Inter Milan won its 15th straight game in the Serie A on Sunday, beating Chievo Verona 2-0, and Brazil striker Ronaldo made his debut in AC Milan's win.
The Serie A resumed on Sunday, more than a week after all soccer in Italy was suspended for fan violence.
Adriano put Inter ahead in the first minute with a strike from the left edge of the penalty box and Hernan Crespo added the second in the 51st.

The game at Marc Antonio Bentegodi stadium was one of four Serie A matches played behind closed doors for failing to meet new security standards, which were approved by the government after the death of a policeman in rioting at the match between Catania and Palermo on Feb. 2.
The safety requirements include having closed circuit TV cameras and turnstiles at the entrances.
"Playing like that without the public is senseless," Inter coach Roberto Mancini said. "It would be better to assign the championship to whoever is first and restart when things are sorted out."

Ronaldo, wearing No. 99, replaced Oliveira in the 63rd minute for his first appearance for Milan since joining from Real Madrid last week. Milan beat Livorno 2-1.
Inter leads the league with 60 points, 11 more than second-place AS Roma, which beat relegation-threatened Parma 3-0. Palermo, which lost to fourth-place Empoli 1-0, is third with 42 points.
Inter's result at Chievo tied the European record for consecutive victories held by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Madrid won 15 in La Liga in the 1960-1961 season and Bayern won its last nine Bundesliga games of 2004-2005 and its first six of 2005-2006.
"Today's game could have presented a few problems because of the break," Mancini said. "Adriano did very well to score a nice goal in the first minute ... although we found it a bit hard in the first half. However, after the second goal, everything was easier.
At San Siro, which was open to Rossoneri season ticket holders only, Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso scored in the 29th from close range for Milan's first goal. But Livorno captain Cristiano Lucarelli equalized two minutes later, after three excellent saves by goalkeeper Marco Storari, who also made his Rossoneri debut.
Left back Marek Jankulowski scored the winner with a hard drive, five minutes after the 30-year-old Ronaldo entered the game.
Ronaldo looked lively and had three goal attempts in the final 10 minutes. The first was saved by Livorno goalkeeper Marco Amelia and the other two were off target.
"It wasn't easy to arrive and play straight away," Ronaldo said. "But it went very well today and I felt good."
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Forget Real Madrid, Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, the world’s best soccer team — statistically speaking — might be a little-known outfit from the closed central Asian nation of Turkmenistan. Founded last year, Arkadag, named in honor of former Turkmen president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, have been unstoppable, notching up 36 consecutive domestic victories in a run still ongoing. The side have not lost a single competitive match and swept to a league and cup double in their inaugural season — success unthinkable almost anywhere else. However, in Turkmenistan, it could hardly have gone any other way. The energy-rich country is one of the most closed
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
Taiwan’s Lee Jhe-huei and Yang Po-hsuan on Saturday won the men’s doubles bronze medal at the Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, China, after they were bested by the hosts in their semi-final. The Taiwanese shuttlers lost to China’s Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang, who advanced to yesterday’s final against Malaysia’s Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzudin. The Chinese pair outplayed Lee and Yang in straight games. Although the Taiwanese got off to a slow start in the first game, they eventually tied it 14-14, before Liang and Wang went on to blow past them to win 21-17. In the second game, Lee and
