In a dramatic match at San Siro, Internazionale staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Fiorentina and climb to the top of Serie A with a 2-1 victory. The Viola, who had only one win all season and were in the relegation zone, started the day on a low note. Internazionale made a positive start and frustrated the champions until the 28th minute when Andy Diouf's first-time shot came close to hitting the post.
Lautaro Martinez, who was injured, was the spearhead for Inter and tested David De Gea with a shot from a tight angle, which the goalkeeper saved. Pio Esposito headed a cross towards the goal, but De Gea made a crucial save. Inter started the second half with enthusiasm, and De Gea denied Thuram again. Alex Jimenez, who appeared to be out injured, returned and scored a thunderous strike from 30 yards out to give the visitors the lead.
Thuram was not given a penalty when he was fouled by Viery, but he eventually found the goal with a deft finish in stoppage time. Hakan Calhanoglu also impressed with his set-piece deliveries, which Carlos Augusto failed to convert twice. Despite Inter's struggles, the Frenchman finally secured the win with a penalty in the last minute of added time, sealing a crucial victory for the Nerazzurri and moving them to the top of the table.
