Agency :
Sofyan Amrabat scored in the 89th minute as Fiorentina won 2-1 against Spezia on Monday to move closer to the European qualification places in the Seriea-A Football.
The victory moved eighth-place Fiorentina to within a point of Roma and within three points of sixth-place Lazio with a game in hand compared to both rivals.
Fiorentina had lost 3-0 to Lazio at home in the previous round but was coming off another last-minute win at Atalanta in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup.
Krzysztof Piatek put the visitors ahead with a goal in the 42nd before Spezia equalized through Kevin Agudelo in the 74th. Amrabat’s winner came with a shot from outside the area after an assist by Arthur Cabral.
Piatek had missed a penalty kick in the 16th.
Spezia, sitting in 14th place and five points above the relegation zone, had won four of its last six matches, including at third-place Napoli in December and at league leader AC Milan in January.
