( CNN ) -- Dutch international Wesley Sneijder scored twice as Inter Milan continued their renaissance in Serie A by beating Udinese 3-1 , keeping alive the Italian side 's chances of European Champions League qualification . Sneijder 's brace turned Wednesday 's match after Udinese had taken an early lead through Danilo , then midfielder Ricardo Alvarez scored at the end of the first half to all but seal the win for Inter . The result means that the Nerazzurri have been undefeated -- winning three matches and drawing two -- since youth team coach Andrea Stramaccioni replaced Claudio Ranieri earlier this month . Champions League football was but a distant dream for Inter , but 11 points from a possible 15 has left the 2010 European title winners sixth in the table -- just three points off third-placed Lazio , who surprisingly lost 2-1 to relegation-threatened Novara earlier in the day . The unusually timed round of matches took place Wednesday afternoon , a rescheduling of the games canceled as a mark of respect for Livorno 's Piermario Morosini , who collapsed and died during a second division game at Pescara . Unbeaten Juventus remained three points clear of defending champions with four matches to play after both teams won narrowly against lowly opposition . Juve , seeking a first Serie A title since 2003 and 28th overall , condemned bottom club Cesena to division two next season thanks to a late goal from striker Marco Borriello -- his first since joining on loan from Roma in January . Borriello 's goal came with 11 minutes to play -- and Kevin Prince-Boateng 's winner for Milan came even later at home to fourth-bottom Genoa . Napoli , also chasing a Champions League spot , beat Lecce 2-0 to move up to fourth above Udinese -- who will be Sunday 's opponents . Roma lost again , this time 2-1 at home to Fiorentina to be two points behind Inter . In the day 's two other games Siena drew 1-1 with Bologna while Parma won 2-1 away at Palermo .
