Cagliari holds Juve to 1-1 draw
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 01 - 2012

1 draw at home to mid-table Cagliari and former Italy coach Roberto Donadoni made a winning start in charge of Parma as it beat Siena 3-1 in Serie A Sunday.
A dreadful stoppage-time miss by forward Milos Krasic cost Juventus, which started the weekend as joint leader with AC Milan, the chance to win after it squandered an early lead.
Mirko Vucinic had given unbeaten Juventus a seventh-minute lead only for Andrea Cossu to equalize three minutes after the break with a 25-metre shot that swerved away from Gianluigi Buffon.
Juventus has 38 points from 18 games, one more than AC Milan which faces arch rival Inter Milan at San Siro.
Donadoni, sacked by Cagliari before the start of the season, got off on the right foot at Parma thanks to goals from Jonathan Biabiany, Francesco Valiani and Sebastian Giovinco, leaving it 12th with 22 points. Donadoni replaced Franco Colomba, sacked by the Sardinians after last week's 5-0 defeat at Inter.
Third-placed Udinese lost ground in a 3-2 defeat at Genoa.
Udinese has 35 points, two more than fourth-placed Lazio, which narrowed the gap with a 2-0 win over 10-man Atalanta.
Romania forward Adrian Mutu scored twice, including a penalty, to give Cesena a 3-1 win over Novara, leaving them joint level at the bottom with Lecce who won 1-0 at Fiorentina.
Simeone wins home debut
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone won on his home debut Sunday as his new team beat Villarreal 3-0 in the Spanish league thanks to Radamel Falcao's brace.
Falcao broke through for a dominant Atletico in the 40th minute at Vicente Calderon stadium by scoring from a pass by Adrian Lopez inside the six-yard box.
The Colombia striker scored his 11th league goal from the penalty spot in the 51st after Adrian played him through only for Gonzalo Rodriguez to foul him in the area.
Diego capped the win in the 80th, tapping in a cross from left back Filipe Luis.
In Pamplona, Racing Santander beat Osasuna 2-0 from a pair of spot kicks by striker Christian Stuani for the club's fifth straight game without a defeat.
Real Madrid came from behind to beat Mallorca 2-1 Saturday, and third-place Valencia fell 1-0 at home to Real Sociedad.
Also, it was: Zaragoza 1, Getafe 1; Sevilla 0, Espanyol 0; and Granada 1, Rayo Vallecano 2.
