In the second half, Inter completed their comeback. Marcus Thuram converted a pull-back from Andy Diouf, putting Inter ahead 3-2. Pio Esposito extended the lead to 4-2 with a low drive after a passing sequence involving Curtis Jones and Piotr Zielinski. Ange-Yoan Bonny sealed the win with Inter's fifth goal, initially saved but then slotted home after a build-up involving Federico Dimarco and Diouf.
Udinese managed to score a late consolation through Idrissa Gueye in added time, assisted by Vakoun Bayo. The match concluded with a final score of 5-3 for Inter.
