)Fiorentina capitulated to Genuine Betis in additional time, 2-2 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate, and will not be playing a 3rd successive Conference League Final.Instead, it is Real Betis who will play their first ever UEFA Final, taking on Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea on May 28 in Wroclaw.The very first leg ended 2-1 in Seville, so the Viola required a success to keep the European dream going. Moise Kean and Dodo went back to the beginning XI, the latter making his comeback 13 days after his appendix was taken out, with Yacine Adli changing the hurt Danilo Cataldi. Marc Roca and Diego Llorente didn’t make the journey, however Manuel Pellegrini could count on former Napoli protector Natan and ex-Milan full-back Ricardo Rodriguez, bringing in Giovani Lo Celso and Isco.See how it
all unfolded on the Liveblog.David De Gea had to deal with an early Pablo Fornals cross-shot that Isco at full stretch couldn’t quite reach, while Isco and Lo Celso efforts were charged down.Fiorentina’s very first genuine hazard came on 19 minutes when Adli sent out Kean on the
counter-attack, getting rid of three deals with to fire simply over the bar.Check the Football Italia Gamer Rankings for Fiorentina 2-2 Genuine Betis Pietro Comuzzo
couldn’t believe he failed to score on 22 minutes from a corner, as his header
was cleared off the line by Youssouf Sabaly, then his rebound toe-poke was booted away by Marc Bartra.Antony then went on the counter, De Gea getting down rapidly to fingertip the angled drive round the base of the far post.Rolando Mandragora blasted over,
but it was Betis who took the lead in Florence when Antony bent a free kick off the inside of the left boot that beat De Gea by bouncing from inside the far post. ANTONY!

it into the far bottom corner.

They nearly included a third in very first half stoppages, but Kean nodded the Adli set play over the bar.After the restart, Kean went on a solo gone through a crowd and forced a conserve from the tightest of angles, while substitute Abde Ezzalzouli turned Marin Pongracic inside out for a shot charged down by Comuzzo.The frustration got to Kean, who was reserved for running after Napoli-owned protector Natan and dragging him back by the jersey, after the referee had actually currently awarded a nasty for the Betis man’s very same gesture.Gosens nearly got his hat-trick, only grazing his head to the Mandragora complimentary kick with Kean unable to bundle the rebound over the line. epa12085061 Fiorentina’s foward Moise Kean reacts during the UEFA Conference League semi finals second leg match ACF Fiorentina vs Betis Sevilla at Artemio Franchi Arena in Florence, Italy, 08 May 2025. EPA-EFE/CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI De Gea pertained to the rescue with a great double save on Antony and the Ezzalzouli follow-up after Amir Richardson’s weak pass provided it away in the final third.Cedric Bakambu attempted to prepare for De Gea on an Antony low cross, but only wound up kicking the goalkeeper, while Mandragora blasted directly at Fran Vieites.Manuel Pellegrini’s modification in additional time was decisive, as Aitor Ruibal’s smart pass sent out Antony down the right, rolling throughout for Ezzalzouli to sweep home relatively undisturbed at the back post and provide Betis the lead on aggregate.Aitor Ruibal’s curler was plucked out of the air and Isco ballooned over
after a Pablo Garcia pull-back, before the sprightly Ezzalzouli struck the upright with an angled drive.Fiorentina 2-2 Real Betis aet(3-4 agg )Antony 30(B), Gosens 34, 42 (F), Ezzalzouli 97(B) 1st half 2nd half Extra time 13 30 15 36 2 52 114’10 58’32 58’24 91’16 91’Post navigation
