Of the 4 Italian teams that have played so far in the European Cup
games, all have qualified for the next round. Parma an Torino will
play their second leg matches tomorrow (Thursday). Here are the
results of the games featuring Italian teams played yesterday and
today.


			  Champion's Cup
		     First Round - Second Leg

Played Wednesday, September 30, 1992:

Olimpia Lubiana (Slovenia)	0	AC Milan (Italy)		3
					   Massaro  '30
					   Rijkaard '36(?) (2nd)
					   Tassotti '39 (2nd)

(Milan win on aggregate 7-0)

A formality for the "rossonneri" after their 4-0 win at home. According
to game reports Milan had about 20 good scoring chances, but did not
really press their opponent, as qualification was practically
guaranteed. The home team was not without its chances, though, as
a few plays required great saves from the Milan goalkeeper Rossi.



			     UEFA Cup
		     First Round - Second Leg

Played Tuesday, September 29, 1992:

Anorthosis Famagosta (Cyprus)	0	Juventus (Italy)		4
					   Ravanelli '4
					   Kohler    '39
					   Casiraghi '20 (2nd)
					   Casiraghi '41 (2nd)

(Juventus win on aggregate 10-1)

Another team whose qualification was not really in doubt after the 6-1
first leg score was Juventus, who went on the board early in the
match, thanks to a goal by Ravanelli, who had played a good game. Trapattoni
left Baggio, Vialli, and Moeller out of the match in order to have them
well rested for Sunday's away match against Napoli.


Played Wednesday, September 30, 1992:

Napoli (Italy)			1	Valencia (Spain)		0
   Fonseca '7

(Napoli win on aggregate 6-1)

Fonseca scores his 6th goal against the Spanish team in a match which
was frankly quite boring. There were few runs by both teams towards
the other's net with Napoli, for the most part, controlling the match.
Fonseca was substituted in the second half by Zola who had a good scoring
chance, with a shot that went off the crossbar.


Roma (Italy)			1	Wacker Innsbruck (Austria)	0
   Haessler 

(Roma win on aggregate 5-1)

Haessler plays his first match in the last few weeks after being out
due to a knee injury, and celebrates his return with a goal, which
added to the secure 4-1 first leg score. The german scored a nice goal
on a free kick taken about 25 meters from the Wacker net.


For the Italian teams, so far so good. Tomorrow may be another
story though as Parma takes what seems to be a very slim 1-0
first leg victory away to Budapest and Torino will try to overturn
their 1-0 away loss. More news on these games tomorrow...
