AC Milan secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Fiorentina at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Serie A, with Theo Hernandez's first-half penalty proving decisive. This propelled the Rossoneri to the third spot, overtaking Napoli, who earlier triumphed against Atalanta. The match marked the noteworthy debut of 15-year-old Francesco Camarda, now Milan's youngest-ever player, succeeding Paolo Maldini. Hernandez, creating the penalty himself after being fouled by Fabiano Parisi, sealed the win on the stroke of half-time.
Despite a subdued match, highlighted by Camarda's historic entrance, Fiorentina dominated the second half but failed to capitalize on possession. A peculiar injury-time save from Mike Maignan, stopping Rolando Mandragora's close-range effort with his head, preserved Milan's lead. The victory propelled Milan to third place in Serie A, while Fiorentina maintained their fifth position in the league standings.
