Bari compound Juventus misery with 3-1 win

Juventus failed to atone for their midweek Champions League exit, falling to a 3-1 Serie A defeat at Bari today.

Bari, who moved up to fifth, took an early lead through Riccardo Meggiorini's deflected half-volley but David Trezeguet tapped in the rebound from a Diego shot to level on 23 minutes.

Paulo Barreto restored Bari's lead from the penalty spot just before halftime but Juve missed a spot-kick of their own when Diego blazed over on 68 minutes.

Bari's former Juventus midfielder Sergio Almiron sealed the win with a piledriver nine minutes from time.

Juve remain third, five points behind leaders Inter Milan, and the defeat will increase the pressure on coach Ciro Ferrara after Tuesday's 4-1 home defeat by Bayern Munich which ended their Champions League hopes at the group stage.

Ferrara's men, who had hoped to have ended an indifferent spell with a 2-1 win over Inter last weekend, were a little unlucky as they created a string of chances they could not put away.

Mariano Bogliacino headed an equaliser deep into stoppage time to earn Napoli a 3-3 draw at Cagliari in a thriller earlier today.

Inter visit Atalanta on Sunday while second-placed AC Milan host Palermo.
