Moise Kean delivered a spectacular performance, netting a hat-trick to lead Fiorentina to their sixth consecutive Serie A victory. The win temporarily places the Viola joint top of the table after a convincing 3-1 triumph over Hellas Verona.
The match began with an early breakthrough as Kean capitalized on Lucas Beltran’s through ball, scoring just four minutes into the game. This marked Kean’s third consecutive league match with a goal, showcasing his impressive form.
Verona managed to equalize through Suat Serdar’s stunning long-range effort, but Fiorentina’s dominance was restored when Kean acrobatically volleyed in Yacine Adli’s corner kick.
The Italian striker had an opportunity to complete his hat-trick in the 83rd minute but uncharacteristically missed an open goal. However, he made amends in stoppage time, skillfully finishing off a counter-attack to secure his treble and the victory for Fiorentina.
This win comes as a strong response to Fiorentina’s midweek setback in the Conference League against APOEL Nicosia. It also continues their impressive domestic form, keeping them in contention at the top of Serie A.
Verona, coming off a morale-boosting win against Roma, struggled to contain Fiorentina’s attack, particularly Kean’s threat. The result leaves Hellas facing challenges in their bid to climb the league table.
