Juve sinks AC Milan to close in on title
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 04 - 2013

ROME — Juventus moved a step closer to its 29th Italian title with a 1-0 win over AC Milan, thanks to Arturo Vidal's second-half penalty Sunday.
Juve needs four points from the final five games after closest rival Napoli, 11 points behind, saw off Cagliari 3-2 in dramatic fashion at the Stadio San Paolo.
A disappointing Milan side now has to think seriously about a resurgent Fiorentina, which beat Torino 4-3, and now sits just one point behind it in fourth.
Falcao gives Atletico 1-0 win
Radamel Falcao scored his 25th goal of the Spanish league season to give Atletico Madrid a hard-fought 1-0 win at Sevilla and keep his team in the hunt for a second-place finish Sunday.
Also, Real Sociedad extended its unbeaten run to 14 straight games by drawing 0-0 at Osasuna, while Espanyol beat nine-man Getafe 2-0 for its third straight away victory. After 76 minutes featuring more hard fouls than scoring chances, Falcao finally broke through with a goal after the Colombia striker had battled again and again with Sevilla's defenders.
Falcao stretched his left leg to redirect Raul Garcia's low cross into the net after substitute Adrian Lopez had unbalanced Sevilla's defense with a lobbed pass from the left to the right side of the area for Garcia to volley back across the six-yard box. Falcao's 25 goals gives him one more than all of last season with six games to play. Only Barcelona's Lionel Messi with 43 and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo with 31 have scored more goals in Spain's topflight this campaign.
PSG eases past Nice
Paris Saint-Germain moved another step closer to claiming its first Ligue 1 crown in 19 years with a commanding 3-0 victory over 10-man Nice Sunday.
Jeremy Menez struck a 10th-minute opener at Parc des Princes, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted his league-leading 27th goal from the penalty spot following goalkeeper David Ospina's dismissal before Clement Chantome added a late third to leave Carlo Ancelotti's side needing just seven points from their final five matches.
“I'm very happy tonight. We're nine points ahead, that means the title is close,” said Ancelotti. — Agencies
