Soccer-Roma win at Napoli to stay on Inter's tail

MILAN, March 9 - In-form AS Roma maintained the
pressure on Serie A leaders Inter Milan with a confident 2-0 win
at Napoli on Sunday.

Simone Perrotta's early finish and Francesco Totti's
second-half penalty put second-placed Roma six points behind
Inter, who beat Reggina 2-0 on Saturday having suffered their
first defeat of the league campaign at Napoli last weekend.

Fifth-placed AC Milan, who unlike Roma were dumped out of
the Champions League in midweek, left it late to win 3-1 at
struggling Empoli and are now just a point behind Fiorentina,
who lost 1-0 at Siena.

Juventus, third and a point above Fiorentina, play at Genoa
in Sunday's late game.
