The biggest shock of the night came at the Bernebau Stadium where visitors Rubin Kazan playing only their...

Pato Wins It For Milan

MILAN – Striker Alexandre Pato earned AC Milan a 2-1 win over AS Roma on Sunday to slightly lift the air of gloom hanging over the San Siro. Roma winger Jeremy Menez, up front in place of the injured Francesco Totti, ran on to Thiago Silva’s back-pass to slot in the opener on three minutes. Ronaldinho again offered little in open play but levelled from the penalty spot on 56 minutes. Brazilian Pato soon brought down a long ball and finished calmly to give Milan only their third Serie A win of the campaign, lifting them to eighth in...

Victory in front of a sold-out 30,000 passionate Portuguese crowd against Malta, who Portugal beat 4-0 away last September, would ensure their place in the play-off draw, but while on...

Roma’s current financial situation is said to be the perfect opportunity for Barcalona to renew their interest in the 29-year-old Brazilian and it is suggested that the club may make moves...
