The result lifted Fiorentina into 16th place and out of the relegation zone for the first time in months. It has the same amount of points as Cremonese and Lecce but was above both on goal difference. Pisa, which has still won only once all season, was second to last with the same points as last-placed Verona. Both clubs were nine points from safety with 12 games remaining. Kean followed recent goals against Torino and Como with an early strike from close range after a blocked shot fell kindly at his feet. Pisa goalkeeper Ncolas made several fine saves while Fiorentina's second win in a row was only its second clean sheet of the year. Pisa has gone 15 matches without a league win. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
