AC Milan vs. ACF Fiorentina (13.11.2022)

On November 13, 2022, an exhilarating Serie A match took place between AC Milan and ACF Fiorentina. The game started with high energy as AC Milan's Rafael Leão found the back of the net early, scoring a normal goal at the 2-minute mark. However, Fiorentina was quick to react to their early setback with a tactical substitution in the 18th minute, bringing Dodô onto the pitch.

The intensity of the match increased when Brahim Díaz from AC Milan received a yellow card in the 21st minute for a rash challenge. Fiorentina managed to capitalize on their growing momentum, and Antonín Barák scored an equalizer in the 28th minute, setting the stage for a nail-biting encounter.

Fiorentina seemed to be gaining traction, but their discipline wavered as both Antonín Barák and Riccardo Saponara picked up yellow cards in the 49th and 50th minutes respectively. AC Milan made strategic changes shortly afterwards, with Brahim Díaz making way for a substitute in the 55th minute followed by M. Thiaw in the 56th minute.

The second half saw Fiorentina midfielder Rolando Mandragora also entering the referee's book with a yellow card at the 63-minute mark, which was quickly followed by a double substitution with both R. Mandragora and Arthur Cabral being replaced in the 66th minute.

Despite several substitutions from both sides aimed at breaking the deadlock, including a double alteration for Fiorentina in the 75th minute where Luka Jović received a yellow card, it was a late, dramatic twist that would decide the match. AC Milan's R. Krunić and S. Tonali were introduced in the 75th and 85th minutes respectively to add fresh legs to the midfield.

The game seemed to be heading towards a draw until the 90+1 minute when despair struck for Fiorentina. In a moment of misfortune, N. Milenković turned the ball into his own net, handing AC Milan a critical 2-1 win in the dying moments of the match.

The victory solidified AC Milan's position in the league, and the unfortunate own goal capped off what was a fiercely contested match, demonstrating both the thrills and agonies that make soccer such a captivating sport.
