Chievo halted a seven-match winless run with a 2-1 triumph at strugglers Carpi on Sunday.

Roberto Inglese headed Valter Birsa's cross into the back of the net for Chievo's opener in the eighth minute before setting up Riccardo Meggiorini to score the visitors' second six minutes later.

An own goal from Chievo defender Alessandro Gamberini in the 61st minute allowed Carpi to halve the deficit but the hosts could not find an equaliser.

It means Carpr have just one win from their opening 13 matches.

The victory was Chievo's first since September 23 and their second on the road this campaign.
