Inter set to retain title


Internazionale could retain the Serie A title if they beat city rivals AC Milan next weekend after they secured a 2-1 victory against Cagliari on Sunday. Goals by Patrick Vieira and Marco Materazzi put Inter in control of the match and Davide Biondini's late goal proved to be no more than consolation for Cagliari. AS Roma kept the title race alive with a 4-1 victory against relegation-threatened Torino. David Pizarro's penalty gave Roma the lead before Mirko Vucinic doubled their advantage and a Mancini brace put them 4-0 ahead at the interval.

Nicola Ventola scored for a well-beaten Torino side early in the second half before Roma defender Juan was sent off. Juventus also led 4-0 at half-time before eventually clinching a 5-2 victory against Lazio. Defender Giorgio Chiellini scored the first and last goals for Juve with Mauro Camoranesi making it 2-0 before Alessandro Del Piero grabbed his 18th goal of the campaign. David Trezeguet made it 4-0 before the interval but Lazio responded with goals of their own after the break from Rolando Bianchi and Sebastiano Siviglia.

Daniele Gastaldello scored with a stoppage-time header as Sampdoria drew 2-2 at Fiorentina while Filippo Inzaghi notched a hat-trick as AC Milan won 4-1 at Livorno. Udinese remain on track for a UEFA Cup spot after beating Catania 2-1 and Empoli won 1-0 at Genoa thanks to Ignazio Abate's goal which gives them a chance of avoiding the drop. Francesco Cozza scored twice as Reggina beat Parma 2-1 in a crucial relegation battle but the game between Napoli and Siena, and Palermo's clash with Atalanta ended goalless.
