Serie A wrap: Udinese bounce back

Udinese climbed into second spot in Serie A with a 1-0 win over Palermo on Sunday, while Fiorentina also returned to winning ways.

Antonio Di Natale’s 38th-minute goal was enough to see Francesco Guidolin’s men take all three points at the Stadio Communale Friuli, as they bounced back from a midweek defeat to Napoli.

The win saw Udinese rise above AC Milan, who had taken second place on Saturday with their 3-2 away defeat of Roma.

Milan fell back into third, one point shy of Udinese.

Atalanta lost just their second game since being promoted into the Italian top flight, going down 3-1 at Bologna.

Stefano Colantuono’s men took an early lead away at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara when German Denis struck in the seventh minute, but a lapse late in the first half saw Marco Di Vaio equalise from the penalty spot for Bologna.

Bologna took the lead through Gaston Ramirez three minutes into the second half, before Simon Loria sealed victory with his side’s third goal.

Fiorentina snapped a five-game winless streak with a 1-0 triumph at home to Genoa, with Andrea Lazzari scoring the only goal on 41 minutes.

Lecce and Novara both remain in the relegation zone after playing out a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare, with Lecce’s Rodney Starsser firing the hosts ahead before Marco Rigoni’s equaliser from the spot.

In other matches, Parma beat bottom-placed Cesena 2-0, while Siena thrashed Chievo 4-1 in the earlier kick-off.

Milan 4 Udinese 4: The game of the week

By Shourin Roy on January 9, 2011 10:00 PM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Daniele Bonera had a nightmare game. Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Di Natale, and German St Denis were beneficiaries of some very shoddy defensive work by the central defender.

The second goal by Di Natale highlighted a poor defensive sequence as Clarence Seedorf was stripped and Di Natale scampered down the field to leave Bonera hopelessly out of position.

Udinese were 3-1 to the good but an own goal by Mehdi Benatia and Alexander Pato's second goal brought Milan back to level terms. Then St Denis made Bonera eat crow for the third time to put Udinese back on top. It looked like the visitors were heading to victory but Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored an injury time equalizer after Antonio Cassano put him through with a neat little pass.

Exciting, open game with lots of scoring opportunities and in a rarity for Serie teams virtually non-existent defense. Milan have lost some ground at the top of the league as Napoli surprisingly handed Juve a 3-0 loss.

Rafa records his first win as Inter overcome Udinese

Samuel Eto'o almost muffed his penalty but luckily for him the rebound fell right at his feet and he did not miss the second time around. Before that Udinese had equalized through Antonio Floro Flores after Lucio had put Inter on top. The win gave Rafa his first taste of victory in the Serie.
