Thuram and Dumfries overturn Como, Inter flies to +9 over Napoli

Great step toward the Scudetto for Inter. In the round in which Napoli slows down (1-1 in Parma) and AC Milan falls against Udinese, the Nerazzurri make no mistake: the 4-3 comeback at the end of a match full of goals, spectacle and tension is worth a big chunk of the tricolor.

Under the eyes of Henry and Varane, Como started with an offensive set-up and immediately attacked Inter, although without creating great initial chances. The first real thrill came through Perrone, then it was Valle who unlocked the match in the 36th minute, taking advantage of an inaccurate clearance by Sommer on Nico Paz. In the final minutes of the first half, the same Paz signed the doubling (45′), but Inter reacted immediately: in the recovery Barella served Thuram, who shortened the gap.

In the second half, the Nerazzurri changed gears and found the equalizer in the 49th minute, taking advantage of a serious mistake between Kempf and Butez: Thuram took advantage and sealed the 2-2 with a lob. From that moment Dumfries took the lead, starring with two decisive raids that allowed Inter to stretch to 4-2.

Como, however, did not give up: Da Cunha shortened on a penalty in the 89th minute and, in the salvage, Jacobo Ramon came close to a resounding equalizer by hitting the crossbar. In the end, Chivu can rejoice: Inter flies to +9 over Napoli with six days to go, moving ever closer to the Scudetto, while Como slips to fifth place, overtaken by Juventus.
