Serie A pace-setters Internazionale stretched their lead at the
top of the league to seven points as they ran out 2-0 winners
against Siena on Saturday.
Argentinian defender Nicolas Burdisso was the unlikely scorer of
the opening goal before the away team saw Mario Frick's second-half
penalty saved by Julio Cesar.
Hernan Crespo then made Siena pay by doubling the lead to put the
result beyond doubt.
It was Inter's 10th win in a row in all competitions and extended
their unbeaten run in the top flight to 14 matches.
Roma required two penalties to fend off the stern challenge of
tenacious Atalanta 2-1 in an ill-tempered clash at the Stadio
Olimpico.
Just as last week against Sampdoria, captain Francesco Totti was
again the two-goal hero for the Giallorossi, his cool head from the
penalty spot cancelling out Riccardo Zampagna's opener for the
visitors.
Crespo: scored the second goal for Inter.
