  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Fiorentina
    • Debrecen
    • - Debrecen are out of the Champions League and have it all to do if they want to qualify for the Europa League. Fiorentina remain in second but close the gap on leaders Lyon to just one point. Champions League Group E
    • 90'+2 And that's the final action of the game as the referee blows for full-time. It's finished 5-2, making it three wins from the last three Group E games for Fiorentina.
    • 90'+2 Bodnar the right back surges forward but blasts it a mile over.
    • 90' There's going to be two minutes of added on time.
    • 90' The Fiorentina fans are whistling. I don't know why you'd want this match to end, it's been thoroughly entertaining!
    • 88' The Hungarians push forward - is there time for one last consolation goal with only a couple of minutes left?
    • 87' Debrecen give the ball away to Marchionni who tries to play in Santana but he can't control the ball and it goes out for a goal kick to the Hungarians.
    • 85' Coulibaly slides in on Montolivo, who to his credit doesn't react. Another poor challenge and a free kick to Fiorentina.
    • 84' Debrecen's Varga - bizarrely playing with number 77 on his back - shoots wide from 25 yards out. Not even a half-chance really.
    • 83' Mutu tries to play in Pasqual down the left but overhits the pass and it goes out for a goal kick.
    • 81' The Hunagarians look like a beaten team now. Not for the lack of trying though, as we move into the final 10 minutes.
    • 80' Confident passing from Fiorentina in midfield. All Debrecen can do at the moment is ball chase.
    • 78' Finally the Fiorentina fans are singing. They've been treated to a feast of goals tonight!
    • 77' Fiorentina substitution: Santana on (tactical).
    • 75' It's going from one end to the other here. Coulibaly has another chance but his shot is blocked by the face of Comotto. Ouch!
    • 74' Awful defending from the resulting free kick as Vargas swings it in left-footed and Gilardino has all the time in the world with a free header which he duly converts. Another seven-goal thriller between these two sides!
    • 73' Castillo is fouled by Leandro down the right.
    • 72' Well as I said at the start of the commentary, it finished 4-3 to Fiorentina in Budapest two weeks ago. What are the odds we'll get the same score again now?
    • 70' And that's to their detriment. A cross from the right splits both Fiorentina centre backs and the subsitute Coulibaly confidently nods past Avramov. 4-2 now!
    • 69' Fiorentina have visibly stepped it down a gear or two, seemingly content to play out the rest of the game.
    • 68' Vargas strides down the left wing but is quickly surrounded by Debrecen players and is tackled.
    • 67' Debrecen haven't given up yet, stringing together some neat passes but the Fiorentina defence are equal to it.
    • 65' Pantic prevents it from becoming five, saving well from Gilardino.
    • 64' Debrecen substitution. Szakaly on for Laczko (tactical).
    • 62' No offside as Coulibaly breaks through for Debrecen but he wastes the chance, scuffing his shot straight at Avramov.
    • 61' Fiorentina are now playing with a swagger. Some smart interchanges in midfield puts in Marchioni who lifts the ball calmly over the advancing Pantic to make it 4-1 to the Italians. This is in danger of becoming a rout.
    • 59' There's that two-goal cushion. Vargas gets to the byline on the left, swings in a cross from which is missed by Gilardino, but Montolivo is there to prod home from six yards. 3-1 and surely no way back for Debrecen now.
    • 58' Gilardino tries to barge his way through the Debrecen defence but is promptly stopped in his tracks.
    • 57' It's back to possession play from Fiorentina, who no doubt will want a two-goal cushion.
    • 55' So what have Debrecen got left in the tank now? Surely another equaliser is beyond them?
    • 53' Debrecen substitution: Coulibaly on for Ramos (tactical).
    • 52' You can't say that wasn't coming. Finally Pantic is beaten, and it was a catostrophic error by the Debrecen 'keeper. He comes for a free kick from the right and is beaten to the ball by the central defender Dainelli who heads into an empty net. 2-1 to Fiorentina.
    • 51' Pantic is again called into action. He saves Mutu's shot with his feet and Gilardino can't connect with the rebound.
    • 50' Fiorentina have come out firing on all cylinders. Can Debrecen weather the early second-half storm?
    • 48' From the resulting corner, Gamberini heads straight at the Debrecen goalkeeper. He really should have done better from there.
    • 47' Mutu sees his powerful right-foot shot tipped round the post by Pantic.
    • 46' And we're back underway in Florence.
    • 46' Fiorentina substitution: Montolivo on for Zanetti (tactical).
    • - Fiorentina certainly wouldn't have been expecting this, especially after their bright start and early goal. Can the Italians get back in front in the second half or will Debrecen gain their first points in Group E?
    • 45' The Italians are pushing for a goal before the break but to no avail. The Spanish referee decides there's no need for any injury time and the interval is quickly upon us.
    • 44' That was a waste. The corner misses everyone and goes out of play on the far side.
    • 43' Bodnar streaks down the right for Debrecen but his powerful shot is blocked by Pasqual. Corner.
    • 42' Ramos slides in dangerously on Pasqual but miraculously avoids a card of any colour. It's a free kick to Fiorentina though.
    • 40' Debrecen's Rudolf caught offside down the left.
    • 39' All of a sudden it's gone ever so quiet inside the Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian fans weren't expecting that.
    • 38' It's end-to-end action here now. Fiorentina push forward this time and Gilardino shoots straight at Pantic in the Debrecen goal.
    • 37' Well would you believe it. Debrecen equalise. The Hungarians break down the left and Ramos plays an exquisite pass which evades two Fiorentina defenders and Rudolf hooks the ball in with his right foot. 1-1 here.
    • 35' Leandro tries to play in Rudolf for Debrecen but the pass is a bit beyond the striker's stretch.
    • 33' Close. Vargas swings in a corner from the left and Gilardino's looping heading clips the top of bar.
    • 32' Fiorentina substitution. Castillo on for Gamberini. I don't think it's tactical, he must have picked up a knock.
    • 31' Fiorentina are looking very comfortable, stroking the ball around midfield.
    • 30' The Hungarian team's lone man up front Rudolf chases after a long ball from midfield, but all he can do is keep the ball in play and hand back possession to Fiorentina.
    • 29' More possession play by the Italians. Debrecen's best hope looks to be hitting them on the break
    • 27' Vargas, ever the threat down Fiorentina's left wing, tries to play in Mutu in the penalty area but his pass is intercepted.
    • 25' Another half-chance for Rudolf, who breaks away down the left, but his shot is well saved by Avramov.
    • 24' Nice one-two between Gilardino and Marchionni but the Italian's shot is blocked.
    • 21' It looks like it's going to be a long night for Debrecen but to their credit they're plugging away with some neat interchanges in midfield.
    • 19' More kamikaze defending by the Hungarians. The ball sails over the central defence and Mutu swings at it with his left foot, but can't control his shot.
    • 18' Debrecen are trying to get back into this, Laczko surges down the left and wins a throw in for his side, which they promptly waste.
    • 16' Vargas swings in a free kick from the left but Gilardino heads way over.
    • 15' Debrecen go straight up the other end but Rudolf's weak left-footed shot is comfortably saved by Avramov.
    • 13' Well that didn't take too long. Superb ball in from the right by Manuel Pasqual and there was Adrian Mutu in acres of space to head past Pantic in the Debrecen goal. 1-0 to the Italians.
    • 11' Gilardino tries to force his way through the Debrecen midfield but is promptly stopped in his tracks by the dreadlocked Honduran Luis Ramos.
    • 10' Kiss replaces the injured Komlosi.
    • 9' Just when I thought the Debrecen centre back would return to the action with a Terry Butcher-like bloodstained bandage, the Hungarians decide he can't continue.
    • 8' Fiorentina are looking to push home their numerical advantage as Komlosi continues to receive treatment on the sidelines, but Donadel launches it far too long for the Italians.
    • 7' Well, that's a lot of blood. It's going to take some bandaging to get that tidied up!
    • 5' Nothing doing from the corner - although Debrecen centre back Komlosi looks to have picked up a nasty gash to his head.
    • 4' Former Chelsea man Adrian Mutu rides a few Debrecen challenges and wins a corner for his team.
    • 2' Fiorentina have started brightly, a flowing move down the left finds Alberto Gilardino in the penalty area but he can't get his shot away.
    • 1' And we're underway in Florence. The pitch looks in good condition.
    • - The teams are on the pitch at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, as the players pose for the obligatory pre-match photos.
    • - Debrecen are yet to win a game after their three Group E matches, conceding 9 goals in the process. Are we in for another goal-fest tonight?
    • - Referee: Manuel Enrique Mejuto Gonzalez (Spain).
    • - Debrecen team: Pantic, Bodnar, Szelesi, Komlosi, Leandro, Czvitkovics, Ramos, Varga, Laczko, Fodor, Rudolf; subs: Poleksic, Dombi, Bernath, Kiss, Coulibaly, Szakaly, Katona.
    • - Fiorentina team: Avramov, Comotto, Gamberini, Dainelli, Pasqual, Donadel, Zanetti, Marchionni, Mutu, Vargas, Gilardino; subs: Seculin, Kroldrup, Castillo, Montolivo, Gobbi, Santana, De Silvestri.
    • - The game kicks off in just under 15 minutes at 19:45 UK time - can Fiorentina extend their current two-match winning streak in this group?
    • - A fortnight ago they lost 4-3 to the Italians in a thrilling match in Budapest.
    • - Debrecen are fighting for their Champions League lives at Fiorentina in Group E.

  • Summary

    • 74' Awful defending from the resulting free kick as Vargas swings it in left-footed and Gilardino has all the time in the world with a free header which he duly converts. Another seven-goal thriller between these two sides!
    • 70' And that's to their detriment. A cross from the right splits both Fiorentina centre backs and the subsitute Coulibaly confidently nods past Avramov. 4-2 now!
