Juventus beats Siena 1-0 to close gap with Inter

Juventus closed the gap on Serie A league leader Inter Milan to four points with a 1-0 victory at home to Siena on Sunday, but put in an unconvincing performance in its first match after a three-week winter break.

Claudio Ranieri's team created few chances and needed a free kick by Alessandro Del Piero to break the deadlock on 33 minutes. However, with Inter slipping up on Saturday night by drawing 1-1 at home to Cagliari, the result was more important than the performance.

Napoli was another team which made a sluggish return after the winter break, but eventually moved into the Champions League qualification places by beating Catania 1-0 at home.
