Fiorentina's turbulent season took a new turn in the 120 minutes of the second leg to advance to the round of 16 of the Conference League.
The drama had a happy ending for the "viola", although it was expected that they would have an easy job in Florence against the Polish Jagiellonia after a 3-0 victory in the first leg.
However, the Italian team had to go the harder way, as they lost 3:0 in 90 minutes with a hat trick from Mazurek, and in the end 4:2 - enough to fulfill their goal and move among the best.
Fiorentina got out of trouble in the second overtime and reduced the deficit to 3:2 through Fagioli and Ken, with the final score set by Imaz...
Omonia, played by Stevan Jovetić and Novica Eraković, ended their European mission with a 3:1 defeat in Rijeka, even though they were leading 1:0 (the first match was 1:0 for the team from Rijeka).
Things got easier for the hosts at Rujevica when double-scorer Fruk converted and also scored against Ada Ađei.
Eraković was on the bench, while Jovetić missed the fifth match in a row due to injury.
Slovenian Celje defeated Kosovo's Drita twice, 3:2, while Zrinjski was defeated in England by Crystal Palace 2:0 after a 1:1 draw in Mostar.
