MILAN - Bari missed the chance to move up
to sixth in Serie A when they drew 1-1 at Genoa in a
bad-tempered match on Wednesday.
Promoted Bari, who used their attractive brand of football
to draw 2-2 with leaders Inter Milan at the weekend, went ahead
after four minutes through in-form striker Paulo Barreto but
Genoa protested he had used an arm.
Omar Milanetto equalised early in the second period for the
mid-table hosts, who had to postpone the original game in
December because of snow.
Atalanta continued their revival under new coach Bortolo
Mutti by coming from two down to draw 2-2 at fellow strugglers
Bologna in another rearranged match.
Home striker Marco Di Vaio scored twice in the first half
but a Thomas Manfredini header and a cracking strike from
Uruguayan striker Ernesto Chevanton sealed the draw.
