you need to use find_element_by_xpath not find_elements_by_xpath that return a list

driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]").click()

Also i think is better to use Waits for example.

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By    
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

options = Options()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options)

path = "/html/body/div[5]/section/div[8]/div[1]/a[1]"
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(
                           EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, path)))
    element.click()
finally:
    driver.quit()
