It looked like Fiorentina was set to earn a shock victory after Alex Jimenez's goal, with David de Gea frustrating the host side at the other end, but Marcus Thuram found the equaliser before winning the penalty that ultimately secured all three points.

Inter struggled to make inroads early on, but turned up the heat after the half-hour mark, with De Gea keeping out Thuram with an outstretched leg before clawing a Francesco Pio Esposito header off the line a minute later.

Thuram kept pushing for a breakthrough before half-time, but was again thwarted by De Gea, who got down sharply to push his low strike away.

Marin Pongracic made an impressive block to deny Thuram early in the second half, while De Gea was well-placed to reflexively parry the Frenchman's volley shortly after.

However, Fiorentina broke the deadlock against the run of play in the 65th minute as Nicolo Fagioli intercepted a clearance and teed up Jimenez, who arrowed a stunning long-range effort into the top-right corner.

Carlos Augusto struck the crossbar twice in just over a minute; his glancing header skimmed the top before he got in front of his marker on a corner to flick it behind him and off the frame again.

De Gea once again leapt into action to deny Petar Sucic, but Thuram's persistence finally paid off in the 91st minute as his low shot trickled past the Spaniard and into the bottom-right corner.

Thuram continued to be a nuisance and was dragged down by Valde, with the referee pointing straight to the spot. Zielinski made no mistake when he stepped up, emphatically firing into the roof of the net, giving De Gea no chance.
