Inter Stages Dramatic 5-3 Comeback Win Against Udinese in Serie A Thriller
Inter Milan achieved a stunning comeback for the second Serie A match running, defeating Udinese 5-3 in a chaotic San Siro encounter. This followed their previous 3-2 win against Napoli after being down 2-0.
Udinese took an unexpected early lead. James Abankwah headed in a cross from Unai Gomez, marking his first Serie A goal. The visitors then doubled their advantage when Jurgen Ekkelenkamp tapped in a low cross from Keinan Davis, capitalizing on Inter's slow reaction.
Inter pulled one back through a powerful strike from Carlos Augusto, a goal that echoed his recent effort against Real Madrid. The equalizer came quickly as Niccolò Barella, after recovering from a slight stumble, fired in an angled shot to level the score before halftime.
In the second half, Inter completed their comeback. Marcus Thuram converted a pull-back from Andy Diouf, putting Inter ahead 3-2. Pio Esposito extended the lead to 4-2 with a low drive after a passing sequence involving Curtis Jones and Piotr Zielinski. Ange-Yoan Bonny sealed the win with Inter's fifth goal, initially saved but then slotted home after a build-up involving Federico Dimarco and Diouf.
Udinese managed to score a late consolation through Idrissa Gueye in added time, assisted by Vakoun Bayo. The match concluded with a final score of 5-3 for Inter.
