Genoa shocks Milan, Juve wins
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 09 - 2008

0 Sunday to inflict the Rossoneri's second straight defeat to start the Serie A season.
Giuseppe Sculli scored in the 30th minute and Diego Milito converted a penalty in the 90th to seal the victory.
Genoa had not defeated Milan at home in the last seven games, a span dating back to 1984, and Milan had not been held scoreless in the last 16 Serie A matches.
Kaka returned for Milan after an injury kept him out of the opening match of the season to partner with Ronaldinho, but was unable to find holes in the Genoa defense.
Ronaldinho was also ineffective and was substituted early in the second half, along with Andriy Shevchenko.
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti was already facing pressure after the opening loss to Bologna, and Sunday's result is likely to increase speculation over whether he will lose his job.
“Milan had great motivation to win this game so they were not easy adversaries,” said Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani gave Ancelotti a vote of confidence after the game, saying the coach's position was not in question.
Also Sunday, Amauri scored in the 67th after a melee in the area to give Juventus a 1-0 victory over Udinese.
Juventus dominated the game with Amauri hitting the post early in the first half and Christian Poulsen nailing a shot from outside the area into the crossbar.
The Juventus defense shut down striker Antonio Di Natale who scored two goals in the first game of the year and two more in Italy's World Cup qualifier Wednesday against Georgia.
After two games, Lazio and Atalanta top the standings with six points while Juventus, Torino, Inter Milan and Napoli are next with 4 points.
Marek Hamsik and Christian Maggio scored second-half goals to rally Napoli to a 2-1 victory over visiting Fiorentina. Romania striker Adrian Mutu had put Fiorentina ahead near the end of the first half.
Newly promoted Lecce won 2-0 over Chievo Verona on goals from Fabio Caserta and Jose Caserta.
Lazio beat Sampdoria 2-0 with goals from Mauro Zarate and Goran Pandev, who have five between them after two games to lead the Italian league.
Also Sunday, it was: Bologna 0, Atalanta 1; Reggina 1, Torino 1; and Siena 2, Cagliari 0.
