Another Serie A crown for Inter

Soccer Betting Lines

05/16/2010 - Siena, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inter Milan claimed its fifth successive Serie A title on Sunday as Diego Milito's goal in the 57th minute was enough to give Inter a 1-0 win at Siena.

The Nerazzurri entered the final day of the season with a two-point lead on second-placed Roma, but for a while, it looked like Jose Mourinho's side was in danger of giving the title away.

Inter was being held to a 0-0 draw at halftime, while Roma led Chievo, 2-0, at the break with goals from Mirko Vucinic and Daniele de Rossi.

However, Milito scored the necessary goal to keep his team on top, clinching the 18th Serie A crown in club history for Inter.

Siena had already been assured of relegation prior to kickoff, but they survived a number of chances in the first half to make the champions a bit nervous.

Mario Balotelli sent his volley just wide of the far post from six yards before Milito had a close-range header kept out by goalkeeper Gianluca Curci, who reacted well to make the save.

Balotelli was at it again in the 38th minute with an overhead kick that struck the crossbar, but Inter continued to be frustrated.

Curci produced a good save on Milito shortly after halftime when he tipped a powerful shot from the Argentine over the crossbar, while Milito volleyed the ensuing corner kick over the net from inside the six-yard box.

However, the breakthrough finally arrived minutes later when Javier Zanetti weaved past two defenders and laid the ball off to Milito, who drove it into the bottom right corner from eight yards.

Dejan Stankovic tried to double the lead 15 minutes from time, but his shot hit the crossbar, while Inter survived a late scare from Aleandro Rosi, whose right-wing cross barely missed the far post in the 87th minute.

Sampdoria did enough on Sunday to secure fourth place as they got a goal from Giampaolo Pazzini early in the second half of a 1-0 win over Napoli, while Palermo has to settle for fifth despite beating Atalanta, 2-1, with a late penalty kick goal from Edison Cavani.

Bari doubled up on Fiorentina, 2-0, Cagliari and Bologna played to a 1-1 draw, Catania's Maxi Lopez scored the lone goal in his team's 1-0 win against Genoa and Davide Lanzafame tallied two goals in a 4-1 win for Parma over Livorno.
