Football: Serie A, Fiorentina–Verona 1–2: Viola still winless

Rome, Dec. 14 (LaPresse) – Fiorentina fell at the Franchi Stadium in the relegation clash against Hellas Verona, bringing the nightmare of relegation ever closer. The Viola are last in the standings with six points, still without a single win this Serie A season. The defeat was sealed by Orban’s brace, scoring first in the 42nd minute and then in the dying moments (93rd) with an assist from Bernede, who miraculously kept the ball in play by mere millimeters to serve his teammate. Hellas rise to 12 points, still in the relegation zone, but just two points behind Parma, Cagliari, and Genoa.
