Internazionale staged a remarkable comeback to secure a vital victory over AS Roma, triumphing with a scoreline of 4-2. This crucial win now places Inter seven points ahead at the summit of Serie A.
Inter Milan’s French forward, Marcus Thuram, was the hero of the night as he celebrated scoring an equalizer during the thrilling Italian Serie A football match between AS Roma and Inter Milan at the Olympic stadium in Rome on February 10, 2024.
In a nail-biting encounter, Inter came from behind to secure a 4-2 victory over Roma, extending their lead at the top of Serie A to a comfortable seven points. This win also marked the end of Daniele De Rossi’s perfect start as the Giallorossi boss in the capital.
De Rossi, who took over from Jose Mourinho last month on a deal until the end of the season, had won his first three games in charge. However, facing an unbeaten Inter side in Serie A since September was always going to be a daunting task.
The match started with Francesco Acerbi heading the visitors in front amidst torrential rain after 17 minutes. But Roma responded brilliantly, with Gianluca Mancini nodding in a free-kick to equalize. The momentum swung in Roma’s favor when Stephan El Shaarawy’s shot hit both posts before finding the back of the net, giving them the lead just before half-time.
However, Inter showed their determination in the second half, coming out all guns blazing. It took them only four minutes to equalize, with Marcus Thuram calmly tucking in a cross. The pressure from Thuram then forced Angelino into an unfortunate own goal just six minutes later, putting Inter in the lead.
The game continued to provide thrilling moments, with Benjamin Pavard hitting the post with a sensational volley and Romelu Lukaku missing a golden opportunity one-on-one with Yann Sommer as the goalkeeper snatched the ball away.
In the end, Inter emerged victorious, showcasing their resilience and quality. This win not only extends their lead at the top of Serie A but also sends a strong message to their rivals that they are a force to be reckoned with.
