ROME - AC Milan struggled to be clinical in Serie A, as they played out a goalless tie again with Torino on Sunday.
It was Milan's second successive 0-0 stalemate after the Diavolo was held by Bologna last weekend, despite 33 attempts
It was Milan's second successive 0-0 stalemate after the Diavolo was held by Bologna last weekend, despite 33 attempts.
Milan was in dire need of a victory to maintain its advantage on the table but visited Torino without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The away side managed 13 attempts throughout the whole game, but only a few of them really threatened while on the other end Mergim Vojvoda forced a stunning save out of Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
After the tie, AC Milan still ranks first with 68 points, but saw its lead diminished to two point over second-placed Inter Milan who has a game in hand.

Elsewhere, Napoli dropped to third place after a home setback, as the Partenopei lost to Fiorentina 3-2 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
It was a good day for both Roma teams, as Ciro Immobile continued his fearsome form at club level, completing a hat-trick to surge Lazio to dominate Genoa 4-1, while Carles Perez and Chris Smalling's goals in a matter of four minutes surged Roma to register a comeback 2-1 victory over Salernitana.
