Reggina 2:0 AC Milan - match report Scorers: Amoruso 8 ®, Amerini 67 ® Reggina got the win they needed to stay in the top flight, as Nicola Amoruso and Amerini got the better of a hungover Milan. The Rossoneri were celebrating Wednesday's Champions League triumph, but it was all still to play for at the Granillo, as Reggina needed a victory to stay in Serie A. Coming back from an 11-point Calciopoli penalty, they had to do without the suspended Alessandro Lucarelli and Pasquale Foggia. Ronaldo made a surprise comeback early from a thigh strain, while Yoann Gourcuff and Ricardo Oliveira sat out a ban. Nicola Amoruso gave Reggina a precious lead in some style. He had his back to goal and flicked the ball up twice around the six-yard box to turn and strike. Milan fought back and had a series of shots charged down in the space of the same move, then Andrea Campagnolo fingertipped a Christian Brocchi daisy-cutter round the post. Former Reggina striker Marco Borriello thought he had scored, but his header struck Giandomenico Mesto's back practically on the line. Gazzi's drive from 20 metres skimmed the upright and at the other end Borriello sprung the offside trap to drill wide when he really should have done better. Luca Vigiani fired off target from the edge of the area and Ronaldo brought a tough save out of Campagnolo on the stroke of half-time. Brocchi's ball over the defence found a Marcos Cafu volley off target, but Giuseppe Favalli's howler in his own area almost handed Amoruso a second goal. Moments later Cafu's angled drive on the counter clipped the base of the upright. Zeljko Kalac flew to tip another Amoruso strike out from under the bar, but Reggina doubled their lead on 67 minutes. Vigiani cut back to the edge of the area for Amerini to strike with the outside of his right foot. Milan wanted a penalty for a Maurizio Lanzaro handling offence to block Cafu's shot.- Ronaldo Lima

Red Bull pair unlucky Red Bull Racing had an unlucky race as both drivers suffered problems with Mark Webber retiring early with a gearbox failure and David Coulthard unable to improve on his 13th starting position and ending up 14th. The Scot got caught up in Vitantonio Liuzzi's accident on the second lap and had to endure the rest of the race with a damaged front wing. However, both drivers will be happy that the RB3 showed signs of improvement this weekend. David Coulthard said: "Unfortunately I came together with Tonio (Liuzzi) and damaged the front wing and end plate of my car, so I had a lot of understeer all through the race. We were debating whether or not to change wing at the pit stop, but decided to stick with it as the time lost in changing it would be so high -but we couldn't get anywhere. When I stopped at the end of the race, we saw the end plate was broken, so we must have been losing a lot of down-force. The guys in the garage have done a great job turning mine and Mark's cars around this weekend. There are still a lot of races left this season and I still think Red Bull is going to improve." Mark Webber commented: "There were a couple of things going on. First I had a small misfire on the engine, which wasn't really fantastic, especially through the Swimming Pool section, but it also affected me at other parts of the track. I was pressing on and dealing with that. Then I lost third gear and although I tried switching between second and fourth, the car kept locking up. Initially I tried to drive around the problems, but when that happens here, you end up in the fence looking even more stupid!"- David Coulthard

Torres to Marca "We're going to win the last two finals" Miguel Torres has only missed one match since getting the nod from Fabio Capello to play for the First Team. The multi-purpose defender has played 1,477 minutes over 18 matches, all as a starter except one. He has become an important piece of this Real Madrid team that is 180 minutes away from being proclaimed League champions. Another final won against Deportivo and Real Madrid are one step closer to the League title. We're only two steps away from reaching our goal and of sharing our success with our fans at the Cibeles Fountain. The team is in great form, confident, and really excited about finishing off the season on such a high note after all the hard work we've put in. The title is still in your hands. How important is it that you control your own destiny? We depend only on ourselves, which gives us peace of mind and confidence. We have two finals left and we're going to do whatever it takes to win them. We know no one is just going to hand us the title, so we have to go out there and play hard if we want to be champions. Capello isn't very happy about the stoppage for international qualifiers and friendlies. Do you think it might be detrimental to your chances of winning the League? We're not going to relax even with this stoppage. The team is very focused and we'll devote all our attention to winning the League once we get all our players back. The two remaining finals will be very challenging because Madridistas are about to see the three year title drought come to an end. What's it like in the dressing room with such a close title run? There's no tension. We're on top of the table so it's not worth easing up on the gas and losing everything we've worked so hard to accomplish up until this point. The hardest task is behind us and all that's left is to have fun and maintain this pace. We've got two very difficult games left and our only choice is to win out in order not to depend on anyone else. We're working hard and confidence is peaking. The veterans have said that this is the hardest League they've ever competed in, and that's why each victory is so much more meaningful. The Bernabéu picked the team up when Deportivo netted the equaliser. The fans have been outstanding. It was absolutely amazing. The team is firing on all cylinders, so I hope we pick up where we left off after the stoppage. After beginning the season with Castilla, have you come to terms with the fact that your right in the thick of Madrid's quest for the League title? Playing for Madrid is the greatest thing that could ever happen to me and I'm living it up. I try to take advantage of each opportunity the coach gives me and I am giving me heart and soul to this team. Winning a title with Madrid would fulfill a lifelong dream. This team will do whatever it takes to make our fans proud.- Raúl González Blanco
