Both Milan Clubs Win

Here's a rundown of the weekend action in Italy's Serie A, beginning with the two Saturday contests:

At Turin:

Christian Obodo (18') , Paulo Vito Baretto (33') , and Gyan Asamoah (61') provided the scoring for Udinese as the visitors held off Torino 3-2. Elvis Abburscatto (77', 90') provided both Torino goals.

At Palermo:

Tommaso Rocchi's double (45, PK-78') lifted Lazio into fourth place in the Serie A standings following the visitors' 3-0 whitewashing of third-place Palermo.

Eight games were played Sunday:

At Milan:

Filippo Inzaghi's 76th-minute tally was the only goal in AC Milan's 1-0 home win over struggling Parma.

At Genoa:

Thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic (38') and Maicon (75'), Inter Milan, in defeating homestanding Sampdoria 2-0, racked up their 14th straight league win.

At Florence:

Second-half tallies from Luca Toni (68') and Martin Jorgensen (82') enabled Fiorentina to come from a one-goal halftime deficit and defeat visiting Livorno 2-1.

At Bergamo:

Takayuki Morimoto's equalizer (88') enabled Catania Calcio to gain a 1-1 road stalemate with Atalanta.

At Messina:

In a dramatic comeback win on the road, cellar-dwelling Ascoli picked up their first road win (and second overall) of the Serie A season 2-1 as Michele Paolucci scored twice (90', 90'+4) against fellow strugglers Messina.

At Cagliari:

Reggina climbed out of the Serie A relegation zone with their 2-0 road victory over Cagliari. Luca Vigiani scored both goals (47', 58') for the Dark Reds.

At Rome:

A goal at 62 minutes from Mirko Vucinic was all that AS Roma needed in their 1-0 home win oper AC Siena.

At Verona:

Visiting Empoli and Chievo Verona battled to a 0-0 stalemate.
