Cristian Chivu's team now has a 6-point lead over Milan and 7 over Napoli, and after the break, they will face Roma. The Scudetto race has suddenly reopened.

👏🏻 MIRACLE De Gea on Esposito

At the 94th minute, David De Gea seals the 1-1 with a simply exceptional save on Pio Esposito.

A great turn from the young Italian forward, the ball travels fast and bounces on the ground, but the Spaniard reads it like a champion and manages to intercept it.

😡 Barella is FURIOUS after the substitution

As reported by DAZN, Nicolò Barella showed his fury at the time of the substitution. Not for Chivu's decision, but for his performance marred by the mistake on the 1-1 goal. The midfielder kept talking to himself and throwing everything within reach to the ground.

❗️ 1-1 Fiorentina, Ndour's tap-in

At the 77th minute, Fiorentina finds an equalizer they sought throughout the game with Cher Ndour. A great ball at the edge of the area from Fagioli finds Gudmundsson, the Icelandic's shot isn't perfect, but Sommer parries it short, and the midfielder scores into an empty net.

This is the player's fifth goal of the season, the second in the league. Vanoli is managing to enhance him beyond the expectations at the start of the season.

😤 Fiorentina frantic at the start of the second half

Fiorentina was very frantic in the first part of the second half. The Viola suffered little from Inter but couldn't build any clean actions, often speeding up the play and making mistakes.

Kean was also nervous, booked for a generous attempt to recover on Dumfries but made late.

😱 Kean misses a golden 1-1 chance

At the 29th minute, Fiorentina, in continuous push, misses a colossal opportunity with Moise Kean.

Parisi's thrust into the area, a pass to Brescianini who turns it to the far post. The forward tries to shoot with a stretch, but doesn't hit the ball well, and the attempt goes wide.

😬 Pio close to a double

Around the 20th minute, Inter comes close to doubling their lead: a great move in depth by Esposito, who burns Ranieri on Zielinski's through ball.

This time, the forward, with a reduced shooting angle, is hasty in crossing and doesn't hit the ball fully. The ball goes wide of De Gea's goal.

⚡️ LIGHTNING Goal Pio Esposito, 1-0 Inter after 41''

After just 41 seconds, Inter takes the lead with Pio Esposito. Cross from the right by Barella, distracted defense, and a perfect header by the forward.

A very clear message from the class of 2005 not only to the league but also to coach Gennaro Gattuso ahead of the National team's playoffs. He has scored 12 goals, including for the National team, and Barella has 7 assists this season.

🗣️ Paratici: "We are growing. On Kean and Gud..."

"With Marotta, I shared 14 years of professional journey, he taught me a lot. We were complementary, in fact, we have different roles and tasks. We know we need to keep our heads in the tank until May 24.

In the last 2-3 months, we have passed 2 Conference rounds and scored many points, there have been some lapses but we started from very far back. Kean comes from 2-3 weeks where he couldn't train well, but now he's better and that's why he's a starter. He will contribute to us and the National team. From Gudmundsson, we expect quality."

✅ The official line-ups

FIORENTINA (4-3-3): De Gea; Dodô, Pongračić, Ranieri, Gosens; Fagioli; Parisi, Brescianini, Ndour Gudmundsson; Kean.

INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Pio Esposito.

A significant absence for Fiorentina, missing a key player like Rolando Mandragora who stopped as a precaution due to a calf muscle problem.
