Toni: Fiorentina's Italy international striker Luca Toni struck twice in his team's 5-2 win over Reggina yesterday to become the first player in 47 years to score 30 goals in Serie A. The last man to reach 30 goals in a season was Argentine Anton Valentin Angelillo who scored 33 goals in the 1958/1959 season for Inter. Toni is only the third Italian born player to have achieved the feat in Serie A following Felice Placido Borel of Juventus in 1934 and Giuseppe Meazza for Inter in 1930. Both scored 31 goals.

Dutch Cup final: Klaas-Jan Huntelaar struck in injury time to give Ajax a 2-1 win over champions PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Cup final yesterday.

Zidane: Zinedine Zidane scored for Real Madrid when he was given an emotional send-off by the club's fans last night in his last match at the Bernabeu before his retirement after the World Cup.

Real ended up drawing the game 3-3, a result that allowed them to take second place in the Primera Liga a point ahead of Valencia and 12 behind Barcelona.
