Juventus extend San Siro jinx

AC Milan remain winless at San Siro in Serie A this season after a 0-0 draw against Juventus while UC Sampdoria managed their sixth league win of the season against Reggina Calcio.

Eventful draw
There were no goals at the stadio Giuseppe Meazza but there was plenty of action at either end in an entertaining match. The visitors came closest to taking the lead on eleven minutes when David Trezeguet hit the post, while Dida was at full stretch to deny a fierce Hasan Salihamidžić strike shortly after the break.

In-form Buffon
Gianluigi Buffon also excelled in the Juve goal thwarting a second-half Kaká volley and saving Filippo Inzaghi's late effort with his legs, while Paolo Maldini's last-minute effort beat the Italy goalkeeper only to whistle over the bar. The Bianconeri are in second place, two points behind leaders FC Internazionale Milano, who have played two games less and travel to ACF Fiorentina on Sunday. Milan, meanwhile, are provisionally in seventh place.

Bellucci double
Sampdoria moved up to sixth place in Serie A following their third 3-0 win in four matches. Claudio Bellucci took his league goal tally for the season to seven after scoring twice (5, 76) either side of midfielder Paolo Sammarco's 56th-minute strike. Lowly Reggina's miserable afternoon was compounded by the dismissal of defender Maurizio Lanzaro (75).
