WASHINGTON - My fellow citizens,

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.


On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. All this we will do.

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them— that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.

As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and we are ready to lead once more.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

This is the source of our confidence— the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive ... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.

Indonesia - Oman 0-0, Hasil Pra Piala Asia 2011

Hebat , perjuangan merah putih di Oman..
Pola bertahan cukup efektif bagi indonesia untuk menahan Oman pada Pra piala Asia di Oman.

Indonesia membawa pulang satu poin dari kandang Oman, dalam laga kualifikasi Piala Asia 2011. Bambang Pamungkas cs sukses menahan tim juara Piala Teluk 2009 itu dengan skor 0-0.

Di awal babak pertama, pertandingan yang berlangsung di Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex, Senin (19/1/2009) malam WIB, berjalan dengan tempo lambat.

Indonesia sempat mencoba sesekali mencuri peluang. Kans terbaik didapat oleh Boaz Solossa yang melepas tendangan dari luar kotak penalti, yang kemudian ditepis oleh kiper Oman, Sulaiman Al Mazroui. Bola muntah yang disambar Ponaryo Astaman melayang di atas mistar gawang tuan rumah.

'Tim Garuda' kembali memiliki peluang. Kali ini lewat Bambang Pamungkas, namun tendangan BP masih bisa ditepis kiper lawan.

Setelah itu, permainan praktis dikuasai Oman. Penjaga gawang Indonesia, Markus Horison melakukan penyelamatan penting dengan menghalau sundulan Hani al Dhabit.

Indonesia sungguh beruntung ketika beberapa saat kemudian tendangan Hassan Rabia membentur tiang gawang. Dan Markus pun kembali beraksi untuk menghalau tendangan Imad Al Hosni.

Babak pertama berakhir dengan skor kacamata.

Di babak kedua, permainan masih dikuasai Oman. Serangan bertubi-tubi dilancarkan ke arah gawang Markus Horison. Buruknya penyelesaian akhir anak-anak asuh Claude LeRoy membuat gawang Indonesia masih aman.

Indonesia kembali mampu mencuri peluang. Boaz Solossa mampu lolos dari sisi kanan pertahanan Oman. Namun aksinya masih sebatas membahayakan gawang lawan.

Kemudian, tendangan keras yang dilepaskan pemain pengganti Talaohu Abdul Musafri memaksa kiper Oman al Mazroui untuk menepisnya. Bola mutah diambil BP, namun masih bisa kembali ditangkal oleh al Mazroui.

Setelah itu, Oman kembali mengendalikan jalannya laga. Peluang terbaik tuan rumah diperoleh dua belas menit menjelang bubaran. Kemelut di depan gawang Indonesia gagal dimanfaatkan oleh Hasan Rabia. Sundulan Rabia masih melayang di atas gawang Markus.

Menjelang akhir laga, Oman belum mengendurkan serangan. Berkat kedisiplinan barisan pertahanan, 'Tim Merah Putih' mampu menjaga gawang tetap perawan dan memaksakan hasil 0-0 hingga peluit akhir berbunyi.

Di laga selanjutnya, Tim Garuda akan menjamu Australia pada 28 Januari 2009.


Bendol: Satu Poin yang Luar Biasa
Bermain di bawah tekanan hampir sepanjang laga, Indonesia sukses menahan Oman 0-0 dalam laga Kualifikasi Piala Asia 2011. Benny Dollo pun menyebut satu poin yang didapatnya sebagai sesuatu yang luar biasa.

Keberhasilan meraih satu poin tak bisa dilepaskan dari strategi bertahan yang di peragakan Bendol. Sejak menit 19 babak kedua Indonesia bermain dengan lima bek menyusul masuknya Nova Arianto untuk menambah empat defender lainnya seperti Nova Arianto, Ricardo Salampesi, Abdurahman, dan Isnan Ali.

Keputusan tersebut memang berhasil sedikit meredam gempuran tuan rumah, meski di saat bersamaan tak bisa membangun serangan karena fokus bertahan. Meski begitu Bendol mengaku sangat puas atas apa yang dia raih dalam laga yang berlangsung Senin (19/1/2009) malam WIB itu.

"Kami tahu Oman akan sangat kuat. Maka kami mengadaptasi formasi defensif sebagai bagian dari usaha untuk meraih poin dari laga ini," kata Benny Dollo dikutip dari situs asosiasi sepak bola Asia, AFC.

"Poin ini sungguh luar biasa bagi kita karena didapat di kandang lawan. Terlebih, Indonesia bergabung bersama lawan berat di grup ini, dan laga berat lainnya telah menanti," kata eks pelatih Arema Malang itu.

Rapatnya pertahanan Indonesia, ditambah faktor kelelahan, membuat Oman gagal merobek gawang Indonesia. Apalagi Pelatih Claude Le Roy menurunkan pemain yang sama dengan yang berlaga di final Piala Teluk, Sabtu (17/1/2009).

"Kami tampil buruk karena kelalahan melanda pemain pasca berlaga di Piala Teluk. Laga ini sangat penting. Itu sebabnya saya tidak memasukkan terlalu banyak pemain baru karena kami ingin menang," kata Le Roy.

Soal permainan Indonesia? "Indonesia bermain dengan sepuluh orang di pertahanan dan gaya itu sungguh sulit untuk dilawan," ujar pelatih asal Prancis ini.

Gol Tunggal Pato Menangkan Milan
AC Milan berhasil mengalahkan tamunya, Fiorentina, dalam pertandingan yang dihelat di Stadion San Siro, Minggu (18/1/2009) dinihari WIB. Satu-satunya gol dalam laga tersebut diciptakan oleh Alexandre Pato.

Pertandingan antara kedua tim berjalan dalam tempo yang cukup cepat. Milan selaku tuan rumah memang relatif lebih dominan dalam menguasai bola. Tetapi, Fiorentina juga tak mau kalah, mereka beberapa kali berhasil membuat Christian Abbiati jatuh-bangun menyelamatkan gawang.

Akhirnya, pembeda kedua tim dalam pertandingan ini adalah gol Alexandre Pato yang tercipta di awal-awal pertandingan. Gol tersebut sudah cukup untuk membawa Rossoneri meraih tiga angka penuh. Posisi mereka kini tetap berada di urutan tiga klasemen sementara dengan koleksi nilai 37.

Sementara Fiorentina, posisinya masih tetap berada di urutan tujuh. Dari 19 laga yang sudah dimainkan oleh tim asal kota Firenze ini, mereka mengoleksi poin 32.

Jalannya pertandingan

Milan sudah unggul 1-0 ketika pertandingan baru berjalan tujuh menit. Gol ini diawali oleh usaha David Beckham dalam memenangi perebutan bola sebelum akhirnya mengoper bola tersebut kepada Massimo Ambrosini. Nama terakhir lalu mengirim umpan terobosan kepada Alexandre Pato yang langsung menembakkan bola ke arah tiang jauh untuk merobek jala Fiorentina.

Empat menit setelah gol tersebut, Marek Jankulovski memperoleh peluang. Ia melepaskan sebuah tembakan keras dari luar kotak penalti. Sial baginya, sepakannya itu masih bisa ditepis oleh kiper Fiorentina, Marco Storari.

Fiorentina langsung membalasnya pada menit 14. Stevan Jovetic yang berhasil menerobos pertahanan Milan langsung melepaskan sebuah tendangan. Namun, bola masih melebar disamping gawang Christian Abbiati.

La Viola kembali memiliki peluang untuk menyamakan kedudukan di menit 34. Berawal dari sebuah umpan Mario Santana yang berhasil dihalau Paolo Maldini, bola kemudian jatuh di kaki Riccardo Montolivo. Ia kemudian menembakkan bola ke arah gawang, tetapi Abbiati dengan sigap berhasil membloknya.

Satu menit menjelang babak pertama berakhir, Beckham nyaris membuat gol perdananya untuk Milan. Usai menerima bola di area kiri pertahanan Fiorentina, ia menggiring bola sebentar sebelum akhirnya melepaskan tendangan kaki kiri. Tetapi, Storari masih bisa menepis tendangannya itu.

Di babak kedua, Milan belum mengendurkan serangannya. Namun demikian, Fiorentina juga tak mau kalah. Pasukan Cesare Prandelli itu juga beberapa kali berhasil melancarkan tekanan ke gawang Abbiati.

Pada menit 64, Juan Vargas mengirim umpan ke daerah pertahanan Milan. Di sana telah menunggu Santana yang langsung melepaskan tembakan kaki kiri yang cukup keras. Beruntung buat Milan, Abbiati bergerak cepat untuk menepis tembakan tersebut.

Tiga menit berselang, Abbiati kembali memperlihatkan ketangguhannya. Ia berhasil menjinakkan tembakan datar Alberto Gilardino yang dilepaskan di dalam kotak penalti. Gawang Milan kembali selamat.

Setelahnya beberapa peluang sempat diciptakan beberapa tim, namun skor 1-0 tetap tak berubah hingga wasit meniup peluit panjang.

Susunan pemain

AC Milan: Abbiati, Favalli, Maldini, Jankulovski, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Beckham (Senderos 82), Kaka, Pato (Ronaldinho 78), Seedorf (Flamini 69).

Fiorentina: Storari, Kroldrup, Gamberini, Vargas, Comotto, Melo, Montolivo, Kuzmanovic (Bonazzoli 72), Gilardino, Jovetic, Santana (Gobbi 82).

INTER KEOK
Kekalahan yang lama tak dirasakan Inter Milan akhirnya datang juga di pekan ke-19 Seri A. Bertandang ke markas Atalanta, tim bertabur bintang asuhan Jose Mourinho itu menyerah 1-3.

Langkah I Nerazzurri terganjal untuk mengamankan posisinya dalam perebutan gelar Scudetto. Jika dinihari nanti Juventus mampu mengalahkan Lazio, maka Inter hanya unggul satu poin dari rival terdekatnya itu di puncak klasemen sementara.

Gol bagi tuan rumah Atalanta, Minggu (18/1/2009), dicetak oleh Sergio Floccari dan dua gol lainnya diborong oleh Cristiano Doni. Sedangkan satu gol balasan Inter dicetak oleh Zlatan Ibrahimovic di akhir pertandingan. Ini merupakan kekalahan kedua Inter di musim ini setelah yang pertama mereka alami di San Siro pada 28 September 2008 saat ditundukkan AC Milan 0-1.

Jalannya Pertandingan

Atalanta langsung menekan pertahanan Inter. Tak butuh waktu terlalu lama, usaha tuan rumah membuahkan hasil di menit ke-17. Berawal dari umpan panjang ke kotak penalti yang gagal disapu para pemain Inter, Doni mendapatkan bola tersebut dan mengumpankannya kepada Floccari. Dengan tendangan kaki kirinya Floccari berhasil menjebol gawang Julio Cesar.

Unggul 1-0, Atalanta terus menekan. Floccari kembali mengancam, tapi kali itu tembakannya ditahan Cesar dengan dadanya. Satu lagi peluang dimiliki oleh Jaime Valdes namun sepakannya masih melebar.

Pada menit ke-28 tuan rumah berhasil menggandakan keunggulannya. Gol kedua itu dicetak oleh Doni lewat free kick. Tendangan yang dilepaskan playmaker veteran ini sempat membentur pagar betis lawan dan akhirnya masuk ke gawang Inter.

Lima menit kemudian, publik Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia kembali bersorak. Doni untuk kedua kalinya sukses menjebol gawang Inter, kali itu lewat sundulannya ke pojok kanan setelah berhasil memanfaatkan crossing Padoin. Atalanta menang 3-0 hingga turun minum.

Di babak kedua, pelatih Mourinho melakukan pergantian dengan menarik Hernan Crespo dan menggantikannya dengan Adriano.

Inter langsung mencoba menekan dan Adriano mengancam lewat tendangan saltonya, namun bola masih berada di atas mistar gawang.

Atalanta kembali rajin melancarkan serangan. Usaha Di Ascentis di menit ke-55 masih mengenai tiang gawang, sedangkan ancaman Doni masih melebar. Sementara dua kali usaha Adriano juga belum membuahkan hasil setelah yang peluang terakhir melebar.

Inter baru bisa menghasilkan gol di menit akhir. Memanfaatkan bola yang lepas dari Copolla, Ibrahimovic memperkecil kekalahan timnya menjadi 1-3.

Susunan Pemain :

Atalanta: Coppola; Talamonti, Manfredini, Bellini, Garics, Guarente, Valdes (De Ascentis 50), Padoin, Floccari (Vieri 89), Doni, Ferreira Pinto

Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Cordoba, Burdisso, Maxwell (Figo 46); Zanetti, Chivu (Obinna 29), Cambiasso; Stankovic; Ibrahimovic, Crespo (Adriano 46)

JUVE CUMA SERI
Juventus gagal mendekati Inter Milan setelah hanya bermain imbang 1-1 dengan Lazio. Hasil tersebut hanya memperpendek jarak poin mereka dengan Inter menjadi tiga poin

Seyogyanya, Juventus bisa memangkas selisih mereka menjadi satu poin setelah Inter kalah 1-3 dari Atalanta beberapa jam yang lalu. Namun, itu adalah skenario yang bisa dicapai andaikan mereka bisa menundukkan Lazio. Karena hanya meraih hasil imbang, maka Bianconeri pun harus puas jaraknya dengan Inter hanya mengecil menjadi tiga poin.

Dalam laga yang berlangsung di Stadion Olimpico Roma, Senin (19/1/2009) dinihari WIB, Lazio unggul dahulu lewat tendangan bebas Cristian Ledesma di menit ke-25. Olof Mellberg akhirnya menyelamatkan Juventus dari kekalahan di menit ke-30.

Jalannya Pertandingan

Di menit-menit awal pertandingan, Lazio tampil menekan. Peluang pertama Lazio diraih lewat tendangan mendatar Mauro Zarate. Namun, tendangannya masih bisa ditangkap dengan mudah oleh kiper Juve, Alex Manninger. Kiper asal Austria ini kembali menyelamatkan gawang Juve beberapa saat kemudian, kali ini dengan menjinakkan tendangan Christian Ledesma.

Stadion Olimpico bersorak kala laga memasuki menit ke-25. Lazio sukses merobek gawang Juventus lewat tendangan bebas yang dilepas Ledesma dari sisi kiri pertahanan Juve.

Bola lengkung yang dilepas Ledesma tidak mampu dijangkau Manninger yang maju menjemput bola. Bola kemudian mencium tiang gawang, untuk selanjutnya bergulir ke gawang Juve. 1-0 Lazio unggul.

Belum puas dengan keunggulan satu gol, Lazio kembali melancarkan tekanan. Tomasso Rocchi melepaskan tembakan yang harus ditepis oleh Manninger. Bola muntah bergulir ke arah Goran Pandev, namun sepakan pemain asal Macedonia ini masih melambung di atas gawang Juve.

Namun pesta Lazio hanya berumur lima menit. The Old Lady sukses menyamakan skor lewat sundulan kepala Olof Mellberg yang menyambut sepak pojok. Skor 1-1 bertahan hingga turun minum.

Di babak kedua, Juventus langsung mengambil inisiatif serangan. Percobaan pertama dilakukan Mohammad Sissoko. Lewat sebuah solo run, Sissoko kemudian melepaskan tendangan datar dari luar kotak penalti. Bola masih bisa ditangkap oleh Carrizo. Beberapa menit berselang, Carrizo kembali mampu menangkap tendangan yang dilepaskan Marco Marchionni.

Didasari keinginan wajib memenangi pertandingan, Juve terus melancarkan tekanan ke pertahanan Lazio. Peluang paling baik diperoleh lima menit menjelang bubaran. Tendangan keras Nicola Legrottaglie sudah mampu menaklukkan Carrizo, namun tiang
gawang membatalkan usaha Juve menambah skor.

Di masa injury time babak kedua, tuan rumah nyaris berbalik unggul. Umpan Cristian Brocchi dari sisi kiri pertahanan Juve, gagal disambut oleh Foggia.

Skor 1-1 bertahan hingga wasit meniupkan peluit akhir. Tambahan satu poin tidak mengubah posisi kedua klub di klasemen sementara. Dengan poin 40, Juve masih tertinggal 3 poin dari pemegang capolista, Inter Milan. Sedang Lazio yang mengoleksi 31 poin tetap terpaku di posisi tujuh.

Susunan pemain

Lazio: Carrizo; Radu, Rozenhal, Diackite, Lichtsteiner, Ledesma, Meghni (Brocchi 64'), Dabo (De Silvestri 70'), Zarate( Foggia 77'), Rocchi, Pandev.

Juventus: Manninger; Mellberg, Legrottaglie, Ariaudo, Molinaro, Nedved, Zanetti (Marchisio 71'), Sissoko, Marchionni, Del Piero (Giovinco 80'), Amauri

ROMA MENANG!
AS Roma meraih poin penuh saat bertandang ke Turin. Julio Baptista menjadi bintang kemenangan bagi I Giallorosi setelah gol tunggalnya mengatasi Torino di saat injury time.

Pelatih Luciano Spaletti memang pantas berterima kasih kepada Baptista. Pemain asal Brasil ini menjadi penentu kemenangan Roma atas Torino saat bertandang ke Olimpico, Turin, Minggu (18/1/2009).

Kemenangan tersebut sangat penting bagi Roma yang sedang mencoba memperbaiki posisinya dari papan tengah klasemen Seri A. Hasil tersebut mendrongkak posisi Il Lupo tiga strip ke peringkat delapan.

Pada pertandingan tersebut Roma tidak tampil dengan kekuatan penuh. Mereka tanpa Francesco Totti, Alexander Doni, dan Max Tonetto yang cedera, serta Simone Perrotta yang sedang menjalani hukuman.

Namun hal itu tak menghalangi Roma untuk menekan tuan rumah. Pada menit ke-16, kiper Torino Alex Calderoni dipaksa dua kali menyelamatkan gawangnya dan menggagalkan usaha Philippe Mexes dalam sebuah kemelut yang bermula dari sepak pojok.

Giliran Baptista mengancam setelah melakukan kerjasama dengan Matteo Brighi namun digagalkan Calderoni. Sementara usaha Daniele De Rossi masih tipis disamping gawang setelah mencoba memanfaatkan crossing Rodrigo Taddei. Hingga turun minum kedudukan masih tetap kacamata.

Di babak kedua Roma masih terus menekan. De Rossi berhasil menyambut tendangan bebas Pizarro, namun gagal mencapai target.

Pada menit ke-86, Alessandro Rosina melakukan aksi solo run dari sayap kiri. Namun tembakannya hanya mengenai samping gawang. Pertandingan pun sudah masuk menit menit akhir pertandingan.

Meski demikian, peluang masih tetap ada sebelum wasit meniupkan peluit panjang. Baptista membuktikannya dengan mencetak gol indah. Bola crossing Mexes ditahan dengan dada sebelum dia melepaskan tendangan salto ke gawang Torino. Kiper Matteo Sereni tak kuasa menahan, dan gol pun terjadi.

Selain kalah Torino pun menyelesaikan pertandingan dengan 10 pemain. Simone Barone mendapatkan kartu merah karena melakukan protes kepada sang pengadil lapangan.

Susunan Pemain :

Torino: Calderoni; Dellafiore, Di Loreto, Pratali (Colombo 26), Ogbonna; Valiatti (Abate 60), Barone, Saumel, Diana; Stellone, Amoruso (Rosina 57)

Roma: Artur; Cicinho, Mexes, Juan, Riise; Taddei (Aquilani 62), De Rossi, Brighi (Cassetti 80); Pizarro, Menez; Julio Baptista
