Bologna´s Adailton denies Juventus return to top

Bologna’s veteran Brazilian forward Adailton scored an equaliser deep into injury time to deny Juventus a return to the top of the Serie A table following a 1-1 draw in Turin.

The draw left Juve one point behind leaders Sampdoria, who beat champions Inter Milan 1-0 on Saturday.

Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi salvaged AS Roma coach Claudio Ranieri’s unbeaten league start in charge of the giallorosso as his injury-time strike earned a 1-1 draw at Catania.

Slovakian midfielder Marek Hamsik eased the pressure on former Italy coach Roberto Donadoni as his brace gave Napoli a 2-1 home win over Siena.

In Turin it was a game of two halves as former France forward David Trezeguet rolled back the years and came close to a first-half hat-trick before Bologna laid siege to the Juve goal after the break to snatch a dramatic late share of the spoils.

Trezeguet came close with a left-foot volley that Emiliano Viviano tipped around the post.

He then gave the northern giants the lead on 24 minutes after Jonathan Zebina’s storming run into the box and shot came back off Viviano and a defender to present Trezeguet with a close range tap-in.

Returning playmaker Diego then set up the former Monaco man for a left foot finish that flashed just past the upright.

In first half stoppage time Andrea Raggi had the ball in the net for Bologna but it was chalked off for a narrow offside decision.

If Juve had looked comfortable before the break, they were anything but after it with former striker Marco Di Vaio terrorising their back-line. Table

He escaped to bear down one-on-one against Gianluigi Buffon but put the ball wide and moments later got free again, rounded the Italy stopper only to see Giorgi Chiellini get back to clear his shot off the line.

Buffon then came to the rescue to keep out a Giacomo Tedesco shot at full stretch before Adailton thrashed the rebound over the bar.

But three minutes into stoppage time Tedesco sent a long, high cross into the box and Adailton arrived at the back post to stab a volley into the ground that bounced up and beyond Buffon’s despairing dive.

In Sicily Japan forward Takayuki Morimoto gave hosts Catania a first half lead and that looked to be enough for the win until De Rossi’s late leveller.

Brazilian centre-back Juan flicked-on a corner that went to birthday boy Francesco Totti who’s mishit finish bounced off De Rossi’s thighs and over the line.

In Napoli Hamsik headed home from close range four minutes into the second half before former Middlesbrough forward Massimo Maccarone equalised for Siena.

But Hamsik sealed the three points, blasting home the rebound after his penalty had been saved by Gianluca Curci.

In other games Serie A top scorer Antonio Di Natale continued his hot streak as he netted in Udinese’s 2-0 win over Genoa while Atalanta climbed off the bottom of the table with a 1-1 draw at Chievo.

Livorno, who lost 1-0 at fourth-placed Fiorentina on Saturday, are the new basement dwellers.
