Fiorentina’s Fallou Séne scores tribute goal in defeat against Inter
Fiorentina’s Primavera U19 team faced a challenging defeat at home against league leaders Inter Milan, with a final score of 1-2. Despite the loss, Senegalese striker Fallou Séne managed to find the back of the net, scoring a goal that held deeper significance for the Viola.
The match marked Fiorentina’s second consecutive defeat, extending their disappointing run following a previous loss.
Against a formidable Inter side, who have been enjoying a strong position at the top of the standings and were on a streak of three consecutive victories, Fiorentina faced a formidable challenge.
With only three days remaining in the championship, Fiorentina currently sits in 13th place, with little chance of altering their position significantly.
Despite the team’s struggles, Fallou Séne has been a standout performer throughout the season, featuring in 28 matches and netting an impressive tally of 11 goals.
In a poignant moment during the match, Séne’s goal held special significance as he dedicated it to JOE, the club’s sporting director, who had recently passed away.
By converting a penalty and contributing to Fiorentina’s performance on the pitch, Séne honored the memory of JOE, reflecting the camaraderie and spirit within the club despite the challenging circumstances.
While the defeat against Inter may have dealt a blow to Fiorentina’s aspirations in the Primavera U19 championship, Séne’s gesture serves as a reminder of the resilience and unity within the team, as they navigate both victories and setbacks on their journey in youth football.
