FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Fiorentina recorded its first win in four games when a first-half goal from Robin Gosens held up to beat lowly Lecce 1-0 in Serie A on Friday.

The German defender put in a thumping header after nine minutes, connecting with a deep cross from Brazilian full back Dodô.

Fiorentina should have made sure of the victory after 73 minutes but Lucas Beltrán’s penalty, given after a handball in the box, came back off the upright. The same player had another shot hit the woodwork in the final minutes.
