Inter Milan Defeats Como, Moves to Third

Inter Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Como, with goals from Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram, to maintain their third-place standing in Serie A and close the gap on leaders Atalanta and Napoli. The match marked the first top division encounter between the teams since 2003, and despite a lackluster first half, Inter dominated possession and finally found the net early in the second half. This win brings Inter to 37 points, just three behind Atalanta and one behind Napoli, with a game in hand. Meanwhile, Fiorentina fell to a 2-1 defeat against Udinese, missing the opportunity to climb to fourth place, as they could not hold onto their early lead after conceding two second-half goals. The match was particularly notable for Edoardo Bove, who returned to the sidelines for Fiorentina after a heart issue led to a previous game suspension. Udinese remains in ninth place, while Fiorentina sits fifth in the league standings.
