that the ball did not go past the goal-line. The striker's header was cleared off the line by Breda, but it appeared to most people that it had gone past for a goal!

Fiorentina didn't manage to equalise, and the early goal ended up costing them the match. It was a shock win for Salernitana, who won their first home game for seven months on this occasion! Final score: Salernitana 1-0 Fiorentina.

Salernitana match squad: Botticella, Pierotti, Mezzanotti, Olivi, De Angelis, Camorani, Breda, Longo, Di Vicino (89' Caputo), Lai (45' Maschio), Tulli (45' Bogdani). Substitutes: De Lucia, Rinaudo, Molinaro, Maschio, Caputo, D'Aniello, Bogdani.
