The news of Inter-Fiorentina
Inter comeback to win 2-1 against Fiorentina. Balanced match at the start at San Siro, then Chivu's team becomes dangerous - especially with Thuram - but doesn't score. In the second half the Nerazzurri were still aggressive, but it was Fiorentina who managed to break the deadlock in the 65th minute thanks to Jimenez's goal, with a right-footed shot from distance. The home team reached the 90th minute trailing by a goal, then reversed the result in injury time: in the 91st minute Thuram equalised, in the 97th minute the 2-1 was scored on a penalty - awarded due to a hold by Valdepenas on Thuram - by Zielinski. The three points go to Inter, who are top of the championship with Lazio on 22.
