Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny saved a first-half penalty from MBaye Niang.Roma visits Juventus on Saturday.What was important was to win and we showed character because Milan was well organized, Nainggolan said.

But this year we have more character, we have an aim and we want to believe in ourselves.Well have to fight also in Turin and well play to win.Milan, which is one point above fourth-placed Napoli, hosts Atalanta in the next round.Its an undeserved defeat, Roma was lucky, Milan coach Vincenzo Montella said. But we are on the right path. And we are at a good point: the Europa League is our aim.Montella had mixed thoughts over the failed penalty.Before the match I repeated to the team that (Niang) would still be the penalty taker, because I think hes the one who shoots the best, he said. Who will take the next one? Theres time, well see.Both Roma and Milan were locked on 32 points going into the match in Rome, which got off to a frantic start. Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had his gloves stung by a rocket from Edin Dzeko, while Milan went close too on the counter.Roma was dominating while Milan appeared content to sit back and try to surprise the home side on the counter. That tactic almost paid off in the 27th minute.Gianluca Lapadula ran onto Andrea Bertolaccis pass, prodding it as Szczesny came for the ball and the Roma goalkeeper took his ankles instead, resulting in a penalty.Niang had seen his penalty saved by Crotone goalkeeper Alex Cordaz in the last round but the Frenchman stepped up again, only for Szczesny to redeem himself by blocking the spot kick.Dzeko almost gave Roma the lead in the 36th as he beat the offside trap to run onto Antonio Rudigers long ball but sent his effort wide of the far post.Roma broke the deadlock in the 62nd when Kostas Manolas headed a ball down to Nainggolan, who raced toward goal before curling a delightful effort into the left side of the net from just outside the area.The final stages of the match were played out at a furious tempo but without any real goalscoring opportunities.The only negative note for Roma was the sight of Bruno Peres being stretchered off in tears toward the end of the first half after injuring his left leg.---FIORENTINA 2, SASSUOLO 1Nikola Kalinic ended his goalscoring drought at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in style with a first-half double to propel Fiorentina to victory over Sassuolo.Kalinic had scored twice for Fiorentina at home in the Europa League this season but all his six goals in the league had come on the road. The Croatia forward hadnt found the back of the net at the Franchi in Serie A since a 2-1 defeat to Juventus in April.Kalinic scored his first in the 10th when he sprung the offside trap and found himself in lots of space to hook a volley over Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli and into the far top corner from 12 yards (meters).Sassuolo continued to press but was thwarted several times by fine stops from Fiorentina goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu.Kalinic doubled his tally five minutes from halftime when he cheekily backheeled Federico Chiesas low cross in off the inside of the post.Sassuolo got back into the match in the 75th with a chaotic goal following a corner. Tatarusanu saved one effort and others were blocked by the Fiorentina defense before the ball fell to an unmarked Francesco Acerbi, who fired into the bottom right corner.Fiorentina moved into seventh place, but has played a match less than most other teams. Its game at Genoa was suspended after 27 minutes on Sep. 11 at 0-0 because of heavy rain and the remainder of the 90 minutes will be played on Thursday. Nike Air Max 270 Outlet .

LOUIS -- St. Mark Stoneman, Durhams highly rated opening batsman, will join Surrey at the end of the season after turning down the offer of a new contract. The decision is a blow to Durham, with Stoneman having come through the clubs academy to captain the side in limited-overs cricket.Stoneman will link up with former Durham team-mate Mark Di Venuto, who is now Surreys head coach. He could be followed by more high-profile departures due to the straitened financial circumstances at Durham, with Scott Borthwick, Mark Wood and Keaton Jennings among the most high-profile players out of contract at the end of the season.Both Stoneman and Borthwick have featured in recent discussions for England selection and the county would benefit from ECB payments for their development even if they were to be called up after switching clubs.Despite traditionally tough batting surfaces at Chester-le-Street, Stoneman has flourished over the last few years, passing 1000 first-class runs in each season since 2013. His first-class average is just 32.11 but he has been mentioned as a possible Test opening partner for Alastair Cook. In List A cricket, Stoneman averages 40.17 and led Durham to victory in the Royal London Cup two years ago.The 29-year-old indicated that a desire to win over the England selectors contributed to his decision to move south, despite being offered a two-year deal by Durham.Joining Surrey under the guidance of long-time mentor Michael Di Venuto and Alec Stewart will provide the platform to reach new levels with my batting, Stoneman said. It is a fantastic opportunity to join a young and exciting squad. I am very excited for the years ahead at the Kia Oval which is a great Test match venue and I hope my experience can contribute to a period of success for Surrey CCC.The desire to pllay for England is as strong as it has ever been and I feel that now is the right time to accept a new challenge in an environment which will hopefully see me fulfil the dream of playing for England.dddddddddddd.Durham have also allowed Phil Mustard to leave, with his contract up at the end of the season, but Paul Collingwood will continue to play on. Collingwood, captain of the Championship side, has agreed another one-year extension, which will take him into his 22nd year as a professional.Collingwood, 40, is currently averaging 50.66 in the Championship and saw Durham move up to second in the Division One table after a hard-fought victory over Lancashire at Southport last week.I am so proud to still be playing for my home county who have given me the perfect environment to fulfil all of my cricketing dreams, Collingwood said. I feel that I can continue to contribute to the team and I really want to help develop the next generation of Durham cricketers.I know that this club still has so much to offer English cricket and I continue to be excited by the young talent coming through the ranks.Mustard, who is in his benefit year, will join Gloucestershire on loan until the end of the season, meaning he is likely to miss out on a farewell T20 appearance at Chester-le-Street. The 33-year-old lost his place in the Championship team last year, briefly joining Lancashire on loan, and although he has continued to be a leading limted-overs performer, Durham have been unable to afford a new deal for him.He joins Gloucestershire as cover for Gareth Roderick, who suffered a finger dislocation that required surgery and is expected to be out for six weeks.
