MILAN, Italy -- AC Milan secured third spot and a place in the Champions League after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Siena on Sunday in the final Serie A round of the season. Nike Air Max 270 Nz Womens . Fiorentina crushed Pescara 5-1 but remained in fourth spot and will play in the Europa League next season. Mario Balotelli levelled for Milan after it was contentiously awarded penalty six minutes from fulltime, and Philippe Mexes scored the winner three minutes later. Both teams were reduced to 10 men for the final 20 minutes after Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini and Siena defender Christian Terlizzi were sent off within moments of each other. Udinese took the second Europa League berth after winning 5-2 at Inter Milan for its eighth successive victory. Milans achievement is impressive considering numerous top players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, left the club in the last off-season. The team was 15th in October but has charged up the standings, losing only three times in the league since. It went into the final round of matches protecting a two-point lead over Fiorentina, with both sides visiting already-relegated clubs. "It was normal to be a little tired, above all psychologically, after this incredible fightback from a poor start to the campaign," Allegri said. "Tonight we ran into a great goalkeeper and hit the woodwork, while we were a little too hasty and felt the tension of the occasion. "I want to thank the players and the fans, who deserved a night like this. During a year you get some penalties that are dubious and are turned down, others that are definite. We were two points ahead going into the weekend, our destiny was in our hands, so we got the victory." Allegris future remains uncertain, with speculation of a move to Roma after criticism from owner and former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. "I certainly cant walk away as I have a contract, so it is their decision," he said. "Right now, talking about the future is too early. The season has just ended, let me enjoy this victory. In three years, the president has given me faith and could easily have fired me this season after the first eight games." Siena goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo denied Robinho and Balotelli in the opening minutes, and did even better to palm Robinhos fierce strike round the post in the 21st minute. Siena took the lead when Claudio Terzi was left unmarked to head in Alessandro Rosinas pass over the defence in the 26th. Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri brought on Giampaolo Pazzini and Stephan El Shaarawy for MBaye Niang and Antonio Nocerino in the second half. However, Ambrosini was sent off for a second booking after a sliding tackle on Adrian Calello in the 69th. Siena was also harshly reduced to 10 men when Terlizzi was shown a second yellow for clattering into Pazzini. Milan was awarded a penalty when Dias Felipe hauled down Balotelli. The Italy striker has never missed a penalty in his professional career and he duly converted his 23rd from the spot. He has now scored 12 goals in 13 games for Milan. The crucial goal came three minutes from time. Pegolo saved the Milan defenders original shot but lost the ball and Mexes reacted to toe-poke it home. Fiorentina has also had a fantastic campaign after an off-season of change following a disastrous season in which it finished 13th, just 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Last season, Delio Rossi was fired as Fiorentina coach for punching forward Adem Ljajic during a match. And it was Ljajic that was again the star as he notched a hat trick to help Fiorentina to a comfortable -- but ultimately meaningless -- victory. Matias Fernandez scored his first Serie A goal and Stevan Jovetic grabbed the other. Debutant Marco Vittiglio scored a consolation for Pescara. "Are we bitter at how it finished? No, we should be proud," Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said. "We tried and believed right to the end. We ought to be proud that we pushed Milan to the finish line. I thank the lads for this fantastic campaign. We just lacked the cherry on the cake." It took Udinese just 39 seconds to open the scoring against Inter as Giampiero Pinzi was given too much space by Juan Jesus, and he burst forward to score past former teammate Samir Handanovic. Udinese went 2-0 up in the 10th minute when an unmarked Maurizio Domizzi headed in Antonio Di Natales cross. Inter reduced the deficit less than two minutes later, however, when Juan Jesuss shot squirmed under Udinese goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic. Di Natale scored a stunning goal moments from halftime, curling the ball in off the far post for his 23rd strike of the season. Udinese extended its advantage further when Gabriel Silva lifted the ball over the onrushing Handanovic in the 52nd. Tommaso Rocchi gave Inter hope shortly after the hour mark when he slotted home Rodrigo Palacios cross. However, two minutes later Luis Muriel beat the offside trap and took advantage of a mix-up between Handanovic and teammate Yuto Nagatomo to score his sides fifth. Udinese finished four points above sixth-place Roma, which beat runner-up Napoli 2-1 after goals from Marquinho and Mattia Destro. League top-scorer Edinson Cavani grabbed one back for Napoli with his 29th goal of the season. Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri later announced his departure from the club after four years in charge. Lazio finished a point behind Roma after losing 1-0 at Cagliari, following Daniele Dessenas header. Torino twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at home to Catania, while Parma beat already-relegated Palermo 3-1. Earlier, Cyril Thereau scored twice, including a late equalizer, as Chievo Verona drew 2-2 at Atalanta. Bologna was held to a scoreless draw by Genoa. Nike Air Max Tn Nz . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed.

The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.airmaxnzwholeale.com/cheap-air-max-off-white-nz.html . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Andrew Luck isnt the only one who learned his lesson the last time Indianapolis and Denver played.The Broncos did, too.They entered the game with a 7-0 record a week after handing Aaron Rodgers the worst loss of his career, and they followed that by hammering Luck 11 times.Luck played through the pain and led the Colts to a 27-24 win. Afterward, he went to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a season-ending lacerated kidney and torn abdominal muscle.He is tough, we all know that, said Von Miller, whose 61 career sacks dont include any of Luck. He is going to break a couple of tackles and run through a couple of defenders, and he is going to make some great passes. We all know what type of tough guy he is.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak sure does.Well, thats Andrew. I know him well from being in Houston there for years and watching him grow up. Heck, I watched him in high school and thats what he stands for, Kubiak said. He plays the game hard and he is going to be there all four quarters, and thats something were preaching to our guys this week.While Luck missed the final two months of the season, the Broncos recovered and went on to win Super Bowl 50 thanks to Millers two sack-strips of Cam Newton that led to 15 points in Denvers 24-10 win.In the offseason, Miller signed a six-year, $114.5 million contract that included $70 million in guarantees, both records for a nonquarterback. The only player with a bigger guarantee is Luck, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract two weeks before Miller that included $87 million in assurances.Luck is more cognizant now of protecting both his body and team owner Jim Irsays investment.As a quarterback you have an obligation to be on the field, Luck said. That involves taking care of your body. Situationally, there are times when I need to slide or throw the ball away and Ive been working on that. Youre going to go out there and take a hit if the games on the line or in (certain) other situations.But I think in every year Im trying to approach the game in a better, more efficient way. So, I guess this is somewhat of a natural progression, as well.. Air Max 90 Sale Nz. The Broncos (1-0) hammered Newton 17 times in their Super Bowl sequel last week, although it took Graham Ganos missed 50-yard field goal in the closing seconds for them to walk away a 21-20 winner. Two of the hits, by linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Darian Stewart, drew fines from the NFL .The Broncos insist they wont change their style in light of the consequences or criticism.No, thats part of the game, Miller said. When you step outside the boundaries you get fined. We did that a couple of times. Its kind of hard to differentiate whats right and whats wrong (during play), and everybody is moving around. Afterward, you get fined for the wrong plays and you just try to make it right and just try to keep playing.Usually, the cumulative effect of Denvers hard hits show on the QBs face and body language by the fourth quarter.With a quarterback like Andrew Luck, it really doesnt because after every hit he is shaking guys hands and congratulating them, Miller said. They should, but not going up against No. 12.Miller hasnt been able to sack Luck in three regular-season meetings and one playoff game. He said their O-line is stout, tackles Joe Reitz and Anthony Castonzo are solid, and their scheme is sound.Its just tough to get to Andrew Luck, Miller said, and when you get to him its tough to bring him down with the ball.Game notes WR Demaryius Thomas (sore left hip) looked smoother at Fridays practice than he did all week. DE Derek Wolfe (neck) returned to practice. ... The Broncos will unveil signage at their stadium Sunday honoring those with retired jerseys: No. 7 for John Elway, No. 44 for Floyd Little and No. 18 for Frank Tripucka, whose sign will also include a mention of Peyton Manning.
