Friendly: Adri brings down Bari
Sunday 27 July, 2008

Adriano and Julio Cruz found the net as Inter beat Bari in a 2-0 victory, but Il Jardinero suffered an injury.

Jose Mourinho experimented a new trident attack with Luis Figo supporting Cruz and Mario Balotelli in the Sud Tirol Cup.

The teenager’s free kick found Cruz to nod in from close range after 27 minutes and give Inter the lead.

However, he went off soon after with a suspected calf strain that puts his participation in Tuesday’s Trofeo TIM tournament against Milan and Juventus in doubt.

Adriano partnered Hernan Crespo in the second half along with former Roma man Amantino Mancini.

L’Imperatore was in good form and, when Mancini was felled by Masiello, converted a powerful penalty.

It was Adriano’s first goal since returning to the club from his six-month loan spell at San Paolo.

Captain Javier Zanetti was not present, as his wife Paula gave birth to son Ignacio last night.

Inter: Toldo (Julio Cesar 46) (Orlandoni 80); Maicon (Santon 46), Mei, Burdisso, Bolzoni; Jimenez (Maxwell 46), Dacourt (Cambiasso 46), Pele (Vieira 46); Figo (Mancini 46), Cruz (Adriano 46), Balotelli (Crespo 46) (Suazo 78)
