ROME: Wesley Sneijder curled in a free kick and Samuel Eto'o also scored as Inter Milan won 2-0 at Sampdoria Sunday to move into second place in Serie A. Sneijder wound his shot around a wall in the 73rd minute and Eto'o found the target in added time to end Inter's four-match winless streak against Sampdoria at Luigi Ferraris stadium. “I'm extremely satisfied. The victory today is worth extra for the difficulties involved – it's been a while since Inter won here,” said Inter manager Leonardo. In the second half, Sneijder was especially sharp, with the Netherlands playmaker nearly making it 2-0 with another free kick that bounced off the post in the 80th. Inter moved within two points of city rival AC Milan. Earlier, Udinese moved within one point of the Champions League places with a 7-0 rout of nine-man Palermo, a result which will likely lead to the removal of Palermo manager Delio Rossi. Elsewhere, former Juventus forward Amauri scored two late goals as Parma came back to draw 2-2 at Roma and spoil Vincenzo Montella's home debut as Roma manager. Roma's city rival Lazio lost 1-0 at Cagliari due to a horrendous own goal from defender Andre Dias. Also, it was: Bari 1, Fiorentina 1; Brescia 2, Lecce 2; and Cesena 1, Chievo Verona 0. Valencia downs Bilbao Substitute Jonas scored his first goal for Valencia in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league Sunday. The win allowed Valencia to open up a four-point advantage in third place over Villarreal, which earlier rallied for a 2-2 draw at Racing Santander. Substitute Nilmar scored an injury-time equalizer as a lackluster Villarreal managed a 2-2 draw at Santander. Earlier, Felipe Caicedo scored the winner as Levante beat Osasuna 2-1 for its fourth win in five games.
