AC Milan 1-0 Fiorentina: Hernandez penalty edges Rossoneri past visitors, Camarda makes history

In a tense Serie A encounter, AC Milan secured a vital 1-0 victory against Fiorentina, ending their four-match winless streak. Theo Hernandez, 26, played a pivotal role, converting a penalty and extending Milan's impressive record with a fourth consecutive home win over La Viola.

The match started scrappily at the San Siro, with neither team dominating. Christian Pulisic's dynamic run resulted in a foul by Arthur Melo, who earned a yellow card. However, the crowd's dissatisfaction lingered due to the overall lack of quality.

Fiorentina's Alfred Duncan's failed attempt from Fabiano Parisi's cross underscored the struggle for precision. Pulisic created moments of excitement, but his shots were either saved by Pietro Terracciano or tipped over the crossbar.

Tommaso Pobega's header forced a notable save from Terracciano, injecting life into the hosts. Hernandez then earned and coolly converted a penalty, giving Milan a much-needed boost.

The second half saw action at both ends, with Chukwueze's header saved and Maignan's bold goalkeeping. Despite a scare from Nicolas Gonzalez's deflected cross, Fiorentina couldn't find the equalizer.

Giacomo Bonaventura's blocked strike and Luka Jovic's saved shot highlighted Milan's resilience. The match took a historic turn as 15-year-old Francesco Camarda made his Serie A debut. Maignan's face-saving save from Mandragora secured Milan's victory, ending their winless streak and reclaiming third place, while Fiorentina suffered their fourth loss in five matches.
