Kevin-Prince Boateng tasted victory on his debut for Fiorentina as they beat Livorno 1-0 in a preseason friendly on Saturday.

Sottil Ricardo’s solitary strike in the first half was enough to settle the keenly contested encounter.

Boateng joined The Purples from Sassuolo for a reported €1 million in the ongoing transfer window.

The 32 year old put pen to per on a two-year contract last Wednesday.
