INZAGHI AVOIDS PUNISHMENT

Lazio defender Fernando Couto was banned for two matches by the Italian FA as a result of the kick he hurled at Cannavaro's head during the course of last Saturday's Lazio-Inter clash.

Television evidence was used to carry out this sentence as the referee of the match Rosetti hadn't noticed the ugly gesture by the erratic Portuguese international.

Cannavaro, who had responded to Couto's assault with a gesture known in Italy as 'the umbrellla move' avoided punishment, as did Filippo Inzaghi, who intentionally elbowed Jonathan Zebina during Milan-Roma.
