Inter turned the game around in stoppage time
Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 2–1 after a late turnaround. The visitors had led since the 65th minute, when Alejandro Jimenez found the net. Inter equalised only in stoppage time.
Marcus Thuram scored the 1–1 goal. In one of the following attacks, the striker was fouled in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty. Piotr Zieliński stepped up and decided the match in the 97th minute.
The Polish midfielder started the match on the bench. He came on in the 78th minute, replacing Hakan Calhanoglu, and settled the match several minutes later. Fiorentina not only surrendered their lead, but also lost a point that had seemed almost within their grasp.
Zieliński kept his composure for the decisive penalty
Zieliński took responsibility for the penalty in the 97th minute and struck it powerfully under the crossbar. The goal gave Inter the win. Italian outlets focused above all on the Pole’s composure under pressure.
Tuttomercatoweb, Eurosport, SportMediaset, Corriere della Sera and Goal.com gave him a 7. Their comments included phrases such as “ice-cold composure” and “cool-headedness.” FCInterNews rated the midfielder slightly lower, at 6.5, but also praised his courage in stepping up at such an important moment.
The outlet L’Interista also gave Zieliński a 7. It noted that the Pole had little to do after coming on, but decided the match with his penalty. Several outlets therefore painted the same picture: limited involvement in the game, but full responsibility for the decisive shot.
