They have been waiting for almost six decades for the hammers of English football to win the European title, and they did it through Conference League.
OUR West Ham after 1965 and the Cup Winners’ Cup, celebrates winning the newly created competition by beating Fiorentina 2-1 in the Prague final. The English have failed to hand over the cup to the Italians for the second year in a row (last year Roma were the winners of the first edition), while the Italians also lost their second European Cup final this year and Inter Milan left on Saturday to save the glory of Italian football in the Champions League final against Manchester City.
The Englishman “hit” exactly in the 90th minute, when, after a vertical pass, Paque Bowen went to the rear of the Fiorentina defenders and outplayed Terazano on penalties.
The first half was unsuccessful, with Fiorentina having more ball and the English trying to strike in a counterattack. As a result, the only notable stage came in stoppage time when Jović scored, but his goal was ruled offside after a proper VAR check. At the 34th minute, the match was temporarily stopped, as West Ham fans threw plastic bottles at Alto captain Cristiano Birago, one of which cracked his head.
The second half started at the same pace. With strong duels, nerves, tension and breaks. Until the Hammers took the lead thanks to Benrahma’s accurate penalty in the 62nd minute from a Biraghi handball from Bowen in the Fiorentina zone.
The game caught fire, its image and pace completely changed, with Fiorentina equalizing within five minutes (67 minutes) thanks to Bonaventure. The 33-year-old midfielder coped with Gonzalez’s header, changed his foot and made the score 1:1 with a wonderful diagonal kick.
In the 72nd minute, the Italians were close to flipping when, after Cabral’s cooperation with Madragora, the latter made a pass from outside the box, but the ball went wide of the post.
West Ham hit back, Suchek had a good chance in the 81st minute when Terazano saved a header and in the 89th, Areola blocked Amrabad’s shot before West Ham scored the “golden” winning goal by only 90 th minute with Bowen.
