Soccer-Gilardino goal spurs Palermo to vital 2-0 win at Frosinone

April 24 (Reuters) - Palermo won 2-0 at Frosinone in a crucial relegation tussle on Sunday to move above their fellow strugglers in the battle to avoid the drop. Veteran striker Alberto Gilardino scored with a header after 56 minutes and midfielder Aleksandar Trajkovski doubled the lead in stoppage time to move Palermo up to 18th and level on 32 points with Carpi. Carpi, who are one place above the relegation zone, host Empoli on Monday. Frosinone are 19th on 30 points. Bottom team Verona, who are a long way adrift with 22 points, play AC Milan on Monday and need a win to keep alive their slim survival hopes. Sassuolo won 3-1 at Torino to retain seventh place and move within one point of Milan, who occupy the last of the European qualifying berths. Ten-man Atalanta, who had Argentine forward Alejandro Gomez sent off 15 minutes from fulltime, beat Chievo Verona 1-0 at home in Bergamo with a 55th-minute goal by Marco Borriello. There were also home wins for Bologna, who beat Genoa 2-0, and Sampdoria, who dented Lazio's European ambitions with a 2-1 victory. At the top of the table, leaders Juventus visit Fiorentina, looking to open a 12-point advantage over second-placed Napoli, who meet AS Roma in the capital on Monday.
