AC MILAN 2-0 CATANIA

AC Milan kept its title hopes alive on Sunday with a comfortable 2-0 win over Catania at Stadio Angelo Massimino.
Filippo Inzaghi scored midway through the opening half and Kaka added a second goal shortly after the restart, while the final margin could have been more if not for the woodwork.
The win moves Milan to within seven points of leader Inter Milan, with Catania staying in 15th, 11 points above the drop.

Milan dodged an early bullet from a Catania corner kick seven minutes into the game as the ball was played to the back post and nodded towards the front of goal by Jorge Andres Martinez.
Milan's Giuseppe Favalli tried to head the ball away, but he instead turned it towards goal, watching it crash off the post and stay out.
The Rossoneri came close to scoring from their own corner kick four minutes later as David Beckham lofted a high ball into the center of the box for Paolo Maldini, who sent a looping header over the head of goalkeeper Tomas Kosicky, only for the ball to be cleared off the line by Mariano Izco.

The breakthrough came midway through the half after a Catania turnover in midfield allowed Kaka to carry the ball down the right and cut towards the top of the box. He then slipped a pass between two defenders to Inzaghi, who stabbed the ball into the bottom right corner.
The Italian striker had a chance to add to his tally five minutes before the break when Andrea Pirlo got to the end line and drew the keeper before lobbing a cross to the far post for Inzaghi, whose header from a few yards failed to hit the empty net.
The second half started well for Catania as substitute Giacomo Tedesco went close with a 25-yard effort, while Giuseppe Mascara shot well over from a free kick.
However, Milan added a second goal in the 52nd minute when Massimo Ambrosini's left-wing cross was headed on goal by Beckham, and although Kosicky was able to make the stop, he could only parry the ball into the path of Kaka, who was left with an easy finish from three yards.
Marek Jankulovski then floated a shot on goal from the left side of the box that forced Kosicky to tip the ball over the crossbar, while Kaka set up Inzaghi with a great chance from right in front of goal, but he put it over the net from four yards.
Inzaghi was denied a second goal in the 66th minute when his shot was deflected off the post by the keeper, while a brilliant effort from Kaka one minute later came back off the woodwork.
The home side had no way back into the match despite being let off by some poor Milan finishing and they have now dropped four of their last five games
