Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 7 - Fiorentina's dream of winning this season's Conference League was dashed on Wednesday when they lost 2-1 to West Ham United in Wednesday's final in Prague.
    Said Benrahma put West Ham in front in the 62nd minute by converting a penalty conceded for handball by Fiorentina's Cristiano Biraghi, who had his head bandaged after being hit by an object thrown by English supporters in the first half.
    Giacomo Bonaventura levelled for the Italian side just five minutes later, finding the smallest of gaps in the defence to fire into the far corner.
    But West Ham's Jarrod Bowen latched on to a defence-splitting pass in the 90th minute and produced a cool finish to win the trophy for his team.
    It is the second final Fiorentina have lost this season after their went down 2-1 to Inter in the Italian Cup last month.
    It comes after AS Roma lost the Europa League final to Sevilla on penalties last week.
    Italian football still has a chance of bagging a European trophy this season though, with Inter facing Manchester City in the Champions League final on Saturday. (ANSA).
