Match Report and Live Updates

In a stunning display of attacking prowess, Fiorentina put seven goals past Roma in a match that will live long in the memory of their fans. Federico Chiesa, Luis Muriel, Marco Benassi, and Giovanni Simeone all got on the scoresheet for the hosts, with Roma's only consolation goal coming from a penalty.

The match was barely a minute old when Chiesa opened the scoring for Fiorentina. Roma managed to equalize in the 18th minute through a penalty from Diego Perotti, but Fiorentina restored their lead 15 minutes later through Muriel.

Benassi made it 3-1 just after the hour mark, and Fiorentina then ran riot in the final 20 minutes. Simeone scored twice in quick succession, and Chiesa added a seventh in the dying moments of the game.

The result is a huge boost for Fiorentina's hopes of qualifying for Europe next season. It is also a major embarrassment for Roma, who are now in danger of missing out on a Champions League spot.
