Fiorentina have ended their pre-season with a 2-0 victory over Bundesliga outfit Freiburg, thanks to goals in each half from Moise Kean and Rolando Mandragora.

Pre-season: Freiburg 0-2 Fiorentina

La Viola travelled to south-west Germany for a pre-season run-out at Europa Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Coach Rafaelle Palladino named a trio of his new signings among the starting line-up, including Marin Pongracic, who has joined from Lecce, Andrea Colpani, who knows the coach from their time together at Monza, as well as former Juventus striker Kean.

It was Kean who stole the headlines in the first-half. Some tidy dribbling on the right-hand side of the area had multiple Freiburg defenders muddled up, before the former Italy international dispatched from the edge of the six-yard box.

Mandragora had a slightly more straight-forward task for his goal, converting from the penalty spot with a cool finish into the left corner of the net.

It is now three wins on the spin for Palladino and Fiorentina, who hammered lower-league Grosseto 7-2 on Monday and also beat Montpellier 2-1 at Viola Park last weekend.

The Viola did endure a slightly rougher time on their mini-tour of the UK earlier in the summer, where they drew 1-1 and 2-2 with Bolton and Hull respectively, which was separated by a 2-1 loss to Preston North End.

They will be back in action next Saturday, marking the return of Serie A football with a trip to newly-promoted Parma, kicking off at 17.30 BST.
