inter defeat siena

Tweet

Nicolas Burdisso and Hernan Crespo scored in either half as Inter dominated Siena at the Meazza to win 2-0, collect their eleventh consecutive victory and increase their lead at the top of the Serie A table to seven points ahead of tonight's Olimpico clash between second-placed Roma and Atalanta. Burdisso, who scored twice against Messina in the cup last Wednesday, gave Inter an early lead on 11 minutes, stealing in at the near post to power home an unstoppable header from Stankovic's left-wing corner. A sluggish Siena woke up towards the end of the first half and carved out two meaningful chances on goal, with Julio Cesar making good saves from Locatelli and Brevi. Inter's Brazilian keeper pulled off more heroics early in the second half with a splendid one-handed penalty save from Mario Frick after Maicon was adjudged to have brought down Antonini in the box. Crespo added to Inter's lead on 54 minutes, beating Gastaldello to a Brevi back pass and lifting the ball over Manninger with a deft touch to notch his eighth goal of the season, including his Super Cup effort against Roma. Anyone know who is the Serie-A champion?
