Fiorentina-Inter, here is the video with highlights and highlights of the Sunday evening match on January 28, 2024 Serie A, with moviola episodes and report cards.
After winning the Super Cup in Arabia, Inzaghi’s Inter get back to thinking about the league with the very complicated away match in Florence. The Nerazzurri are missing Barella and Calhanoglu disqualified for added cautions, but Inzaghi’s men know they can take back the top of the standings (even with a game to spare) after Juventus’ draw against Empoli.
Italian Fiorentina, on the other hand, needs to win after the ugly defeat in Arabia against Napoli and to overtake the fourth-place contenders again. There is a debut for Faraoni on the defensive flank. In attack, the Viola rely on Betran, with Ikone, Bonaventura and Nzola (last-minute favorite for Sottil) in the three-quarter.
Inzaghi relies on Asllani as director and also gives space to de Vrij in the center of defense, Carlos Augusto on the left flank and Frattesi in midfield. In attack, there is always the Lautaro-Thuram pair.
Highlights of the challenge
Inter suffered from Fiorentina’s aggressiveness and made several mistakes in the first minutes. On 9′ Lautaro finds himself in front of Terracciano: the goalkeeper lifts it over the crossbar. Thuram scorched the defense and packed a perfect assist for Augusto on 14′, but the Brazilian was beaten in extremis by Faraoni. On the next corner, Lautaro surprises the Viola goalkeeper with his header: it’s 0-1. Fiorentina tries futilely first with Bonaventura and then with Ikone, without creating any danger to Sommer.
Terracciano stops Frattesi in the 33′, a minute later it is Sommer who stops Bonaventura on a shot from a safe distance. Nzola in the final seconds is bricked by Bastoni, who saves the Nerazzurri goal. In the second half Lautaro has a couple of chances to put in the one-two but fails to finish in the best possible way.
Sommer comes out with his fist and hits Nzola’s head at 73′: it’s a penalty according to VAR. Nico Gonzales shoots but he does it very badly, and the Swiss goalkeeper can block the ball. Fiorentina tries to attack but without creating any more real danger.

The best player on the field is Lautaro Martinez: the Argentine scores at the moment when the game seemed to be in Viola’s hands and then plays very well as a function of the team, breaking free behind the goal and creating chances for his teammates (7.5). Faraoni shows personality and determination (7).
Nzola is a constant thorn in the side for the Inter defense: he puts in physicality and speed (6.5). On the other side, the fastest is Thuram, always ready to burn opponents in counterattacks but not very functional in closing down actions (6.5). Carlos Augusto is Inter’s least accurate and consistent (5.5). Terracciano shows off great saves (6.5). Even better than him is Sommer (7). Asllani’s performance is positive (6.5). De Vrij suffers Nzola (5.5). Very bad Nico: a penalty kicked like that is a serious mistake (5).
Moviola and highlights of the match
