Inter's lead cut to a point
Inter Milan again wasted the chance to retain their
Serie A title when they were held 2-2 at home by Siena on Sunday
with Marco Materazzi having a penalty saved. Second-placed AS Roma
beat Atalanta 2-1 to cut the gap to one point with one round of
matches remaining next weekend.
Has Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini thrown the title
away?
Inter, who lost to AC Milan last Sunday to spurn their
first opportunity of sealing the scudetto, visit
relegation-threatened Parma and Roma go to Catania, who could also
go down. 'At 2-2 there was no longer any logic on the field, I was
angry about this. We were piling forward too much,' Inter coach
Roberto Mancini told Sky, relieved his side had not lost. 'We have
the quality to win at Parma, Roma have to go to Catania and it
won't be simple.'
Napoli dealt a crushing blow to AC Milan's hopes of Champions
League qualification after goals from Marek Hamsik, Maurizio
Domizzi and Gyorgy Garics earned victory on Sunday. Carlo
Ancelotti's side are now two points adrift of fourth place with
just one game of the season remaining after Fiorentina leapfrogged
them in the Serie A table by beating Parma.
Struggling Parma looked like they might do Milan a favour when
they took an early lead against the Viola, but they conceded twice
in the final 13 minutes on the way to a 3-1 defeat.
