Before this game Inter were fifth in the Serie A standings, just one point behind fourth-placed AC Milan and three adrift of Lazio and a bad result against Catania could have been decisive to fulfill the main objective, 3rd place which leads to qualification for the Champions League.
Although Inter had plenty of players unavailable for this match,  Andrea Stramaccioni was hoping for a victory which would take them closer to 3rd place in the table.
Inter started the game very poorly and in the 19th minute Catania had already 2-0. Gonzalo Bergessio opened the scoring in the 7th minute after an  error from Inter’s defensive and in the 19th minute Giovanni Marchese increased  the score to 2-0.
After a first half dominated by Catania,Stramaccioni was very inspired and replace Rocchi and Kuzmanovic with  Rodrigo Palacio and Dejan Stankovic. They  had totally changed the  team and only 7 minutes after halftime Ricardo Alvarez scored. After this goal Inter forced the equalizing and in the 70th minute Palacio scored the equalizer.
When no one expected, Palacio managed to bring Inter’s victory in 93th minute and sent the Inter’s fans into delirium.
After this superb comeback Inter remains in the race for the Champions League place and they will travel to London for the game against Tottenham Hotspur in Europa League.
