Orban could have put the host ahead in the 35th minute, but his low-drive shot failed to threaten the Fiorentina goalkeeper David de Gea.

However, it was the visitor that scored the only goal of the game thanks to Fagioli’s 82nd-minute strike to silence the vociferous home supporters.

The defeat means Verona remains at the bottom of the league standings on 18 points, while Fiorentina move 15th on 32 points.
