Serie sees L’Inter Milan overturn deficit as Marcus Thuram scores

At the Giuseppe Meazza stadium on Sunday, supporters of L’Inter Milan packed the terraces hoping for drama, only to witness a late turnaround. Trailing after the 65th minute, the Nerazzurri fought back and, thanks to a Marcus Thuram strike in stoppage time, secured a 2‑1 victory over Fiorentina.

Second place fuels home push

Following Lazio’s 2‑1 win over Parma, the Nerazzurri moved into second place in Serie A. The victory left them one point behind the Romans, and their only aim on Sunday was to claim three points at home to keep the title chase alive. A win would have given them a chance to leapfrog Lazio in the standings.

Fiorentina entered the match deep in the relegation zone, sitting eighteenth and described as “in the red”. Their recent form had been poor, making the encounter a crucial test for both sides.

Late goals seal comeback

Inter dominated the opening half, registering three times more attempts and shots on target than Fiorentina, yet goalkeeper David De Gea repeatedly denied them. Despite the pressure, the Nerazzurri failed to find the net before the break.

Stoppage time finally delivered a response when Marcus Thuram struck in the 90+1 minute, restoring parity at 1‑1. The goal revived the home crowd’s hopes in the dying moments.
