In the first leg of the Europa League playoffs held in the early morning of this morning, Fiorentina defeated the Ukrainian team Placia 3-0 away. After the game, Fiorentina coach Pioli talked about Keene Jr.'s red card.

Keane Jr.'s shot in the 8th minute caused the opponent's goalkeeper to own the ball, but in the 44th minute, Keane Jr. was pulled by his opponent's hair, and then retaliated with an elbow and received a red card. Pioli said: "Kean Jr. made a mistake. His reaction was a red card move. But his opponent should be punished for pulling his hair. I feel sorry for Kean Jr. He will learn from this. He will play the first round of the Serie A game against Cagliari in the new season with greater motivation."
