Serie A Saturday Review

Serie A Saturday Review

A review of Saturday's action in the Serie A. Both Inter Milan and Juventus clinched wins in their respective matches.

Ivan Cordoba's late winner in a 3-2 victory sent Internazionale back to the top of the table after basement side Reggina had threatened a shock comeback at the Stadio Oreste Granillo.

The visitors had established a two-goal lead with first-half strikes from Sisenado Maicon and Patrick Vieira.

But Reggina hit back with strikes from Francesco Cozza and Franco Brienza either side of half-time to heighten the prospect of an upset.

Cordoba, however, scored in stoppage time to spare Inter's blushes.

With their title rivals playing on Sunday, Inter moved to the top of Serie A with a one point advantage over Napoli and Udinese while Reggina remain rooted to the bottom of the table after recording their seventh defeat in 10 games this season.

Alessandro Del Piero inspired Juventus to a 2-0 victory over Roma on Saturday night, lifting the Bianconeri to fifth and leaving their opponents struggling just above the bottom three in Serie A.

The Italy striker scored a stunning free-kick in the 38th minute before providing the second goal for Marco Marchionni three minutes into the second half.

That was enough to make it four wins in a row for Claudio Ranieri's side, leaving Roma reeling on the back of five successive defeats and their coach Luciano Spalletti fearing for his job.
