[football] Inter Held by Bari; Juve Wins

The first round of the Serie A sprang up a surprise when champions Inter Milan was held by newcomer to the league Bari FC. Inter took the lead when Eto'o converted a penalty Diego Milito gained when he was tripped inside the penalty area. The match was 56 minutes old then. However Bari looked dangerous in the occasional counter attacks and at the 74th minute Kutuzov scored from one such attack. Bari looked like scoring a few times more while the champion side lacked penetration in the attack even with the strikeforce of Eto'o, Diego Milito, Ballotelli, Stankovic and Quaresma.
Juventus got their first win in another match against Chievo with Iaquinta scoring the only goal from a Diego freekick at the 11th minute.
Earlier, AC Milan shrugged off their poor form in the pre-season with a win in the first official match of the season. The Rossoneries won 2-1 against Siena with Pato socring twice.
