PFDC - Perugia are in 10th place after losing 2-0 to lower ranked Piacenza.There was bad news for Iranian football fans, as Rahman Rezaei was carried off fter only 15 minutes with an injury.

No report has been issued yet on the Seriousness of the injury and no goals were scored until after he left the field.

Sports.com - Piacenza grabbed a vital three points in their efforts to avoid relegation when they overcame Perugia at the Stadio Garilli.

The home side started brightly and Oscar Cordoba in the visitors' goal had to be at his best to deny Carmine Gautieri, Paolo Poggi and Sergio Volpi.

The Colombian international keeper was finally beaten after 31 minutes when Eusebio Di Francesco beat the offside and finished smartly with a fine drive into the far corner.

Perugia made changes at half time in an effort to get back into the game, bringing on Fabian O'Neill who was surprisingly left out of the starting line-up.

Although the visitors dominated the second half, Piacenza always looked dangerous on the break and it came as no real surprise when Dario Hubner doubled the lead with five minutes remaining.

The veteran made the points safe as he went past two defenders and rounded the keeper before side-footing into the net for his 21st goal of the Serie A season.
