AC Milan wins 2-0 to sit atop Serie A
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 12 - 2011

A day after the latest arrests in a match-fixing investigation, Serie A action resumed Tuesday with AC Milan taking the provisional lead following a confident 2-0 win at Cagliari.
Milan went ahead after four minutes with an own goal by Cagliari defender Francesco Pisano, who was attempting to prevent Antonio Nocerino from redirecting a cross from Robinho into an empty net.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic then sealed the match on the hour mark, taking a pass from Robinho and chipping the ball over charging Cagliari goalkeeper Michael Agazzi with the tips of his toes.
Ibrahimovic's 11th goal of the season left him alongside Atalanta's German Denis as the Serie A's leading scorers.
Milan moved one point in front of Juventus, which visits third-place Udinese Wednesday.
“It was important to get three points and end the year in the best manner possible,” Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said. “Tomorrow we'll see what the others do.”
Earlier, Fiorentina drew 0-0 at Siena in a Tuscan derby, moving both clubs one more spot above the relegation zone.
With the next Serie A round not until Jan. 7-8, Milan will go to Dubai after Christmas for a midseason training camp. Also, Milan vice president Adriano Galliani is planning to meet with Manchester City on Thursday to discuss signing striker Carlos Tevez.
Bayern in Cup quarters
Arjen Robben scored an injury-time winner to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 victory at second-division Bochum Tuesday and a place in the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

Bochum held on until losing possession late in the match and Franck Ribery found the unmarked Robben for the winner.
