Nsongo keeps Deportivo unbeaten

Deportivo continues its unbeaten streak in this preseason. The Galician side drew with Fiorentina in a friendly that served as a more demanding test than previous warm-up matches for Hidalgo's team.

The Italians took the lead through Ndour following a set-piece opportunity. In the second half, Deportivo improved considerably and created danger in the rival box, with Villares coming closest only to see his shot hit the crossbar. Fiorentina relied on quick transitions and allowed the Galicians to press forward.

The equalizer came in the 89th minute in somewhat fortunate fashion. Following an indirect free kick caused by a defender's backpass, Soriano touched the ball and Nsongo's shot deflected off a centre-back, leaving Christensen out of position as the ball crossed the line. With this result, Deportivo has recorded three draws and two victories in preseason, according to MARCA.
