Inter Milan Comeback and Consolidates Leadership in Serie A
In an exciting Serie A matchday, Inter Milan staged a spectacular comeback to defeat Como 4-3, securing a nine-point lead at the top of the standings, with six matchdays remaining until the end of the tournament.
Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries were the figures of the match, each scoring two goals for Inter. This triumph adds to the advantage obtained after Napoli’s 1-1 draw, their main pursuer, against Parma.
The Como, for its part, had taken the lead with goals from Alex Valle and Nico Paz in the first half. However, Thuram started Inter’s reaction before halftime, and Lucas Da Cunha scored a penalty for Como in the 89th minute.
This clash anticipates the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals, which will be played at the end of this month, following a goalless draw in the first leg.
This positive result comes after the 5-2 victory over Roma last week, which ended a three-match winless streak for Inter.
Cristian Chivu, in his first season as Inter’s coach, seeks to conquer Serie A, after replacing Simone Inzaghi.
Como, after this defeat, dropped from fourth to fifth place, falling out of the Champions League qualifying zone.

Scott McTominay equalized for Napoli after Gabriel Strefezza scored early, in a play that began with a long pass from Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
This tie ended a streak of five consecutive victories for Napoli.
