Inter 3-1 Udinese (Serie A 04/05) He might have missed his flight back to Italy on Friday, but Adriano didn't miss the target at the San Siro on Sunday afternoon. The Emperor inspired Inter to a 3-1 victory over Udinese with two first-half corkers and Christian Vieri made the result safe with the Nerazzurri's other goal - his first in a competitive match since April. The Brazilian bomber gave Inter a dream start to their first league win at home this season with a thunderous long-range free kick in the eighth minute, then doubled the score four minutes later with what has to be the best individual effort of the Serie A campaign so far. He received from Juan Veron then ran over half the pitch, dribbled three opponents and fired past De Sanctis. Udinese pulled one back early in the second half through Mauri, who won the ball just inside the Inter box then placed his shot past Fontana. After several minutes of Bianconeri pressure, Christian Vieri restored the Nerazzurri's two-goal advantage. The Italian centre-forward took Adriano's assist past Cribari then poked home. Who said Vieri and Adriano can't play together? Inter are next in action this Wednesday with a Uefa Champions League Matchday 3 clash with Valencia at the Mestalla.
