Soccer-Inter go ten points clear with record ninth victory

MILAN, Dec 17 - Inter Milan moved ten points clear
at the top of Serie A after goals from Marco Materazzi and
Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave them a 2-0 victory over Messina on
Sunday, setting a club record with a ninth straight win.

Inter lead on 42 points with AS Roma, who face Palermo later
on Sunday, on 32.

Italy defender Materazzi fired Inter in front in spectacular
fashion in the 49th minute with an acrobatic overhead kick.

Swedish striker Ibrahimovic wrapped up the victory ten
minutes later when he finished coolly after a superb run down
the flank from Maicon.

The ninth consecutive Serie A victory breaks the club record
that had lasted since the 1939-40 season.
