| A stunning Daniel Pablo Osvaldo overhead kick sent Fiorentina into the Champions League for the first time in eight years.
The Viola had just one test left to pass before entering the Champions League preliminary round, as they had overtaken Milan last weekend and would qualify with a victory. Toro had nothing more to play for after securing safety with a second straight win, though Marco Motta was suspended. Fiorentina missed the banned Adrian Mutu and Marco Donadel, plus Christian Vieri and Dario Dainelli injured.
Torino hadn't won this fixture since March 2002 with a total of 36 Serie A victories to 10 for the Tuscans in 61 meetings.
In the opening 30 seconds Toro earned their first corner with a threatening Aimo Diana cross, but then Matteo Sereni needed a great save to deny Mario Alberto Santana one-on-one. Sereni flew to palm a Santana header out from under the bar and then got down well on Giampaolo Pazzini's effort, while at the other end Sebastien Frey fingertipped a Roberto Stellone lob round the post. Sereni fingertipped a Fabio Liverani free kick out from the top corner and from the resulting corner performed a stunning reaction save on Alessandro Gamberini's header. Frey used his body to charge down a powerful Stellone left-foot angled drive, while Sereni also impressed with a spectacular save on Riccardo Montolivo. David Di Michele had his goal disallowed for an offside position. News filtered through that Milan had equalised against Udinese, so the Viola put more pressure on and went close with Santana whistling wide and Osvaldo testing Sereni. Stellone volleyed over and Diana's goal was disallowed for a very tight offside position and Frey rushed out to close down Diana again. Milan took the lead over Udinese, so on the hour mark Fiorentina suddenly found themselves in fifth place. Alessandro Rosina forced a desperate outstretched foot save out of Frey with his right-foot angled drive from eight yards. Fiorentina needed a victory to enter the Champions League and it took a moment of magic from Under-21 international Osvaldo. He scored with a glorious overhead kick from nine yards that slotted into the far corner. |
