Fiorentina Primavera have secured their place in the end-of-season championship finals with two games to spare after beating Lazio 1-0 in Rome!

Riccardo Braschi netted the match-winning goal after five minutes – his 13th of the season.

Daniele Galoppa's team then defended tidily and kept Lazio at arm's length, creating chances of their own without managing to add to their tally.

Braschi was sent off in the second half but the Viola continued to repel the hosts' attempts to level the scores and clinched a huge result.
