A second-half penalty taken by Kaka earned AC Milan a 1-1 draw with Sicilian minnows Catania at the San Siro yesterday as the European champions' poor domestic form continued.

Milan, who visit Glasgow Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday, have not won in Serie A since their opening-day victory at Genoa five games ago.

Kaka levelled the score after Uruguayan midfielder Jorge Martinez had headed the visitors in front in the 25th minute.

After six games Milan have seven points, seven fewer than leaders Inter Milan who thrashed AS Roma 4-1 on Saturday.

Milan thought they had equalised three minutes after falling behind when an Andrea Pirlo free-kick hit the crossbar and Filippo Inzaghi netted the ricochet, but the goal was disallowed for handball.

Kaka's equaliser came in the 48th minute after Catania's Mark Edusei had intercepted a cross with his arm.

Lazio, who rested several first-choice players in view of Wednesday's Champions League match against Real Madrid, drew 1-1 at Reggina.

Juventus jumped to second in the table after David Trezeguet scored in the 90th minute to beat Torino away last night.

Fiorentina are third on 12 points after Saturday's 3-0 win at Tuscan rivals Livorno. Argentinian striker Pablo Osvaldo scored twice and his compatriot Mario Santana put the result beyond doubt.

Roma are fourth with 11 points.

Sampdoria scored after just three minutes when Claudio Bellucci beat Atalanta's offside trap and tucked away Vincenzo Montella's smart pass on their way to 3-0 victory. Montella also provided the cross that enabled Paolo Sammarco to double the lead.

Antonio Cassano sewed things up in the closing stages with his first goal since joining Sampdoria from Real Madrid on loan in the close season.

It was Atalanta's first defeat of the current season.
