Serie A Standing AFTER the game:
AC Milan, 6th position with 15 points and a positive goal difference of +6
Fiorentina, 10th position with 10 points and a neutral goal difference of “0″
| Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |

| 6 | Milan | 8 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 17:11 | 6 | 15 |
| 10 | Fiorentina | 8 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 6:6 | 0 | 10 |
AC Milan must be regretting the wasted chance to claim the home victory against Fiorentina. It was the “chance” to jump from the 4th to the 3rd position, but things did not work out. The 1-1 draw brings down Milan to the 6th position.
AC Milan opening the score in the 25th minute following a corner conceded by Fiorentina defender Nenad Tomovic. The assist made by Colombian defender Cristian Zapata towards the center finding midfielder Nigel De Jong for the headed shot defeating Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto in the bottom left corner.
Fiorentina equalizing in the 64th minute. It must be a “Colombian day” because the assist for Fiorentina’s goal made by another great Colombian midfielder Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who had renewed his contract with Fiorentina. The assist is to midfielder Josip Ilicic defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.
AC Milan coach attempted maybe a late reaction by making the last substitution in the 80th minute bringing forward Fernando Torres in place of forward Jeremy Menez. Point is that neither Torres could help the rossoneri to grab the victory.

Hello my friends. Here are Italy Serie Results for Week 8 – Matchday 8 on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October 2014. Let me tell you, guys, AS Roma wasted a golden chance to catch Juventus for the leadership after the goalless draw 0-0 against Sampdoria. Roma was supposed to win the game not only to lift the morale of the team after the humiliated defeat in Champions League against Bayern Munich with a 7-1, but also for the fans! Juventus defeating Cesena and keep the first position with 22 points and 3 points ahead of Roma. The solo flight for the Scudetto continues…. all Juventus. Up to Roma to keep up the race and not slow down next week.
The top scorer up to Round 8: Napoli forward Jose Maria Callejon wiht 7 goals
It’s rocking party time for CAGLIARI! Mamma mia, hello, what a goleada! Cagliari defeating Empoli at the Carlo Castellani Stadium with a poker, yep, Empoli 0 – 4 Cagliari! What a way from players to show Cagliari coach Zdenek Zeman their support. It’s a historic victory for Cagliari because this is the first time that Cagliari defeat Empoli. Previous 4 precedents in Serie A between Empoli and Cagliari with Empoli winning all 4 games. Champagne must be free today….. Zemanmania!
A major blow for PARMA suffering another painful defeat to remain in the last position of the Serie A. Sassuolo defeating Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium: Parma 0 – 3 Sassuolo. Surely, it’s a black crisis for Parma sinking lower… almost predestining a spot in Serie B.
