ROME (AP) — Fiorentina produced two late goals to secure a 2-0 win at last-place Salernitana in Serie A on Sunday, moving the Tuscan club up to ninth place and back into contention for a spot in Europe.

Christian Kouame scored with a looping header in the 80th and Jonathan Ikone added another in stoppage time following a rebound of a save by Salernitana goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.

Salernitana, which is 13 points from safety with five rounds remaining, is nearing mathematical relegation.

Fiorentina, which has advanced to the Europa Conference League semifinals, ended a five-match winless streak in Serie A. The Viola also have a game to make up against Atalanta.

There was a brief clash between Salernitana and Fiorentina supporters before kickoff that resulted in injuries to 10 police officers, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported — adding that no fans were arrested.
