\n

Comuzzo gives it away cheaply, Swiderski pulls back from the by-line and Moreno is there to block.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Tete free kick into the box, but easy for Terracciano. This time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\tPanathinaikos 2-2 Fiorentina: Nicolo’ Fagioli!\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

What a game this is!<\/p>\n

Ball floated over the top, Gosens volleys it back for Fagioli\u2019s first-time finish from 12 yards, it takes a deflection to wrong-foot Dragowski at the near bottom corner, he had gone the other way!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t\tFiorentina chance!\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

This game is not dull!<\/p>\n

Beltran goes down in the box, everyone ignores him, Fagioli manages to squirm between two only to then not get enough bend on the curler, past the far post!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\t\tPanathinaikos 2-1 Fiorentina: Lucas Beltran!\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

OK, OK, here we go!<\/p>\n

Mandragora long ball down the left, Gosens gets it under control and puts in a cross, Beltran with the header from six yards into the roof of the net!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\tPanathinaikos 2-0 Fiorentina: Nemanja Maksimovic\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

Oh dear.<\/p>\n

Djuricic involved again with a fairly simple snapshot from the edge of the box. Should be simple, but Terracciano spills it and Maksimovic pounces on the rebound. Dreadful from Pietro Terracciano.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Fiorentina are frustratingly slow with the ball at their feet. Not going to break down Panathinaikos like that.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Kean was offside, which is just as well because he slipped and got it all wrong.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Corner finds Ranieri\u2019s looping header that lands on the roof of the net. He was fairly unmarked there.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Gosens cross from the left for Beltran, who gets blocked off for another corner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Corner doesn\u2019t go well, then Kean gets his head to a cross, but can only knock it down for Dragowski.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Fiorentina fight back, series of crosses until they get a corner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\tPanathinaikos 1-0 Fiorentina: Karol Swiderski!\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

The ex-Verona player opens the scoring so early.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina allowed a few too many passes on the edge of the area there, then a smart Djuricic through ball for Maksimovic, who laid it off for Swiderski first-time left-foot sweep from just inside the box, it looped over Terracciano into the far top corner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Tete snapshot from outside the area is charged down.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Marin Pongracic had a bruised leg and is only fit for the bench, Ndour and Pablo Mari are cup-tied.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Viola are the Rossa today, because they are all in red.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\t\tWe have kick-off in Panathinaikos vs. Fiorentina!\t\t<\/p>\n

\n

Panathinaikos:<\/strong> Dragowski;\u00a0Kotsiras, Willian Arao, Ingason, Mladenovic;\u00a0Maksimovic, Siopis, Ounhai; Tet\u00ea, Swiderski, Djuricic<\/p>\n

Fiorentina:<\/strong>\u00a0Terracciano; Moreno, Comuzzo, Ranieri; Dodo, Fagioli, Mandragora, Richardson, Dodo; Kean, Beltran<\/p>\n

Ref: <\/strong>Lambrechts (BEL)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Viola have Moise Kean back after he was given the all-clear for a head injury, but miss Yacine Adli, Michael Folorunsho and Andrea Colpani.<\/p>\n

The hosts have ex-Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski and former Sassuolo striker Filip Djuricic in the side, but Tin Jedvaj, Tasos Bakasetas, Erik Palmer-Brown and Facundo Pellistri are not fully fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is an absolutely massive stadium. So it\u2019s\u2026. quite empty.<\/p>\n

Out come the teams!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\t\tFiorentina director general Alessandro Ferrari\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t\tNow this is how you announce a team!\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Sky Sport Italia also insist UEFA have the order wrong on the Panathinaikos team, which again would not be surprising.<\/p>\n

Panathinaikos:<\/strong> Dragowski;\u00a0Kotsiras, Willian Arao, Ingason, Mladenovic;\u00a0Maksimovic, Siopis, Ounhai; Tet\u00ea, Swiderski, Djuricic<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Aha! Sky Sport Italia are confident this is 3-5-2. So not for the first time, UEFA have the right players, but not necessarily in the right order.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Panathinaikos won their last three Conference League home games, all with clean sheets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
