Badu's ball over the top was superb and Thereau beat Samir Handanovic with a sweet volley from 14 yards.Orestis Karnezis made a good save from a drive from Geoffrey Kondogbia, back for Inter after suspension, before Marcelo Brozovic had a fine chance but his shot was blocked. Inter equalised in the 36th minute, with Jovetic scoring his first Serie A goal since the reverse fixture in December.Icardi did well to roll the defender and his low cross, which may have been intended as a shot, was tapped home by Jovetic. Edenilson forced a fine save from Handanovic shortly after half-time and Silvan Widmer could not quite reach the rebound.Widmer then teed up Bruno Fernandes, whose 20-yard strike caught the top of the crossbar, and the rapid pace of the second half continued when Karnezis superbly tipped Brozovic's shot around the post. Jovetic tested Karnezis with a viciously swerving strike after 63 minutes, the goalkeeper shovelling the ball wide, before Icardi shot off target from just outside the box.Inter had not come from behind to win in Serie A all season, but they took the lead with 15 minutes to play. Biabiany got down the right wing and produced a sublime cross which Jovetic chested into the open goal from a few yards out with Karnezis nowhere to be seen.Thereau and Widmer went close to equalising for Udinese and Handanovic made a superb block to deny Zapata, with Eder scoring his first Inter goal on the break to seal a sixth home victory in seven games at San Siro.</blockquote>
