  "account": "Rome, September 12 — In a pivotal Serie A match on Friday, Fiorentina secured their maiden points of the season with a 4-2 triumph over Venezia, thanks to a remarkable hat-trick from Argentinian teenager Franco Mastantuono. The young player, currently on loan from Real Madrid, netted twice within a minute in the 30th minute to mark his Serie A debut with goals. Within six minutes of rejoining the game, Fiorentina midfielder Mateo Pellegrino extended the lead with a well-taken sixth goal. Italian midfielder Antoine Hainaut, capitalizing on a defensive lapse, pulled one back for Venezia with just four minutes remaining. Despite facing a challenging start to the season, Fiorentina climbed to the 15th spot in the standings, while Venezia plummeted to the bottom, having lost all four of their matches and conceded 11 goals in total. The victory came after Fiorentina made a strategic move by rehiring Paolo Vanoli on Monday, replacing sacked manager Fabio Grosso, who had lost his first three games.",
