Juventus held to a draw by Siena, AS Roma rock Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Palermo record wins as well
Juventus 0-0 Siena, February 5, 2012
The Turin giants looked to create a significant gap between themselves and their closest title rivals, AC Milan. However, they failed to extend their dominance at the top and were held to a bore draw by another lowly-ranked opposition.
The game was a dull affair with chances coming few and far in between. The only real goal-scoring opportunity of the match came in the 14th minute when Danish defender, Frederik Sorenson, saw his marvellous swerving
effort parried away unconvincingly by Siena goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluca-Pegolo-c14830.
The Old Lady had a penalty appeal turned down in the 82nd minute, when the ball seemed to come off a Siena hand in the box, but the referee waved for play to move on.
AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 4-0 Inter Milan, February 5, 2012
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach, Claudio Ranieri, could not have witnessed much embarrassment at his return to the Stadio Olimpico. The Nerazzurri were trounced 4-0 by the Giallorossi in a one-sided contest.
Juan broke the deadlock 14 minutes into the match, with a towering header from a corner. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163 scored a brilliant brace to extend the Giallarossi’s lead to three goals. Nothing was going in Inter Milan’s favour, as Bojan
Krkic was on hand to compile misery for the visitors, with a wonderful solo goal in the 90th minute.
Fiorentina 3-2 Udinese, February 5, 2012
La Viola held their nerves to complete an emphatic win in a five-goal thriller at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Mr. Consistent, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306, put the visitors in-front with a strike in the 15th minute. Delio Rossi’s men worked hard to get themselves on level terms, as Steven Jovetic converted from the spot in the 39th
minute.
Fiorentina defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mattia-Cassani-c24868, put the hosts in-front with a goal immediately after the resumption of second-half. Jovetic completed a brace from the spot, as the match was effectively sealed for La Viola despite Udinese
scoring in the last minute of the match.
Palermo 2-1 Atalanta, February 5, 2012
Palermo needed to win the match, to push for a Europa League finish. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 dropping points against AC Milan, the Rosanero now stand equal on points with the Partenopei side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maximiliano-Moralez-c25042, but they could
not muster anything from the game.
Novara 0 – 0 Cagliari, February 5, 2012
Cagliari failed to test bottom placed, Novara, as they were held to a goalless draw at the synthetic surface. The Sardinians lost a glorious opportunity to leapfrog both Fiorentina and Genoa into the top half of the table.
