Joaquin strikes late Fiorentina winner to beat AC Milan

Fiorentina beat AC Milan at home in the league for the first time since November 2005 thanks to Joaquin's 89th-minute winner.

Joaquin struck in the 89th minute to earn Fiorentina victory over AC Milan this evening in the 150th Serie A meeting between the two sides.

The match was an end-to-end affair from the off as both teams created chances in the early stages but failed to open the scoring before half time.

Keisuke Honda and Jeremy Menez spurned opportunities for the away side, while Jose Maria Basanta planted a header against the crossbar at the other end.

It would be Milan to break the deadlock 10 minutes after the restart and it was a somewhat fortunate goal as Giacomo Bonaventura wildly sliced a shot at goal that was turned home by the alert Mattia Destro.

Milan held on to their lead until the 83rd minute when Gonzalo Rodriguez headed home Joaquin's deep cross.

The visitors ended up leaving with nothing as Joaquin met Manuel Pasqual's cross late on to earn Fiorentina their first home league win over Milan in almost 10 years.

Fiorentina stretch their unbeaten run at home to seven games. They remain fifth in the table, four points behind third-placed Lazio. Milan are 10th and now 10 points behind Fiorentina in the European spots.
