HE West Ham He smiles again, celebrates again and lifts a European title again.; It’s an epic Conference League this Wednesday, with Bowen’s goal on the horn after a magic pass from Paquetá that killed a ‘Fiore’ (1-2) who lost their second final of the year.
The 1980 FA Cup against Arsenal was the final trophy to showcase the ‘Hammers’, who won their second European title after the 1965 Cup Winners’ Cup at the Eden Arena. Paquetá and Bowen dressed like heroes on a magical and historic night. For the Londoners who will also compete in the Europa League next season. All after a game against a Fiorentina who wanted to keep up with the game but couldn’t get back the great British defensive frame.
The first seconds of the game were a clear definition of what each team was looking for.. ‘Fiore’ went straight to the door in the first game, without speculation, as they had already done against Inter in the Coppa Italia final. This time he didn’t have the success he had at the time and gave West Ham wings to do what they do best: counterattack. The London team dispersed without a second thought and tried to connect with their most powerful weapon, Michail Atonio, to create danger.
The first minute of presentation with two aggressive attempts that quickly turned into the usual homage of finals. ‘Fiore’ sought control with possession, and West Ham, always in a good position led by Declan Rice who could bid farewell to the ‘Hammers’ midfield and Zouma on the defensive line, chose moments well to spread and consolidate quality. The power of Paquetá and Antonio.
Really Rice himself, who has the first chance of the gameOne of the few shots that bother Terraciano’s door despite going wide, all in one throw-in, this is another of West Ham’s dangers.
The game then turned into attempts by the Florence team to eliminate the defensive frame of Moyes’ men, who managed to prevent ‘Fiore’ from scoring a goal throughout the first act.

The goal seemed to give some confidence to the Italians and instill fear into the British bodies. a mirage. And in the 58th minute, the ‘Hammers’ were much smarter and blew off another throw-in that caught Biraghi off guard. The captain ‘breach’ hit the ball with his hand to regain his lost position. VAR notified the referee, who blew the penalty whistle. Benrahma did not miss from 11 meters in the 62nd minute and tricked Terracciano to bring out the frenzy in the English fans.
However roles changed again. Fiorentina relaxed and took just four minutes to react. The lake pass from Amrabat won the jump to Nico González Emerson, and Bonaventura took the ball and took it after a complex shot that found an unimaginable cais path between the multiple legs that filled the field, all the way to the right post of the Areola.
The goal moved West Ham and brought ‘Fiore’ to life. A few minutes later, Mandragora had a very clear opportunity and missed with a very wide shot and failed to score. A missed opportunity that finally pays off.
Because at the 90th minute, both teams appeared to agree to overtime, while Paquetá was cautious during the game and showed up to show his magic in the Eden Arena. At the most perfect moment, at the most painful moment, at the most epic moment. With a thin pass, it just left Bowen scoring all ‘Hammers’ goals in one night for London club history.
