ROME:
Antonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored second-half goals as AC Milan defeated Siena 2-0 in Serie A. Milan had to wait until the 54th minute to clinch the breakthrough when Robinho created the opening for Nocerino to score his sixth goal of the season. Ibrahimovic added the second nine minutes later courtesy a controversial penalty. It was the Swede’s 10th goal of the season and fifth from the spot, but was awarded only after Kevin-Prince Boateng theatrically collapsed to the ground under a challenge from Zeljko Brkic. Elsewhere, Atalanta and Fiorentina drew 2-2.
