Joy for Juventus as Milan lose ground

A last-gasp winner from David Trezeguet earned Juventus victory in the Turin derby and moved them up to second in Serie A on a day when AC Milan were again frustrated.
Late dramaFrance striker Trezeguet struck in the 90th minute against Torino FC at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino to lift the 'visitors' on to 13 points, just a point behind leaders FC Internazionale Milano, who won 4-1 against AS Roma on Saturday. ACF Fiorentina and Roma drop to third and fourth respectively and, while Juve go from strength to strength, European champions Milan continue to falter.
Kaká penaltyThe Rossoneri had taken just six points from their first five games before the visit of Calcio Catania to San Siro and the draw leaves them seven points adrift of Inter. Jorge Martínez's header put Catania in front on 25 minutes and the visitors managed to hold out until half-time. Milan were level three minutes after the interval though when Kaká stepped up to score from the penalty spot after a Mark Edusei handball.
Samp successSecond-half goals from Paolo Sammarco and Antonio Cassano, who both came on as substitutes, added to veteran forward Claudio Bellucci's early effort, gave UC Sampdoria a 3-0 home victory against Atalanta BC. Less spectacular but equally important was the 1-0 victory against struggling AC Siena that saw Cagliari Calcio move up to mid-table, thanks to Pasquale Foggia’s seventh-minute penalty. Udinese Calcio leapfrog Atalanta after Cristian Zapata's 90th-minute winner gave them a 2-1 success against Parma FC.
First victoryEmpoli FC also left it late to beat visiting US Città di Palermo 3-1 and earn their first victory of the season. The home side trailed at the break after Cavani's goal on 39 minutes but two 21-year-old strikers, Nicola Pozzi and Sebastian Giovinco, turned the tide in Empoli’s favour before Ighli Vannucchi wrapped things up with a late penalty to lift Empoli out of the relegation zone. Elsewhere, SSC Napoli surprisingly went down 2-1 at home to Genoa FC after a last-gasp winner from Giuseppe Sculli. Reggina Calcio's game with S.S. Lazio finished 1-1.
