With the results of the UEFA Cup Quartefinals First Leg Fiorentina 1 - 1 PSV Eindhoven, the match is open for any of the teams. I will believe Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli and defender Ujfalusi who said in the press conference that they "were going to make it."
Challenge is for Coach Prancelli not to get injured players as on Sunday they will be playing the Italian Serie A Week 33 against INTER.
Come on Fiorentina!!!!! Let's win this match!
The big moment arrives for Fiorentina when Referee Luis Medina Cantalejo whistles the beginning of the match.
In the 6th minute, PSV striker Danny Kovermans shoots trying to blast Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey. Frey with great style saves. Wow, this would have been the first goal!!!! Well done Frey.
In the 10th minute, Fiorentina striker Giampaolo Pazzini and Gamberini have a chance to score but PSV defender Carlos Salcido deflects when Gamberini heads the ball.. Wow, Salcido has been playing excellent.

Oh what is Mutu doing!!! Referee Luis Medina Cantalejo gives a yellow card to Adrian Mutu for committing a foul on PSV defender Kirk Marcellis.
In the 21st minute, Pazzini shoots from close range but PSV goalkeeper Gomes saves!!!
In the 25st minute, another yellow card! Hello, Fiorentina better calm down! Referee Luis Medina Cantalejo gives a yellow card to Marco Donadel.
Finally the goal comes! In the 38th minute, forward Adrian Mutu gets an assist from Fabio Liverani and shoots from about 30 meters to the top right corner leaving PSV goalkepeer Gomes frustrated.
PSV Eindhoven 0 - 1 Fiorentina
With this goal FIORENTINA is qualifying to SEMIFINAL!!!!
Guys, let's hope Fiorentina score another goal and don't concede any from PSV. Wow, it will be a great victory for Fiorentina.
In the 46th minute, PSV Coach Vergoosen substitutes Bakkal and bring Lazovic.
In the 53rd minute, another glorious moments for Fiorentina!!!!! Giampaolo Pazzini shoots and Gomes could not hold the ball, in the reound ADRIAN MUTU shoots from the edge of the box and there you go my friends, GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLl the second goal of Adrian Mutu blasting goalkeeper Gomes!!!!
It's an important victory not only for Fiorentina but for Italian football too. Fiorentina is the only Italian team right now in International competition.
This goal has an open message to Inter coach Roberto Mancini to be alert on Sunday because MUTU might be the lethal weapon against Inter. Well done MUTU!!!!

In the 64th minute, What a save from PSV goalkeeper Gomes in two terms!!!! Fiorentina forward Santana shoots and GOMES saves with a punch finding Adrian Mutu almost shooting from close range when Gomes saves right in the net!!!! So funny seeing Mutu just laughing for the great action of Gomes.
In the 73rd minute, Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli makes his first substitution. Giampaolo Pazzini out, Christian Vieri in. I am happy with this change and hope Vieri scores to give him a chance to shine in an international competition. Come on Vieri!!!!Coach Prandelli is wearing his LUCKY PURPLE JACKET... So far the jacket is bringing his luck. Keep wearing it Prandelli!
In the 76st minute, great chance for PSV with Danko Lazovic but his shot misses the target. Hey, watch out Fiorentina! Don't allow spaces for PSV. 15 more minutes and we are making history ! Come on Viola!!!!
In the 78th minute, PSV Eindhoven Coach Vergoosen makes his second substitutions.

In the 80th minute, a terrible news! Referee Luis Medina Cantalejo grants a penalty for PSV Eindhoven after Fiorentina defender Ujfalusi commits a foul on Lazovic right in the box. Oh no!!!! PSV Midfielder Simons takes the penalty spot and you wont' believe it. FREY SAVES!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, WHAT A VALUABLE SAVE FROM FREY!!!!!My friends with only 10 minutes, I don't think PSV will be able to score 3 goals. They have wasted many chances and Fiorentina just concentrated executing the strategy to win this match!!!!
In the 86th minute, Fiorentina Coach Cesare Prandelli substitutes great forward and author of the 2 goals ADRIAN MUTU, leaving among applause from Fiorentina fans and his teammates. Osvaldo is in.

What a stupendous performance by Fiorentina. They showed how an Italian team should play an away game in international competition--relentless, polished and confident. I thought the yellow cards were undeserved, but otherwise, a great game. Fiorentina took the crowd out of the match.

I agree Kenntak, they played with determination and Frey was superb like Anna mentioned. I love your 3 words description too "relentless, polished and confident."
Fiorentina played the perfect match and the lucky purple jacket worked for Prandelli. I'm happy for Mutu too but just hope INTER WILL BEAT THEM on Sunday.
Forza Inter
