Two first-half goals from Sulley Muntari and Wesley Sneijder gave Inter Milan a 2-1 home victory over Catania in the Serie A on Saturday. Ghanaian international midfielder Muntari opened the scoring after 13 minutes when his cross-come-shot deceived Catania keeper Andrea Campagnolo. Dutch playmaker Sneijder added the second in the 32nd minute with a superb curling free-kick. He was replaced with Serbian midfielder Dejan Stankovic in the 73rd minute after seemingly picking up an injury. Catania's Giuseppe Mascara pulled one back when he converted a penalty with six minutes remaining but Inter held onto their lead to claim their third successive win. The Nerazzurri, who eye a fifth consecutive Serie A triumph, are on top of the table with 22 points, two ahead of second-placed Sampdoria who crushed Bologna 4-1 earlier in the day.
