At the beginning of the second half, Dzeko made a masterful shot and thus increased the lead of his team, which eventually won with a convincing 0:3. With that goal, he not only helped Fiorentina to an important three points, but also entered the history of European football.
Namely, at 39 years and 220 days, Dzeko became the oldest scorer in the history of the Conference League. The previous record holder was Milan Petržela, who scored in KL at the age of 39 years and 88 days.
“I didn’t know about that record before the game. It’s always nice to score a goal, and even nicer when it’s in Europe. I hope to score a few more, even if I’m even older then!”, he joked after the match in Vienna.
“Winning is always good. It improves the mood. We are all much happier now. It is never easy to win away in Europe, but we played well today. Hopefully this 3-0 win will give us more confidence for the next game.”said Edin.
“The second goal was important. In Serie A we had the lead before, but we didn’t manage to use it to the end. The second goal today gave us a little more confidence that we can win. With the score 1:0, the opponents press and there is always a chance for a goal to come from somewhere. With the score 2:0, we were more relaxed, and then we scored the third goal to close the game.”he added.
He still moves like a young man in the penalty area…
“This is my job. It’s what I’ve been doing for 20 years and I’ve scored a lot of goals. It’s today [Niccolo] Fortini passed a great ball, so the credit goes to him too”said the BiH captain.
