Fiorentina produced an outstanding performance against Real Madrid, coming back from 2-0 down to secure a 2-2 draw in a friendly match.
Fiorentina's two strikers, Piccoli and Kean, got the goals, with Piccoli rifling one in at the near post from a Jimenez assist late in the first half, and Kean heading home a fine cross from Fagioli after the break. Real Madrid had taken the lead through goals from Endrick and Ciria.
The match was part of a busy day of friendlies in Italy, with 10 of the 20 teams set to take part in the upcoming league campaign in action. Fiorentina's performance was a welcome boost for the team, which is preparing for the new season after a disappointing campaign last year.
Fiorentina's coach, Grosso, will be hoping that this result is a sign of things to come for his team. The Viola have been working hard in pre-season to build on last year's performances and this result will give them a much-needed confidence boost.
The match was played at a high intensity, with both teams creating chances and testing each other's defenses. Real Madrid's Endrick and Ciria had given the team an early lead, but Fiorentina's strikers were not to be outdone.
Meanwhile, other teams in Italy were also in action, with Lazio playing a friendly against Avellino, and Roma suffering a heavy defeat against Cardiff in a Championship match.
The result for Fiorentina will be a welcome boost for the team as they prepare for the new season.
