Inter Milan stormed back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Como 4-3 in a thrilling Serie A clash, extending their lead to nine points with six games remaining. Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries each scored twice, sparking the comeback after Alex Valle and Nico Paz netted for Como in the first half. Lucas Da Cunha added a penalty in the 89th minute, but Inter held firm. The result keeps Inter atop the table, with Napoli's 1-1 draw at Parma allowing them to widen the gap. The match also sets up a Italian Cup semifinal rematch, as the teams split their first-leg encounter 0-0.

The victory erases a three-match winless streak for Inter, who previously routed Roma 5-2. Coach Cristian Chivu, in his first season at the helm, continues to stabilize the team after Simone Inzaghi's departure. Como, now fifth and outside Champions League contention, dropped from fourth after the loss. Their late push fell short, highlighting the pressure Inter faces to maintain momentum.

Napoli's draw against Parma underscores their vulnerability, ending a five-match winning streak. Gabriel Strefezza's early goal and Scott McTominay's equalizer kept the match level, but the result may derail their title defense. Meanwhile, Parma climbed to 14th, nine points clear of relegation, while Bologna and Genoa secured wins, tightening the mid-table race.

With Inter's dominance and Napoli's faltering form, the Serie A title race intensifies. The upcoming Italian Cup rematch and remaining fixtures will test Inter's resolve, as Chivu aims to cement his legacy in his debut season.
