Internazionale vs Udinese

Inter came from 2-0 down to beat Udinese 5-3 in a thrilling San Siro shootout, with the reigning champions turning an early scare into a statement comeback. Udinese stunned the hosts with quick strikes from Abankwah (9') and Ekkelenkamp (16'), but Inter hit back through Carlos Augusto (26') and Barella (35') to level by half-time. The floodgates opened after the break as Thuram (57'), Esposito (67') and Bonny (79') all found the net, with Gueye adding a stoppage-time consolation for the visitors in the 90+1st minute. Inter's afternoon was briefly overshadowed when Kolarov was sent off from the bench in the 19th minute for protesting. The result sends Inter top of Serie A on 12 points from four games, level with Roma, and underlines the squad depth Cristian Chivu can call on off the bench. For Udinese, there's plenty to build on offensively, but conceding five after leading 2-0 exposes defensive issues Runjaić must address quickly.
