AC Milan's problems continued when it was held to a goalless draw at bottom club Chievo Verona in Serie A yesterday and leader AS Roma drew 1-1 at home with Sassuolo which equalized deep into stoppage time.
Milan, missing striker Mario Balotelli through suspension, extended its winless run to six games in all competitions and finished with 10 men after Riccardo Montolivo was sent off for a second bookable offense in the 81st minute.
The visitors, who have won only three times in 12 Serie A outings and have 13 points, dominated the game and nearly snatched a win when Robinho hit the post with 10 minutes left and Kaka fired over from the rebound.
Roma, which has 32 out of a possible 36 points, went ahead against promoted Sassuolo when Alessandro Longhi put through his own goal in the 19th minute but Domenico Berardi grabbed an equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Juventus and Napoli, level in second place on 28 points, were meeting later yesterday.
