Fiorentina's players admit they could've done better after their Europa Conference League win against Sivasspor.

The Viola won the first-leg of the round of 16 tie 1-0.

Matchwinner Antonin Barak said: "We lacked a bit of determination, of hunger in front of the goal in the first half so I was very happy when I saw the ball go in after my shot. I celebrated wildly because I wanted to push the team to score more. It was important to score, it's a pity we only managed to score one.

"I expect a similar game in Turkey, I think they will still try to close down space and counter-attack as they did tonight. Hopefully we will be more precise with our chances there."

Viola midfielder Gaetano Castrovilli also said: "We lacked a bit of concreteness but in any case we scored a goal tonight and we are happy to start with an advantage in the second leg. I feel good, I'm very happy for my first start after 12 months out [due to an injury]."
