Andrey Shevchenko, a legend at Inter's city rivals AC Milan, scored the only goal of the first half after 21 minutes and it looked like being enough for a shock win.
Inter piled on the pressure in the second period and it finally paid off as the in-form Diego Milito equalised in the 86th minute and Wesley Sneijder won it one minute from time.
From bottom to topEven a draw would have kept the Italians bottom of Group F, but as it was they went top a point ahead of Rubin Kazan and Barcelona.
In the second minute, Sneijder fired over the bar, while at the other end Milos Ninkovic could not find the target from distance.
After 18 minutes Samuel Eto'o sent a wicked strike over from a narrow angle and just three minutes later his side were behind.
Artem Milevskiy controlled Roman Eremenko's throw into the path of Shevchenko, who controlled the ball on his chest before sending a looping volley over the reach of Julio Cesar.
Both sides produced some slick football, with one well-worked move from Inter finishing with a one-two between Diego Milito and Walter Samuel, but the former fired straight at Stanislav Bogush when he should have done better.
