The Conference League final was played in the dying moments of the game. Jarrod Bowen released the Hammers by scoring the 2-1 goal in the 90th minute at the end of a game chopped and poor in chances. Benrahma had opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the English in the 62nd minute before Bonaventura equalized five minutes later. Bowen’s goal gave West Ham their first major continental title since winning the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965.
Fiorentina and West Ham meet in the Conference League final on Wednesday. Two teams who are keen to reconnect with their historic past and finally rediscover the taste of a great victory.
The challenge weighs visibly on the game since the two teams observe each other and no big opportunity is to be reported during the first 45 minutes.
After 4 minutes in added time, Fiorentina finally created the first possibility. Kouame takes a cross from the head Dodo but the ball bounces off the post. He returns to Jovic who pushes the ball into the back of the net but the Serb is flagged offside.
It is necessary to wait for the hour of play to see a major match fact. West Ham awarded a penalty for a handball foul Biraghi. Benrahma do not tremble and take Terracciano on the contrary (62nd).
Five minutes later, Fiorentina equalized by Bonaventure. The Italian midfielder receives a ball in the rectangle and performs a good control sequence – cross shot which deceives Areola (67e).
The second half is more animated and the two teams begin to engage, even if the chances continue to be rare.
It was finally at the very end of regulation time that the difference was made by West Ham. Paqueta lance Bowen in depth. The English international crosses his shot from the left and deceives the Florentine goalkeeper to offer the Hammers the Conference League. Particularly uninspired offensively, the English carry out a small hold-up once morest the Italians who will have had possession and a few small possibilities without managing to convert them.
