Inter beats Bari, up to 3rd in Serie A

ROME: Inter Milan moved up to third in the Serie A following a 3-0 win over Bari Thursday.
Inter was seven points behind leader AC Milan, with a game in hand.
The only game Thursday was a bland affair until midway through the second half when Houssine Kharja produced a rare moment of inspiration for his first goal since arriving on loan from Genoa at the end of the transfer window.
Giampaolo Pazzini then scored his third in two games since signing from Sampdoria, and just before the final whistle Wesley Sneijder was left unmarked for the third.
“It isn't easy, but the three goals I have scored in two games have helped us win twice,” Pazzini said. “We had a good first half and tried to keep the tempo high. We lacked a bit of rhythm, but improved in the second half.”
Bari had the best chance of the first half when Sergio Almiron forced Inter keeper Julio Cesar into a sprawling save with a powerful free kick.
After the break neither side improved, though Alessandro Parisi made Cesar pull off another save and Sneijder blasted over from close range. Inter took the lead in the 70th and gave the game some spark. The Moroccan played a return pass with Samuel Eto'o and fired a low shot into the corner of the goal past Jean-Francois Gillet.
Three minutes later Parisi went close again, but Cesar pushed his powerful volley away for a corner.
With 10 minutes remaining Cesar again came to Inter's rescue by stopping Alessandro Gazzi's effort.
In injury time Pazzini cut in from the left and lashed a shot past Gillet and then Sneijder had time and space to score his first league goal of the season.
FIFA to test 10 systems
FIFA's rules-making panel will study the results from 10 different goal-line technology systems being tested before its meeting next month.
FIFA says the 10 systems will be tested privately next week by researchers from a Zurich-based technology institute.
IFAB will meet March 5 in Wales to evaluate how accurate and efficient the systems are before taking a “decision of principle and potential next step” to give referees high-tech help.
IFAB also will consider letting UEFA use the five-referee match official system at the 2012 European Championship.
Other proposed rules changes relate to stray objects on the field, players wearing snoods and tights, plus referees using vanishing spray to mark where defensive walls stand.
Argentina beats Chile
In Peru, Argentina came from a goal down to defeat Chile 3-2 Thursday in the second round of South American qualifying for the Under-20 World Cup.
Brazil, the tournament favorite, stayed unbeaten with a 2-0 victory over Colombia while the day's other match saw Ecuador draw 1-1 with Uruguay.
Bryan Carrasco gave Chile a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute, but Argentina broke the match open with second-half goals from Facundo Ferreyra, Juan Manuel Iturbe and Nicolas Tagliafico. Felipe Gallegos scored late for Chile.
Argentina was poor in the first half, but got a boost when Ferreyra converted a disputed penalty in the 50th. Iturbe scored in the 62nd, beating several defenders in a solo run from midfield and then slotting home from 10 meters.
Tagliafico took advantage of a defensive lapse in the 73rd before Gallegos scored a consolation for Chile in stoppage time.
Argentina's victory set up Sunday's match against archrival Brazil.
Brazil wasted little time, taking a 1-0 lead in the third minute on Casemiro's header. Colombia had plenty of chances to equalize but Mauricio made sure of the win in the 89th. Edson Montano's 60th-minute goal gave Ecuador a 1-1 draw with Uruguay. Camilo Mayada put Uruguay up 1-0 in the 17th.
