UDINESE joined AC Milan at the top of Serie A on Saturday after winning 1-0 at Inter Milan in a game that finished in dramatic style with two missed penalties and two sendings-off in the last four minutes.
Chilean winger Mauricio Isla scored the only goal from a lightning counter-attack in the 73rd minute to give Udinese 27 points from 13 matches, the same as Milan which has a better goal difference.
In a pulsating finale, Javier Zanetti (Inter) and Damiano Ferronetti (Udinese) were dismissed while Antonio Di Natale and Giampaolo Pazzini missed penalties for each side.
"It's not that common for Udinese to win at the San Siro," visiting coach Francesco Guidolin said. "We are adding up the points and to be top is marvellous. We must live in the present though."
Inter remained sixth from bottom after suffering its sixth league defeat of the season.
"We have to be quiet now and work hard," said coach Claudio Ranieri. "If we are far off the title, there are still other prizes to be had this season. Without crying we have to fight and see where we are by the end of the year."
A double from Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani and one each by Ezequiel Lavezzi and Blerim Dzemaili helped Napoli climb to fifth with a 4-2 win over bottom club Lecce.
In Germany, Bayern Munich reclaimed the Bundesliga lead with a 4-1 win over Werder Bremen on Saturday, while Borussia Dortmund was held to 1-1 at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Franck Ribery opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, but substitute Markus Rosenberg equalized in the 52nd. Thomas Mueller then earned Bayern's first penalty, which was converted by substitute Arjen Robben in the 69th.
Ribery sealed the win with his second goal in the 77th, and earned another penalty which Robben converted in the 83rd.
