ITALIAN SERIE A:DIEGO MILITO scored early in the second half to give Inter Milan a surprise 1-0 win over arch-rivals AC Milan in their derby last night.
The Argentina international broke clear in the 54th minute and placed his shot inside the far post to end Milan’s 12-match unbeaten league run.
Milan, who began the weekend as joint leaders with Juventus, dropped into second place, one point off the pace after Juve drew 1-1 at home to Cagliari.
Inter stayed fifth but their sixth successive win moved them within six points of Juve.
A dreadful stoppage-time miss by forward Milos Krasic cost Juventus the chance to win after they squandered an early lead.
Krasic, out of favour under coach Antonio Conte this season, was given a rare chance in the team and failed to take it as he sent a weak effort wide of the mark when he was presented with a free shot inside the penalty area.
Mirko Vucinic had given unbeaten Juventus a seventh-minute lead only for Andrea Cossu to equalise three minutes after the break with a 25-metre shot.
Former Italy coach Roberto Donadoni made a winning start in charge of Parma as they beat Siena 3-1. Third-placed Udinese lost ground in a 3-2 defeat at Genoa. while Lazio recorded 2-0 win over 10-man Atalanta.
