Inter Milan Stages Late Comeback to Beat Fiorentina 2-1

Inter Milan scored two late goals to pull off a stunning 2-1 comeback against Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday. This win puts them back on top of Serie A.

Alex Jimenez gave Fiorentina the lead with a powerful strike, surprising everyone. But in the 91st minute, Marcus Thuram equalized. He then won a penalty that Piotr Zielinski converted in the 98th minute.

With this result, Inter Milan moved to first place, tying with Lazio, both teams now on 22 points. Fiorentina, on the other hand, is still struggling, having not won in four games and sitting at 18th place.

Cristian Chivu’s team played well in the first half but could not score. David de Gea, the Fiorentina goalkeeper, made a fingertip save from a Pio Esposito header. He also reacted quickly to block Thuram’s angled shot.

De Gea was busy again, pushing a powerful shot from Thuram over the bar early in the second half. But against the run of play, Fiorentina scored first after 65 minutes.

Alex Jimenez, a former AC Milan player, caught debutant Inter goalkeeper Ivan Provedel off guard. He struck from a distance, sending the ball into the top corner of the net.

Inter Milan pushed hard for an equalizer. Carlos Augusto's header hit the top of the bar, and De Gea stopped a shot from substitute Petar Sucic. But they could not find a goal until injury time.

Thuram scored to level the match, shooting into the bottom corner. He then won a penalty after being brought down by Victor Valdepenas in the box. Zielinski stepped up to convert the penalty and seal the thrilling victory.
