Latest football commentary Puskas Academy vs Fiorentina
Puskas Academy put in a commendable performance last week as they punished Fiorentina by scoring twice to open up a two-goal advantage, and despite a late equaliser, Zsolt Hornyak's side got a vital result with an 89th-minute equaliser from Wojciech Golla.
The draw left Puskas just one positive result away from eliminating his Italian opponents and qualifying for the group stages of a European tournament for the first time in history.
Puskas Academy have never previously qualified beyond the second round, having been eliminated in the first qualifying round of the 2020-21 Europa League and the second qualifying round of the Conference League in two consecutive seasons prior to this campaign. The Hungarian side will be hoping to make history in the latest continental competition in their third attempt and fourth attempt overall. Their third qualifying round success against Ararat also included a 3-3 draw, underlining Puskas's penchant for attacking play and accepting high-scoring games.
Fiorentina, despite reaching the Conference League final twice before, have struggled under Raffaele Palladino in the new season, failing to win in three competitive games. A clean sheet against Venezia was a positive but not enough to overshadow the disappointment of failing to score at home against a newly promoted side.
The visitors are looking for their first win under their new manager and will be determined to avoid the humiliation of being eliminated by a club with less experience at this level. Palladino will need to find the right balance between attack and defence to overcome the threat of a motivated Puskas side determined to make their mark against the Italians.
