Inter responds with character and grabs the lead with force
What a game, friends. Inter Milan was on the ropes. Down 0-2 at home to Como, with the clock running in the first half. But this team has something special this season.
Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries were the heroes, each with two goals. The key was Thuram’s goal just before the break. That much changed the entire script of the match.
“It was another encouraging sign for Inter after a 5-2 win over Roma last weekend that ended a three-game winless streak.”
The mentality of Cristian Chivu’s team is impressive. Coming back from 0-2 is not just a matter of technical quality, it is a matter of character. And they have plenty of it.
The advantage widens thanks to the Neapolitan setback
While Inter suffered but won, Napoli, their closest pursuer, tied 1-1 with Parma. They conceded a goal after 33 seconds! Scott McTominay gave them a point at the end, but it wasn’t enough.
With six games left to play, the Nerazzurri’s advantage is now nine points. You can see the ears of the wolf of the title.
For Como, who had played a great game with goals from Alex Valle and Nico Paz, it was a bucket of cold water. They fall from fourth to fifth place, just outside the places for the next Champions League.
In other results, Bologna beat Lecce 2-0 and Genoa did the same 2-1 against Sassuolo.
Today’s lesson is clear: in this final stretch, champions are made by coming back when it seems impossible. Inter gave a masterful display today.
