Big disappointment for Lazio, eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Europa League by the much more modest Norwegians Bodo Glimt .
Yet Baroni's team had done the bulk of the work. They had overturned the 0-2 defeat suffered in the first leg in Norway in extremis, with goals from Castellanos in the 21st minute and Noslin in full recovery, in the 93rd minute .
In extra time, the Biancocelesti even took the lead, thanks to Dia's goal in the 100th minute . But in the 109th minute Helmersen scored the 3-1 goal and re-established parity in the double challenge. The penalties were a disaster: only Dia and Guendouzi scored, errors by Tchaouna, Noslin and, last and decisive, Castellanos, condemned Lazio .
Fiorentina, on the other hand, advance in the Conference League, suffering, drawing 2-2 with Celje and, thanks to the 2-1 in the first leg in Slovenia, reaching the semi-final for the third consecutive season.
For a place in the final they will face Betis Sevilla (1st and 8th May, with the first leg in Spain and the return leg in Florence).
Mandragora's goal after the first half, in the second half Viola can't manage the advantage and not only does Celje equalize, but they even turn the result around: in the 53rd minute Matko's central pass eludes Parisi and beats De Gea unstoppably. The Slovenians believe in it and eight minutes later they overtake: corner kick from the right where in the center of the area only Nemanic stands out and heads it in.
Three minutes pass with the usual Moise Kean and Fiorentina takes the lead again: a long throw from Mandragora for the centre forward who takes on the defender, in the away area, and unleashes a curling shot that goes in at the far post.
