Fiorentina's Paolo Vanoli's side slowly gained momentum, and they had plenty of opportunities to level the score. Despite their slow start, La Viola showed signs of life, and it wasn't looking like a walkover for Inter.
Moise Kean came close to scoring, with a slide attempt on Marco Brescianini's cross going just wide. Albert Guðmundsson also had a chance, but his connection with Dodo's delivery was off, and the ball went behind.
Kean's late first-half goal was ruled out for offside, snatching away Fiorentina's chance to go into halftime with momentum.

Fiorentina seemed to lose steam after halftime, allowing Inter to create chances to extend their lead. However, Manuel Akanji and Marcus Thuram missed their opportunities from corner kicks. But, just like the first half, Fiorentina fought back and earned a well-deserved equalizer in the 77th minute. Cher Ndour pounced on a rebound, firing home from close range after Yann Sommer parried Gudmundsson's shot.
The hosts continued to push for a win, with Jack Harrison's shot going just wide of the post. Inter almost snatched a late winner, but David de Gea made a crucial save to deny Pio Esposito. The draw leaves Inter six points clear at the top, while Fiorentina moves two points above the relegation zone.
Fiorentina were on fire, and Jack Harrison's curling shot went just inches wide, hitting the post.
Fiorentina's recent revival continues, with the team remaining unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions (W3, D2). However, their 16th-place position in Serie A means they're still tending to their relegation worries, sitting just two points clear of the bottom three.
