He Inter de Milanwith a bit of Lautaro Martínezregained the lead of Serie A after defeating the Fiorentinawho wasted a penalty in the boots of Nico González to tie the match in the last quarter of an hour.

Alexis Sánchez’s Inter – who came on in the 78th minute – played with fire and was about to get burned. He almost got the puncture by speculating on the result. He sat back for almost the entire match and gave up control to Fiorentina, who were very innocent in the last few meters. And, with a header from Lautaro coming off a corner, he sealed the match.

Juventus’ defeat (1-1 against Empoli) gave Inter an opportunity to regain the lead they lost three days ago. Between the third and twentieth, he ruled Serie A with an iron fist, but the postponed match against Atalanta It gave the ‘Vecchia Signora’ an opportunity to occupy a space that they have only enjoyed for a couple of weeks.

And Inter did not have a simple commitment. Fiorentina, despite its last two consecutive failures (defeat against Sassuolo and draw with Udinese), is a strong candidate to finish the season in one of the six places with access to Europe.

As a consequence of this need, ‘Fiore’ managed to take control of the ball. Especially during the first part. Inter didn’t care either. He played something else, sharpening his daggers to destroy his rival with Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram, the most insistent and vertical, with flashes of light.

In the opening act, control of the game barely served Fiorentina to score a goal. Nzola M’Bala who was disallowed for offside and to almost score the goal with a shot by Giacomo Bonaventura that was saved by Yann Sommer with a good intervention. The rest of the occasions, despite not having greater possession, were played by Inter.

Lautaro Martínez inaugurated the carousel of opportunities. Very soon he gave his first warning, but Pietro Terracciano intervened in time to prevent Inter’s first goal. Moments later Thuram tried without success and finally, after a quarter of an hour, he was the Argentine forward who scored a great header after a corner taken by Asllani.

It was enough for the men of Simone Inzaghi, who left satisfied to the locker rooms. With great efficiency and without excess brilliance, they achieved a very valuable advantage heading into the second act.

Vincenzo Italiano He reacted with Maxime López entering the field of play. He took Arthur Melo off the field in search of more imbalance. Not long after, he opted for Nico González. He wanted more fang and partly found it. Fiorentina was more incisive, but left more space for Inter, whose threat in each counterattack was sniffed from a distance.

However, an involuntary punch from Sommer to Bala Nzola gave the ‘Fiore’ an opportunity in the form of a penalty. Nico González took responsibility and threw it fatally. Loose, in the center, easy for Sommer, who stopped him to correct his mistake and keep Inter ahead on the scoreboard.

But there was still a quarter of an hour left. Fiorentina tried by all means to get a reward for their dominance, but Inter defended well. He withstood his rival’s attacks and ended with a victory that helped him regain the lead in Serie A.
