Rolando Mandragora's stunning strike gave Fiorentina a 1-0 lead in their Italian Cup semi-final with Atalanta after Wednesday's first leg.
Italian Mandragora decided the clash in Florence in the 31st minute with a rocket of a shot from 30 yards which crashed in off the post.
Fiorentina are now slight favourites to reach the final for the second straight year before the second leg in Bergamo on April 24.
The Tuscan outfit, who haven't won a trophy since the 2001 Italian Cup, were also losing finalists in last season's Europa Conference League.
Should they go through Fiorentina will face either fierce rivals Juventus or Lazio in next month's final.
Juve are 2-0 ahead in their last-four tie after dominating their Roman opponents on Tuesday night.
