Fiorentina in the last 16

Fiorentina dumped Liverpool out of the Champions League as Juan Manuel Vargas's penalty gave them a 1-0 win against Lyon at the Stadio Artemio Franchi to book a place in the last 16.

But the Serie A side had goalkeeper Sebastien Frey to thank for denying his fellow countrymen with two superb saves in the closing minutes.
Lyon's qualification was already assured, but the Viola are now in pole position in Group E and will swagger into Anfield for the last group match in two weeks time.
Rafa Benitez felt that Lyon would want to win the group to avoid stronger teams in the last 16 and boss Claude Puel started with eight of the players who drew at Anfield a fortnight ago. However, Fiorentina came close to opening the scoring with 10 minutes gone.
Mario Alberto Santana was given time to chest the ball down and after his volley smashed against the post, Lyon keeper Hugo Lloris reacted superbly to turn away the follow up from Alberto Gilardino.
And Gilardino was again left shaking his head when his towering header hit the Lyon woodwork for a second time.

Although Cris came close to connecting with a Lyon free-kick, the French side offered little in return.
As the Viola grew in confidence, Marco Marcionni stormed into the box on 28 minutes, only for Aly Cissokho's clumsy challenge to send the Italian sprawling.
The referee had little hesitation in pointing to the spot and Vargas confidently stepped up to send Lloris the wrong way to give Fiorentina a deserved half-time lead.
And it was the Viola who carved out the first real chance of the second period on 63 minutes. Marchionni beat the offside trap, but just as he prepared to pull the trigger, Cissokho slid in with a pinpoint tackle to deny the Italian.
Gilardino then scuffed a left-foot shot wide following Lorenzo De Silvestri's excellent pass as the visitors rocked.
Miralem Pjanic almost crafted an equaliser out of nothing for Lyon with a crashing free-kick that Frey punched awkwardly away, but there was no white shirt on hand to benefit from the rebound.
The French keeper redeemed himself with just minutes remaining.
Bafetimbi Gomis fired substitute Cesar Delgado's corner goalwards from twelve yards out, only to find Frey on hand to make a superb reaction save.
Then in the dying seconds, fellow sub Lisandro Lopez got clear on the Fiorentina left, but the Brazilian was denied by another excellent Frey stop to send the Viola through with their visitors, and send Liverpool out.
