Inter Milan’s lead at the top of Serie A was reduced to six points after a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, while fourth-placed Como continued their historic Champions League charge by crushing Pisa 5-0.
Inter Milan missed the chance to maintain their commanding advantage at the Serie A summit, settling for a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened Fiorentina on Sunday.
Despite a dream start with Pio Esposito’s first-minute header, the Nerazzurri were pegged back by Cher Ndour’s late equalizer.
Assistant coach Aleksandar Kolarov admitted the fatigue of a dense schedule was showing, stating, “We didn’t put in our best performance and we’re not in our best form but we’re six points in the lead so it’s all in our hands.”
The result has opened the door for AC Milan, who sit second on 63 points after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Torino.
Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas’ Como solidified their grip on fourth place with a dominant 5-0 win against Pisa, moving three points clear of Juventus.
As the league enters the international break, the race for both the title and European spots has intensified, with Inter now winless in their last three outings and facing a rejuvenated chasing pack.
