“It is not a bad result,” Inter coach Jose Mourinho
said. “Considering we were at home it gives us a bit
of an advantage. We know it is never easy to play in
Florence, but I would say we have the advantage.
“I am happier with the result than the way we played.
I was expecting more from us in the second half, but
Fiorentina controlled the midfield.”
After a cagey start Inter had the first chance of the
match, in the 24th. Sulley Muntari flicked on a long
ball to Wesley Sneijder, but Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien
Frey pushed his shot wide.
Three minutes later Frey made another stop, this time
of Maicon’s powerful volley from Balotelli’s cross.
Inter took the lead in the 34th. Balotelli beat Fiorentina’s
offside trap and squared the ball for Milito, who got
ahead of Manuel Pasqual to score.
Juan Vargas had Fiorentina’s best chance two minutes
later, but shot low and wide after Alberto Gilardino
played him into space.
After the break Fiorentina went straight on the attack,
but after good approach play Mario Santana shot weakly
at Inter stopper Francesco Toldo.
Milito thought he had doubled his tally in the 57th,
but Sneijder was offside when he fired home the rebound
from Goran Pandev’s effort.
Stevan Jovetic then squandered a free header for Fiorentina.
Pasqual crossed from the left, but Jovetic headed tamely
wide.
As the match came to a close Sneijder went close with
a free kick in the 71st, and Jovetic fired wide from
a corner in the closing minutes.
