In Italy - "Rome" and "Milan" victories (3 VIDEOS) © EuroFootball.com

Two matches were played in the Italian "Serie A" championship on Saturday.

The "Milan" club gained a four-point advantage over their closest pursuers at least until tomorrow's matches, defeating "Fiorentina" at home thanks to the only goal by Zlatan Ibrahimović.

The Swede scored just before the big break, and in the second half, the Florence team remained in the minority - Per Kroldrup was sent off the field just before the final whistle.

The Brazilian Ronaldinho, who upset the coach with his late-night antics, was not included in the starting lineup for "Milan," and he only appeared on the field towards the end of the match.

"Roma" rose to third place after defeating "Udinese" 2-0.

Jeremy Menez put the "Giallorossi" ahead in the 24th minute, and Marco Borriello doubled the lead after the break.

It is worth noting that the Roma team also did not finish the game with a full lineup - Nicolas Burdisso was sent off the field in the 81st minute.
