Serie A: Adriano paces Inter Milan
The Brazilian striker Adriano scored two goals Sunday as Inter Milan beat Udinese, 3-1, in Serie A.
An Andrea Pirlo strike gave AC Milan a 1-0 victory at Cagliari, moving Milan three points behind first-place Juventus. Chievo Verona moved up to third with a second-half goal from Matteo Brighi in an impressive 1-0 victory at Lazio. For Inter, Adriano opened the scoring at the San Siro with a scorching free-kick from 30 meters, or 90 feet, out and then made it 2-0 four minutes later with a solo effort, dribbling from deep in his own half before firing home. After Stefano Mauri scored for Udinese, Christian Vieri made it 3-1 for Inter with his first goal of the season. On Saturday, Juventus beat Messina, 2-1. The teams had entered the match unbeaten, but the traditional power topped the surprise team from Sicily with goals by Marcelo Zalayeta and Pavel Nedved. Messina, in Serie A for the first time since 1965, brought a huge group of supporters to Turin but was unable to produce another upset after its triumphs over AC Milan and Roma. Juve took the lead in the 26th minute when Zalayeta, in for the injured David Trezeguet, headed home a Mauro Camoranesi cross. Ten minutes after the break, Nedved made it 2-0.
Vincenzo Montella showed a return to form as Roma won 2-0 in Livorno for its first away victory of the Serie A season. Montella set up the opening goal for Francesco Totti on the half-hour then scored his sixth of the season with a superb solo goal in the 69th minute. |
