Fiorentina is in the relegation zone in Serie A, but there is clearly more motivation on the international stage.
The Italian representative is one step away from qualifying for the Conference League playoffs, after easily defeating Jagiellonia in Poland.
It was 3:0 for "Viola", and they achieved a convincing victory in the second half when Ranieri, Mandragora and Piccoli scored from penalties.
Stevan Jovetić did not play for Omonia due to a knee injury, Novica Eraković remained on the bench, and Rijeka enjoyed themselves in Cyprus and have a one-goal advantage heading into the second leg at Rujevica.
The Croatian champion celebrated in Cyprus with a minimal result, and the only goal was scored by Englishman Daniel Adu Adjei in the 87th minute.
Zrinjski also believes in reaching the round of 16, having remained undefeated in a duel with Crystal Palace in Mostar - 1:1.
Palace took the lead with a goal from Ismaila Sara at the end of the first half, and Karlo Abramović equalized at the start of the second half.
