Fiorentina win in the absence of Said

Date: 13-10-2003
Wrote: EP's reporter Islam Issa

Hany Said did not see action in Viola's 2-0 win over Treviso in the ongoing Serie B campaign. Hany Said did not start or come on, as he wasn't even on the substitutes bench. It is suggested that he is suffering a slight injury.


It is worth mentioning that Said did not come to international duty for Egypt against Senegal, as Fiorentina had told the EFA that they need him for this game!

After an even first half, Fiorentina went 1-0 up. Mattia Graffiedi found Christian Rigano, whose finish rattled the net on thirty-five minutes. After this, the tempo increased. Both Graffiedi and Rigano nearly doubled the lead on some occasions.

Later on, Graffiedi hit the bar, and for the first time in a while, Viola played some great football. The counter attacks were used by the opposition though, and Treviso's striker Centurioni managed to beat the Fiorentina keeper. However, his shot was accidentally blocked by a fellow team-mate.

With Viola trying to hold on, they managed to settle the encounter as the former AC Milan midfielder, Graffiedi, lobbed the keeper in the third minute of added time. Final score: 2-0.

Goals: Rigano: 35 and Graffiedi: 93.

Fiorentina line-up: Cejas, Cherubini ( 62' Bismark), Ripa, Bacis ( 70' Baronchelli), Comotto, Maggio, Di Livio, Ariatti (46' Scaglia), Maspero, Graffiedi and Riganò.

Substitutes: Ivan, Baronchelli, Andreotti, Bismark, Scaglia, Helguera and Cicconi.
