Milan's Kaka (L)
argues with Inter Milan's Juan Sebastian Veron (C) as team mate Gennaro
Gattusa tries to stop them during their Italian Serie A soccer match at
the San Siro stadium in Milan December 11, 2005.
[Reuters] | Juventus marched into a 10-point lead
at the top of Serie A with a 4-0 drubbing of second from bottom Cagliari in
Turin.
David Trezeguet (2), Pavel Nedved and an own goal from Fabio Vignati helped
Juve take their points tally to 42 from 15 games.
Brazilian Adriano notched a dramatic stoppage-time winner, his second goal of
the match, as second-placed Inter Milan overcame AC Milan 3-2 in front of a San
Siro crowd of 80,000.
Obafemi Martins also scored as Inter picked up their first win in the league
over their city rivals since March 2002.
Andriy Shevchenko (penalty) and Jaap Stam replied for AC Milan, who dropped
to fourth place, one point behind Inter and Fiorentina, who defeated bottom club
Treviso 1-0 on Saturday.
GERMANY
Bayern Munich edged past bottom club Kaiserslautern 2-1 on Sunday to claim
the honorary distinction of winning the first half of the Bundesliga season a
week before the winter break.
Oliver Kahn stopped a second-half penalty from Ervin Skela after Michael
Ballack and Roy Makaay had put Bayern 2-1 up.
It was the first time for more than two years, coincidentally from
Kaiserslautern's Miroslav Klose in October 2003, that Kahn had saved a penalty.
Second-placed Hamburg SV are four points behind Bayern after a 2-1 home win
over Hertha Berlin. Klose netted twice as third-placed Werder Bremen, two points
further back, romped to a 4-1 triumph at Cologne.
