West Ham 0-1 Fiorentina

Yesss! What a performance by the underdogs to make it through the final.

A clinical finish early on from Darwin Nunez was enough to make the difference, though equally it was an impressive defensive performance that made the victory possible.
A lot of thought went into the match, and in the end the gaffer decided to chance trying to match the Hammers rather than try and defend or seek tactical advantage. If we were to go out, we'd go out fighting and try and win a few more abs. As expected the Hammers went with E, with Fiorentina sticking with the P formation they played on Monday. The difference perhaps being more in the formation, with Fiorentina playing five at the back, rather than Hammers risky three.
West Ham did attack in the second half, but young keeper Owusu showed maturity beyond his years, and Christensen led the line well.
Stats wise the Hammers did edge the game, and will feel hard done by, but the Fiorentina created enough to give themselves a chance.

Onto the final against another Premiership club in Sheffield Wednesday, bring them on!
