Serie A strugglers Catania and Fiorentina shared the spoils in Sicily tonight after a hard-fought but ultimately uneventful 0-0 draw.
Not even the long-awaited return of Adrian Mutu from a doping ban was enough to spark a dull match into life, and the resultant 0-0 draw means that both sides remain mired in the bottom half of the league table.
The home side started brightest and Catania captain and set-piece specialist Giuseppe Mascara struck the woodwork with a sublime free-kick as the Sicilians put down an early marker.
Mutu is class
Mutu needs to play out of his skin for Fiorentina now after spending almost a year out.
