MILAN, Italy—Stephan El Shaarawy scored twice to help crisis-ridden AC Milan
to a much-needed 2-0 win against 10-man Cagliari in Serie A on Wednesday. Reggie Wayne Jersey . El Shaarawy, who also
scored in the loss at Udinese on Sunday, netted in each half and also had an
effort deflected onto the crossbar as Milan ended the jinx of the new San Siro
pitch. It is the teams first goals at home in any competition this season and
the first time either of the Milan teams has won there. Cagliari had several
opportunities to score but had Daniele Conti sent off in the 66th minute to hurt
its chances. “We are all with him (coach Massimiliano Allegri), he has our
confidence,” El Shaarawy said. “We continue like this. I am young but I always
try to give my maximum, today I think I succeeded. Today we had the right
spirit, we attacked from the start. We suffered a bit but together we managed to
win. “Ive had a lot of confidence from Allegri this year. Hes allowing me to
play. Im really happy with the win, which will really boost our morale.
Elsewhere, Edinson Cavani missed a penalty but scored a hat trick as Napoli beat
title rival Lazio 3-0 to move level on points with defending champion Juventus
at the top of the table. “I dont know if its a two-way fight with Juventus for
the title, its way too early to say so,” Cavani said. “The only thing we know is
that we have a good group and the best staff. We hope to continue like this,
like we did tonight. “Im happy for the three goals, but what matters here is the
squads aims. We are all happy because we had a great match and there is so much
desire to do well, even from those that arent on the pitch. We always have to
give our maximum.” Napolis game was also a fantastic advertisement for fair play
after Miroslav Klose appeared to put the home side ahead in the fourth minute.
However, the German striker admitted to the referee that he had palmed it into
the net and the goal was rightly ruled out. Milan badly needed a victory but
came into the game in the worst possible condition. Allegri was forced to watch
the game from the stands after being banned for one match for insulting
officials, while Kevin-Prince Boateng and Cristian Zapata were also serving
suspensions. Alexandre Pato, Mathieu Flamini and Sulley Muntari are all still
injured, but Robinho made a return following a long layoff and played 25
minutes. El Shaarawy slotted home the opening goal in the 15th minute following
a brilliant through ball from Riccardo Montolivo. It was the Italy strikers
first league goal against a team other than Udinese—against which he has
scored three times. Cagliari was unlucky not to get a penalty when Bakaye Traore
—who was making his debut for Milan—shoved Francesco Pisano in the area.
Milan could have doubled its lead three minutes before the break. El Shaarawys
effort was deflected by Davide Astori onto the crossbar and it came out to
Giampaolo Pazzini, who headed it goalward from seven yards, only for Astori to
clear off the line. Conti was sent off for an arm across Pazzinis face halfway
through the second period, and El Shaarawy scored his third goal in two games
eight minutes from fulltime. There was more disappointment for Roma as it was
held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Sampdoria. Francesco Totti opened the scoring in
the 35th minute with his 216th Serie A goal, a day before his 36th birthday.
Sampdoria midfielder Enzo Maresca was sent off in the opening minute of the
second half after picking up his second yellow card. However, despite the
numerical disadvantage, Sampdoria levelled shortly after the hour mark following
a horrendous error from Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg, who dropped the
ball straight at the feet of Gianni Munari for the easiest of tap-ins.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan strolled to a 2-0 win at Chievo Verona, courtesy of goals
from Alvaro Pereira and Antonio Cassano. It was a comedy of errors at Catania as
the home side beat Atalanta 2-1. Catania goalkeeper Mariano Andujar kicked a
harmless back pass straight at Atalantas Maximiliano Moralez, who was just yards
away. Moralez rounded the shot-stopper and fired home. Atalantas lead lasted
just three minutes before Nicolas Spolli levelled with a header that crept in
between Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consiglis legs. Pablo Barrientos scored the
winner for Catania. Genoa drew 1-1 with Parma. Alessandro Lucarelli gave Parma
the lead, but Marco Borriello levelled from the spot two minutes from time.
Borriello had sent an earlier penalty crashing off the left upright. Meanwhile,
Torino hit the goal frame three times as it drew 0-0 with Udinese. In the
earlier game, Vladimir Weiss scored a stunning 87th-minute goal to give Pescara
its first Serie A win in 20 years, a 1-0 victory against 10-man Palermo. Palermo
went close several times in the first half but defender Steve von Bergen
received a straight red card in the 35th minute. He used his hand to stop Ante
Vukusic from going clear through on goal just outside the area. It is Gian Piero
Gasperinis second loss in charge since taking over from the fired Giuseppe
Sannino just over a week ago. Robert Mathis Womens Jersey . Johansson broke
twice to jump out to a 5-0 lead in the first set with the Italian failing to
land less than 50 per cent of her first serves. The fourth-seeded Vinci levelled
at one-set apiece after having broken twice to lead 4-0. Pat Angerer Womens Jersey . —Jeremy Guthrie

appears Sidney Crosby is moving closer to a decision on whether or not he will
play in Europe as the NHL lockout continues. According to the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, Crosby admits he has been thinking more about playing elsewhere in
recent days as CBA negotiations remain stalled. “You know what? Its a lot more
possible right now,” Crosby told the Post-Gazette. “I probably hadnt thought
about it quite as much as I have the past few days.” “With the way things are
looking now, its not looking too good.” Crosbys agent Pat Brisson has said that
Crosby had targeted late Noveember or early December to decide on playing
abroad, but getting insurance is still a very expensive detractor. Reggie Wayne Youth Jersey. . “I dont know,
specifically, if Ive gotten to that point where Im looking at [particular]
teams, but I think Im more or less thinking that playing is becoming a little
more and more important here, the longer we go,” Crosby told the Post-Gazette.
“Especially in my case, where Ive missed so much hockey in the last little bit.”
With the lockout now in Day 73, the NHL and the Players Association have agreed
to allow U.S. federal mediators into the talks. ’ ’ ’
