ACF Fiorentina has secured a spot in the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League for the second consecutive season after defeating RSC Anderlecht in the semi-finals. The Italian side will face Olympiacos FC in the final on May 29, 2023, in Prague, Czech Republic.

Beltran Penalty Seals Fiorentina's Victory

Fiorentina's victory over Anderlecht was sealed by a penalty kick scored by Rolando Beltran in the 75th minute.

Beltran coolly slotted the penalty into the bottom corner, giving Fiorentina a 1-0 lead and ultimately securing their place in the final.

Redemption for Fiorentina

Olympiacos' Stellar Season

Olympiacos, meanwhile, has also had a stellar season in the Europa Conference League. The Greek side defeated PSV Eindhoven in the semi-finals to reach their first European final in over two decades. Olympiacos will be hoping to secure their first European trophy since winning the UEFA Champions League in 2004.

Intriguing Final Matchup

The final between Fiorentina and Olympiacos promises to be an intriguing matchup. Both teams have shown great form throughout the tournament and will be determined to lift the trophy. The match will be a test of the two sides' attacking prowess, as both Fiorentina and Olympiacos have scored plenty of goals in the Europa Conference League this season.
