After the first minutes of study for both teams Betis (11’pt) looks for the goal with a shot from outside the area: very good De Gea who rejects a dangerous cross of Fornals on which Isco cannot find the winning detour, the Spanish goalkeeper at the last in dive manages to deflect the ball.

At 18 ‘still dangerous guests, trying to take advantage of an error of a bad error in Pongracic’s release, the Andalusi start on the counterattack with Isco and Fornals, the latter’s shot is deflected in the corner kick. Fiorentina’s response arrives at the 19’pt when Kean, launched in depth by Adli, makes Isco and Sabaly out and kicks on the door but the ball rises too much is finished above the crossbar. The game of turns on with Fiorentina who at 24’pt goes close to the goal with Comuzzo who in the area, after a beat and reply, is seen saving the ‘double’ shot first by Sabaly and then from Barta. On the reversal opposite De Gea it performs a large parade on the left angled left of Antony. And at 30’pet the frost falls to Franchi for the goal of Betis Seville: beans he commits foul on Lo Celso to the edge of the area, punishment kicked by Antony who takes the pole to the right of De Gea and then enters the goal. A network that complicates the ambitions of Fiorentina to conquer the Conference League final that psychologically could throw the team down. Instead Palladino’s team reacts and great. At 34 ‘the draw arrives: corner from the right of Mandragora and Gosens’ winning blow.

The francs inflamed, hope has rekindled. That the Betis at 39’pt immediately tries to spend with Isco that in trailer serves a karst that from the edge of the area starts a very insidious shot that and affects the crossbar of the door defended by De Gea. Three minutes and Fiorentina overturns the result and again with Gosens, who on the corner (this time from the left) stands higher than everyone and beats Vieites. At the beginning of the second half Palladino leaves the Richardson card in the changing rooms. A recovery that in his first part saw the two teams try to discover himself less, and therefore also avara of opportunities on both sides. In the second part, however, Fiorentina tried to play more than remittance leaving Betis Seville more. In the end of time (41’st) Gosens, on punishment kicked by the right by Mandragora, goes close to the third goal with a header that was rejected on the goal line. At 44’st, however, De Gea became a great protagonist: Betis on the counterattack on Richardson’s error, the ball in Antony who concentrates and pulls but the goalkeeper Viola manages to reject but the ball remains in the area where Ezzalzouli arrives and once again a great response from the Spanish goalkeeper arrives.

After four minutes of recovery granted by the Swedish referee Nyberg goes to extra time for the result in perfect equality after the first leg. Palladino also plays Beltran and Parisi cards for Gudmundsson and Gosens. But it is Betis who scores in the 98th minute: Comuzzo misses the intervention in front of his area, the ball ends at Antony in the race who from the right puts in the center of the area for the rushing Ezzalzouli who beats from two steps De Gea. A goal that closes the dreams of the third consecutive Conference final for the Viola.
