Inter Milan 1-2 Juventus

MILAN - Goals from Mauro German Camoranesi and David Trezeguet gave Juventus a 2-1 victory over Inter in Saturday's 'derby d'Italia'.

The Italian international scored just after the break, with the French forward doubling his team's lead before Maniche set up a dramatic finale with his first goal in black and blue.
The defeat, Inter's first at home in the Serie A since last season's 3-1 loss to Roma, sees Inter's lead cut to four points.

Inter made an attacking start to the Easter fixture but it was Ranieri's men who had the first clear chance to score when Julio Cesar tipped over Del Piero's close-range effort.
Dejan Stankovic headed on to the angle between bar and post as both teams enjoyed pockets of possession in an entertaining first half.

Inter went close again on 34 minutes, Buffon getting down at his left-hand post to parry Chivu's magnificent 30-yard free kick.

The Bianconeri almost had Inter on the back foot in the opening minute of the second half when Julio Cesar made a vital block from Nedved's angled volley.
They did in the 49th, albeit from an offside position when Camoranesi latched on to Chiellini's long ball forward and slid under Julio Cesar.

Mancini threw on Suazo for Jimenez but Juve edged further in front through Trezeguet who fired home from near range after intercepting Burdisso's headed clearance.
Inter's coach introduced Maniche for Cruz, later bringing on Balotelli for Chivu, and it was the Portuguese midfielder who had the greatest impact when he sidefooted home after a brilliant solo run by Maicon.

Maniche could have forced a draw in added time but his poked shot from Stankovic's backheeled through ball came back off the upright.

Inter Milan 2-1 Palermo

MILAN - Patrick Vieira and Luis Jimenez scored either side of Marco Materazzi's own goal to keep Serie A leaders Inter six points clear of Roma.

Vieira gave the Nerazzurri a dream start, heading past Fontana in the 5th minute after a defence-splitting one-two with Ibrahimovic.
Palermo's first chance of the game came on 16 minutes when Julio Cesar kept out Rinaudo's glancing header from Miccoli's free kick.

Vieira signalled a return to top form with some inch-perfect passing in midfield and went close to a second, heading Chivu's free kick just wide.

The Rosanero equalised against the run of play in the 26th minute. Materazzi unwittingly turned into his own net after Julio Cesar parried Simplicio's follow-up after fumbling Miccoli's long-range effort.

Inter could have edged back in front within sixty seconds but Jimenez was flagged offside when prodding home after Vieira's placed shot hit the underside of the bar and bounced back into open play.

Jimenez restored Inter's lead ten minutes before half time, latching on to Maicon's low pass and losing his marker to fire home from close range.

Inter had the better chances throughout a lower-key second half, with Burdisso heading just wide before Ibrahimovic had two efforts in quick succession blocked by Fontana and Zaccardo.
Palermo went close to a late equaliser when Jankovic's diving header finished inches wide.

Inter Milan 2-0 Reggina

MILAN - Inter cruised to victory over Reggina in Saturday's Centenary fixture at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic converted a penalty on 18 minutes, with Burdisso added a headed second before the interval to put the Serie A leaders team six points clear of Roma, who beat Napoli in Sunday's batch of fixtures.

The Nerazzurri were greeted by a party atmosphere when they came on the pitch. Each area of the stadium displayed 100th anniversary banners, the Curva Nord turning on the usual style with an eye-catching choreography.

Inter were a goal to the good less than fifteen minutes in when Ibrahimovic converted a penalty awarded for a Valdes foul on Cambiasso.

Burdisso doubled the lead before half time, powering home his header from Jimenez' perfectly executed left-wing free kick.

Swedish ace Ibra went close to a second just before the break when his blistering free kick shaved the bar.

Relegation-threatened Reggina fought back after the restart and kept Julio Cesar busy, Amoruso, Hallfredsson, Tognozzi and Lanzaro forcing the Brazilian into crucial saves.
