With the score at 1-0 in favor of Fiorentina, Inter intensified their offensive efforts. Thuram claimed a penalty after being fouled by Viery, and Carlos Augusto came close to equalizing, hitting the crossbar twice. Their persistence paid off when Thuram finally scored by connecting with Andy Diouf at the edge of the box, leveling the match.

Inter then secured their victory when Thuram earned a penalty after being pulled down by Victor Valdepenas. Piotr Zielinski confidently converted the penalty, giving Inter a 2-1 lead. This result allowed Inter Milan to match Lazio at the top of the Serie A table with 22 points, while Fiorentina remained in the relegation zone with only four points.
