However, the guests themselves opened the rakhunok - Ismaila Sarr closed the serve with her head. Fiorentina confirmed: Gudmundsson converted the penalty, and after the break Cher Ndur interrupted with a stunning strike from between the penalties, making it 2:1. The Italians completely controlled the game in the other half, created chances, but failed to score the third ball, which sent the game into the extra hour.
