The Centre Circle

This tightly contested game in Florence ended all square; a blow to Inter’s title hopes and they may lose top spot in Serie A this Sunday when Roma take on Atlalanta. A win for Roma will lift them a point clear at the top.

Fiorentina took the lead in the 11th minute when Brazilian Keirrison neatly finished from a Gianluca Comotto centre. Inter dominated most of the possession but were unable to break through until the 75th minute when Maicon picked a ball from a Sneijder pass and his cross was guided home by Milito. Five minutes late, a carbon copy goal gave Inter the lead, this time substitute Mario Balotelli squared for Samuel Eto’o to finish. The lead unfortunately did not last more than a minute. From a corner, the ball was flicked by an Inter head and in the scramble the player to react first was Fiorentina’s Danish defender Kroldrup  who poked the ball home.
