Meanwhile, Istanbul were denied a third win on the trot on Saturday, when they fell to a 1-0 loss at Fenerbahce.
Before that, they were unbeaten in 12 away games across competitions since April, winning eight and drawing four. Fiorentina have picked up three wins and a draw from their four Conference League games and sit atop Group A with ten points.
