Fiorentina win first Viareggio Cup in 34 years

Fiorentina have won the 76th Viareggio Cup, beating Rijeka 4-1 in the final after extra time.

Having lost in last year's final of the prestigious Under 18 tournament, the Viola managed to claim the prize this time around courtesy of two goals by Federico Croci and one each by Salvatore Cianciulli and Federico Mataran.

It is the club's first Viareggio Cup triumph in 34 years, since 1992.

Congrats, boys!
