The Viola started out with a 3-5-2 system, though with Ahmed Hegazi playing almost between defence and midfield lines.
Bakic opened the scoring with a curling finish, quickly followed by Gondo and a Michele Camporese volley.

Bittante’s snooker shot, a Camporese header and Gondo penalty earned by Diakhate rounded out the first half at 6-0.
There were numerous changes in the second period, including more recognisable names in the line-up.
Mario Gomez prompted an own goal from Trentino, Ante Rebic nodded in a Federico Bernardeschi cross and completed his brace at the back post.
Gomez did get on the scoresheet in the final minutes thanks to a generous Rebic assist.
