Fiorentina victor at home

Oct 25, 2010 |

Rome, Oct. 24: Fiorentina managed only their second win of the season on Saturday to move off the bottom of a Serie A with a 2-1 home success over Bari with Marco Donadel’s superb lob and a clincher from Alberto Gilardino.

Donadel clipped home brilliantly on 34 minutes to spark the Viola as he left keeper Jean-Francois Gillet grasping at thin air and Gilardino was on hand to fire in after Adem Ljalic had a shot blocked. Alessandro Parisi netted a consolation for Bari in injury-time but they slip into the bottom six as one of a clutch of sides on eight points.

Fiorentina top that mini grouping of sides by dint of a better goal difference than their immediate rivals.

Sunday sees leaders Lazio seek to consolidate their status with a win at home to struggling Cagliari. Lazio currently lead both the Milan clubs by two opints.

Reigning champions Inter, who almost surrendered a four-goal lead against Tottenham in midweek, host seventh-placed Sampdoria while AC Milan — beaten at Real Madrid in midweek — have a Monday tussle with fourth-placed Napoli.

AS Roma, with just two wins to date, need a win at Parma while fifth-placed Juventus will be out to stay in touch with the leading group by winning at third-bottom Bologna.
