Di Vaio's hat trick leads Bologna over Torino

Soccer Betting Lines

12/13/2008 - Bologna, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marco Di Vaio scored a hat trick in Bologna's five-goal second half, helping his club move out of the relegation zone with a 5-2 win over Torino on Saturday in Italy's Serie A.

Bologna entered the match next-to-last in the league, but vaulted Leece, Torino and Reggina and moved three points clear of the drop zone.

Di Vaio scored his first goal in the 55th minute, driving a left-footed shot to the middle of the goal from six yards out. He added his second goal in the 63rd to put Bologna up for good, scoring off another left-footed shot.

He completed his hat trick - and the scoring - in the 79th with a penalty kick into the bottom left corner.

Bologna extended its unbeaten streak to six matches but picked up its first win during the stretch. Bologna beat AC Milan in its first game this season but was just 2-8 in its first eight matches, which had the team cemented in the bottom three.

Torino slipped into the bottom three with loss, its third straight and fourth during a five-game winless streak.

Also Saturday, Marek Hamsik, Michele Pazienza and German Denis scored as Napoli beat Lecce 3-0 to move past idle AC Milan and into third place. Napoli is level on points with fourth-place AC Milan and second-place Juventus.

On Sunday, Inter Milan hosts Chievo, Udinese hosts Lazio, Genoa hosts Atalanta, Reggina hosts Sampdoria, Roma hosts Cagliari, Palermo hosts Siena, Fiorentina hosts Catania and Juventus hosts AC Milan.
