The hard-fought victory confirmed the Rossoneri's determination to compete strongly for the title, capitalizing on the brilliance of Portuguese star Rafael Leão.

The excitement of the seventh round was not limited to the Milan derby; it also witnessed another shocking surprise, with Juventus losing again to host Como, 2-0, deepening the crisis for the "Old Lady" under coach Igor Tudor.

An Exciting Scenario Leads Milan to the Top:

The Milan-Fiorentina match witnessed a volatile scenario. Milan entered the match aiming to secure three points to compete for the top spot, but they faced an organized team that put on a strong tactical performance.

After a goalless first half, Fiorentina started the second half strongly and opened the scoring in the 56th minute through Ben Gosens.

The goal sparked the match and increased the pressure on Milan's fans to find a quick comeback.

This is where Portuguese star Rafael Leão came to the rescue, scoring Milan's equalizer in the 63rd minute, reviving the team's spirit and renewing their hopes of winning the match.

The match became increasingly intense in the final minutes, and in the 86th minute, Milan were awarded a crucial penalty kick, which Leão converted successfully to score his and his team's second goal, giving the Rossoneri a valuable 2-1 victory.

With this victory, Milan moved to 16 points, temporarily taking the lead in Serie A, while Fiorentina's tally remained at 3 points, remaining in 18th place in a critical position.

Juventus Continues to Fall as Crisis Deepens

Meanwhile, disappointing results continued to plague Juventus and its fans, with a 2-0 defeat to newly promoted Como. Juventus failed to find their usual rhythm and failed to score despite repeated attempts.

The loss to Como further complicated Juventus' situation, as it was a particularly disappointing result following a run of five consecutive draws in all competitions.

These negative results have put coach Igor Tudor under significant pressure, especially as the team has fallen behind the top teams and is easily losing points to teams fans would not expect it to stumble against.

Juventus is clearly suffering from problems finishing attacks and organizing its defense, which Como exploited to secure a historic and valuable victory over the "Old Lady."

Speculation suggests that the continuation of this string of negative results may force the club's management to make crucial decisions regarding Tudor's future.

Impact of the results on the Serie A table:

Today's results brought about a tangible shift at the top of the table, as Milan took advantage of their rivals' slip-ups to climb to the top with 16 points, confirming that Serie A this season will be more competitive and exciting.

As for Juventus, the loss temporarily removes them from the direct competition for the top spots and raises questions about the team's ability to return to serious contention for the title, or even secure Champions League qualification in light of the intense competition from other teams.

The coming rounds will require a swift return for Juventus, otherwise the crisis could turn into a disaster for the Turin giants.
