MILAN, Italy -- Fiorentina fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Cagliari as it lost ground in the race for a Champions League place, while AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorfs winning start in the Italian league ended on Saturday. Milan was held to 1-1 at home by Torino. Cagliari scored six minutes from halftime when Mauricio Pinilla blasted home from the penalty spot after Facundo Roncaglia tripped Marco Sau. The home side could have doubled its tally in stoppage time as first Fiorentina defender Stefan Savic almost scored an own goal then Albin Ekdals shot clipped the top of the upright. Fiorentina new signing Anderson made his first start following a loan move from Manchester United but proved ineffective. The Tuscan team was missing leading strikers Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi, who are out with long-term injuries. Fiorentina remained three points behind third-place Napoli, which visits Atalanta on Sunday. Later, Seedorf was looking to become the first Milan coach since Luigi Bonizzoni in 1958-59 to win his opening three Serie A games. Milan, which was without the suspended Mario Balotelli, dominated but Torino took the lead in the 17th minute thanks to a wonderful solo effort from Ciro Immobile. He ran almost half the length of the pitch before feinting past Daniele Bonera and firing across into the bottom right corner for his 11th goal of the season. Adil Rami scored his first for Milan since his move from Valencia to level matters four minutes after halftime. The France defender ran onto Sulley Muntaris short pass before unleashing a rocket shot into the left of goal. Robinho thought he gave Milan the lead 10 minutes later when he curled Kakas through ball into the far side of the net, but he was narrowly ruled offside. "Its a really great emotion to score," Rami said. "It was four or five months that I didnt play, it was a difficult moment for me, it wasnt easy in my head. Im lucky to have a strong character." Rami was suspended by Valencia at the beginning of October after insulting his coach and teammates in a radio interview. Elsewhere, Udinese snapped a run of four successive defeats to beat Bologna 2-0 in a relegation fight. Udinese took the lead in the 15th minute when a somewhat soft penalty was awarded against Michele Pazienza for a nudge on Andrea Lazzari, and Antonio Di Natale fired Udinese in front, despite Bologna goalkeeper Gianluca Curci guessing the right way. Nico Lopez sealed the result in stoppage time when he finished off a swift counterattack. Udinese moved provisionally six points clear of the relegation zone. Bologna remained just a point off the bottom three. Chris Lindstrom Youth Jersey .

Louis Blues, having added Ryan Miller and Steve Ott from Buffalo, remain the No.Ulster climbed above Munster into fourth place in the Guinness PRO12 table after defeating leaders Connacht 18-10 on Friday night. The hosts took control of the contest in the first half, as two penalties from Paddy Jackson and a try from Ireland hooker Rory Best gave them a comfortable lead.Connacht rallied and despite hitting the upright with his first penalty attempt, Shane OLeary sent one between the posts in added time in the opening period to reduce the interval deficit to 11-3. Ulster regained control soon after the restart, though, as winger Craig Gilroys try was converted by Jackson.Connacht refused to buckle and scored their only try of the night through replacement Coalin Blade on 54 minutes, with OLeary duly adding the extras.That proved to be the final score of the night with Ulster remaining top of the pile, a situation that could change if Leinster defeat Munster in a game which can be seen live on Sky Sports.Ulster got things going on the scoreboard when Jackson kicked a fifth-minute penalty after Connacht hooker Tom McCartney was penalised for coming in from the side.Gilroy then picked off a loose pass from Bundee Aki and with the visitors trying to run the ball out of their own 22, Ulster won a penalty at the breakdown which Jackson slotted over.The hosts had to work hard to deny Connacht after several dangerous sorties near their line before they began to cause problems of their own again.A penalty given away by Connacht back-row John Muldoon saw Jackson put the ball in the corner and from Franco van der Merwes take, the home side mauled their way over with Best claiming the touchdown, but Jackson failed to convert as his kick hit the post.OLeary also found the upright with a 39th-minute penalty from an Ulster scrum but the fly-half made no mistake with his next shot to close the home sides leadd to eight points at the break.dddddddddddd Skipper Rory Best scored Ulsters opening try Gilroy was on hand to extend Ulsters lead in the second half, however, with the winger keeping an OLeary touch-finder off a penalty in play.Peter Browne took control and then Jacksons pass to Payne led to the full-back off-loading to put Gilroy in at the corner.Jackson converted to put the home side 18-3 in front but then had Andrew Trimble yellow-carded for an intentional knock-on.Connacht, now releasing their bench, then worked substitute Blade over for a well-worked score with the scrum-half scoring off his first touch courtesy of Eoin McKeon and Muldoon.OLearys conversion narrowed it to 18-10 just before Trimble came back. Sky Live: Leinster v Munster Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray will be on opposing sides when Leinster face Munster Ulster looked to kill the game off and after being encamped in Connachts 22, Best was held up over the line in the 65th minute before departing for treatment having clashed heads with Matt Healy.OLeary was subsequently shown yellow for a high tackle on Gilroy 10 minutes from time and was quickly followed by substitute flanker Sean OBrien for interfering with a pass two minutes later.But despite being reduced to 13 men, Connacht resisted Ulsters surges towards their line as the clock ticked down.Watch Leinster v Munster on Saturday.
