On Sunday, Inter Milan secured the top spot in Serie A with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in a match played at San Siro. The crucial 2-1 win was achieved after Alex Jimenez's goal for Fiorentina in the 9th minute, which was promptly equalized by Marcus Thuram in the 91st minute. However, Piotr Zielinski's penalty, converted in the 98th minute, proved decisive as Inter lifted themselves to first place, sharing the same 22 points with Lazio.
This win marked Inter's fifth comeback success of the season, yet they had already conceded ten times this season. Despite this defensive concern, coach Cristian Chivu remained undeterred, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive mentality. Meanwhile, AC Milan kicked off their league campaign strongly with a 2-0 win over Udinese, currently sitting fourth.
AC Milan's coach, Ruben Amorim, acknowledged the need for improvement but expressed pride in his team's adaptability. In the meantime, Juventus claimed a 2-0 victory over Lecce, climbing to seventh place after a string of poor results.
