Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2006 11:25 pmJuventus picked up their sixth straight Serie B win on Saturday with a 1-0 win at Triestina but Genoa remain top of the table after a 4-3 victory at home to Cesena.
Juventus, demoted to Serie B and given a 17-point penalty by a sports tribunal which was investigating match-fixing allegations, are now on plus two points after Cristiano Zanetti got the winner in Trieste.
Zanetti met a low cross from Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved to drive home impressively from the edge of the area to put Juve ahead in the 33rd minute.
Didier Deschamps's side had to hang on to their advantage though after defender Giorgio Chiellini was dismissed in the 70th minute for a second yellow card.
Triestina wasted several chances to equalise before they were also reduced to 10 men five minutes from the end when Davide Marchini was sent off for a foul on Nedved.
