Maldini celebrates record with Milan victory
ROME, Sept 25 (Reuters) - AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini celebrated his record 571st appearance in Italy's top flight by helping his side to a 2-0 win over bottom side Treviso on Sunday.
Milan's city rivals Inter beat in-form Fiorentina 1-0 at the San Siro in Sunday's later game, Obafemi Martins netting the only goal in the 7th minute, taking his side in to second place in the table, on 12 points. Palermo wasted a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 against Lazio at Rome's Olympic Stadium, allowing Livorno to move third after their unbeaten start continued with a 2-0 win over Ascoli. Treviso's chances of picking up their first point of the season seemed remote as Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo forced a diving save from keeper Adriano Zancope with a long-range effort after less than two minutes. After overcoming a stuttering start, however, the home side found their rhythm and Brazilian striker Reginaldo gave Milan a scare when he narrowly failed to connect with a cross that flashed dangerously across the box. It needed a moment of individual brilliance by another Brazilian, Kaka, to
put Milan ahead a minute before the interval.
