ROME (Sep 23, 1998 - 16:02 EDT) - Uruguayan strikers Daniel Fonseca and Marcelo Zalayeta each scored twice as Juventus beat Serie B side Ravenna 4-0 to ease into the third round of the Italian Cup before just 583 paying spectators on Wednesday.

It was the smallest attendance recorded for a Juventus match at the club's 70,000-capacity Delle Alpi stadium.

Fonseca scored either side of halftime and Zalayeta completed the 6-0 aggregate rout with close range goals in the final 20 minutes.

Vincenza, cup winners in 1997, beat Brescia 3-0 to complete a 5-3 aggregate win after Brescia had three men sent off and their coach dismissed for dissent -- all before halftime.

Midfielder Marco Barollo was sent off after 20 minutes for lashing out at an opponent and striker Dario Hubner followed him on 44 minutes for dangerous play.

Coach Silvio Baldini was banished to the stands a minute later and Polish midfielder Marek Kosminski was dismissed just before the interval for a second bookable offence.

Vincenza, 1-0 up at halftime, had few problems adding to their lead in a one-sided second half.

AC Milan were tackling a 2-0 first leg deficit against Torino later on Wednesday while Lazio, Parma and Fiorentina were also in action against Serie B and C sides.
