Matchday 6: Results

AC Milan 3 vs Internazionale 1
(San Siro)

AC Milan got revenge against their city rivals by taking the second derby of the year in compelling fashion. The Rossoneri came out determined, taking the play to Inter and being rewarded with a Ronaldinho goal in the 8th minute. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar extended the lead to two in the 21st minute and Ronaldinho added his second shortly after to make the game 3-0 before the 30th minute. After some tactical changes, Inter settled in but the damage had been done. Eto'o's second half strike was merely consolation for the visitors as their hot start to the season has been cooled by two straight losses to bottom table teams.

Juventus 2 vs Fiorentina 2
(Stadio Olimpico di Torino)

Juventus boss Marco Sirianni called his team's 2-2 draw to Fiorentina their "best match of the season." The draw comes at a tough time for the home side who have struggled to find favourable results over the past few weeks. Strong play from key players pushed Juve to an early two goal lead, including a stunning long distance strike from Diego that opened the scoring. Gamberini responded by heading home a Montolivo cross from a corner just before half to offer the league leaders hope heading into the second period. The visitors managed to tie the game but could not capitalize on a number of good chances down the stretch to take the victory. Still, the draw keeps unbeaten Fiorentina in first position at the close of week 6, making them, once again, the team to beat.

Manchester United 2 vs AS Roma 3
(Old Trafford)

Roma managed to squeak out a close 3-2 victory over a tough Manchester side Saturday morning by relying on a hat-trick from star striker Luca Toni. The former Bayern Munich man opened the scoring in the 32nd minute by cooly slotting home a pass from Francesco Totti that put the Italian squad up 1-0 at half time. Toni netted another in the 58th minute to put the Giallorossi in the driver's seat in what looked to be an easy win for the visitors. But a costly mistake by Doni got the home side back into the game when the Roman keeper cleared the ball straight to Owen Hargreaves who put it past a frantic Doni for Manchester's first goal of the match. Toni answered soon after with his 3rd of the game but the momentum was short lived as Wayne Rooney took a nice pass from Dimitar Berbatov and put the home side within one. Manchester continued to press, managing to bend the Roman defence but not break them. The win keeps Roma within striking distance of league leaders Fiorentina while Manchester's loss will keep them bottom of the table for a 7th consecutive week.
