Inter Milan Edge Past Fiorentina with Late Penalty to Reclaim Top Spot in Serie A

Inter Milan secured a dramatic comeback victory over Fiorentina at the San Siro, returning to the summit of the Serie A standings alongside Lazio. Despite dominating the first half under Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri fell behind early in the second period when Alex Jimenez unleashed a powerful strike into the top corner past David de Gea.

The hosts piled on pressure in search of an equalizer, which finally arrived in the 90th minute through Marcus Thuram. Deep into stoppage time, Thuram was brought down inside the box, allowing Piotr Zielinski to convert the resulting penalty and snatch all three points, dealing a heavy blow to the relegation-threatened visitors.
