Catania eases relegation worries
Soccer Betting Lines
02/27/2010 -
Catania, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Catania gained a bit of breathing room in
their relegation battle on Saturday as they recorded a 4-0 win over Bari at
the Angelo Massimino.
The home side entered the weekend only one point above the bottom three, but
their resounding win moves them four points clear and continues a good run of
form that has seen Catania earn 11 points from its last six games.
Adrian Ricchiuti scored four minutes into the game and the lead was doubled
five minutes before halftime by Cristian Llama.
Bari could have pulled a goal back in the 64th minute, but Paulo Barreto
failed to convert from the penalty spot, and Takayuki Morimoto and Jorge
Andres Martinez sealed the win with goals in the last 10 minutes for Catania.
The game could not have started better for the home side as they took their
first chance of the game inside of four minutes.
Ricchiuti drove a low shot from outside the box to goalkeeper Jean-Francois
Gillet's right, and the ball skipped off the wet surface and past the diving
keeper to open the scoring.
Barreto then had two good opportunities to equalize for Bari, but failed to
convert either chance, and he paid for being wasteful as Llama took a
back-heeled pass from Martinez and beat Gillet from the edge of the area.
Ciro Capuano was called for handling the ball inside his own penalty area,
giving Barreto a chance from the spot.
However, the Bari striker was denied by the post, further adding to a
frustrating game.
Morimoto sealed the win in the 81st minute with his fifth goal of the season,
and Martinez added a fourth in stoppage time with a well-struck shot from
inside the box.
Lazio appeared on its way to three big points, but Fiorentina snatched a draw
in stoppage time with a goal from Keirrison to help the Viola to a 1-1 draw.
