Continuation of the 33rd day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. The Salernitana club hosted Fiorentina on its pitch at the Stadio Arechi. This meeting was an opportunity for the visitors to begin accelerating in the race for Europe, while Vincenzo Italiano’s men hope to pocket a ticket for the C3 or C4. The first period was fairly shared between the two Italian teams, although the pace was quite low despite a few opportunities on the Viola side, without being very dangerous. It wasn’t much better in the second act but Christian Kouamé saved the Tuscans by scoring the first goal of the match, before Jonathan Ikoné doubled the lead (90th+5) to seal the success (0-2).

In the standings, Fiorentina, which still has a game in hand, takes valuable points in the Italian championship and moves up to 9th place, while Salernitana remains in the red zone of Serie A with its 20th and last position. The shadow of Serie B continues to hang over the Campania club. Next weekend, the Granata will travel to the Roman suburbs to challenge promoted Frosinone, while the Viola will host Sassuolo for a crucial match, during the 34th Italian matchday.
