FOOTBALL EUROPE: Fiorentina and Napoli enjoy Sunday scalps

/noticias.info/ Substitute Daniel Pablo Osvaldo struck an added-time winner as ACF Fiorentina moved a point behind Juventus with a 3-2 victory in Turin – their first away victory over the Bianconeri in two decades. SSC Napoli also enjoyed a notable success as they became the first club to beat the champions FC Internazionale Milano in Serie A this term.

Open race
Osvaldo kept his cool in the dying seconds, capitalising on some lax defending to head in Papa Waigo's cross to seal a first Viola victory at Juve since 15 May 1988. It completed a memorable contribution for Senegalese winter-signing Waigo, who had made it 2-2 only 15 minutes before having come on as a second-half substitute. Until then Juve had seemed destined for victory after Mohamed Sissoko (29) and Mauro Camoranesi (60) had cancelled out Massimo Gobbi's 19th-minute opener. Victory would have sent Juve seven points clear in Italy's third UEFA Champions League berth but Osvaldo prevented that, even if he did then receive a second yellow card for taking off his shirt in the subsequent celebration.

Penalty save
At the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Marcelo Zalayeta capitalised on a misjudgment from Inter goalkeeper Júlio César to score with a lobbed finish in the third minute. The Brazilian made amends by saving a Zalayeta penaly in the 73rd but it was not enough to prevent the Nerazzurri slipping to defeat, meaning they remain six points clear of an AS Roma team who underlined their intent by seeing off Parma FC 4-0 yesterday. Napoli are in eleventh on 33 points, six behind sixth-placed Udinese Calcio after Pasquale Marino's men enjoyed a return to form with a 2-0 triumph at home to Atalanta BC today.

Cagliari hit form
At the other end of the table there was also a welcome victory for bottom side Cagliari Calcio, who recorded a second victory in five days by seeing off Genoa CFC 2-1. AS Livorno Calcio moved out of the relegation zone at the expense of opponents Calcio Catania thanks to a 1-0 victory, while AC Siena won 2-0 at Empoli FC in another fixture pitting two struggling sides together. Antonio Cassano scored and was sent off as UC Sampdoria were held 2-2 by Torino FC, and Reggina Calcio and US Città di Palermo also shared the spoils with a goalless draw. notas_de_prensa_archivo
