12 September 2004 SAMPDORIA 0-1 LAZIO Di Canio 29 (Pen) Attendance : 25,000 Red Card : Antonioli 27 Assist : Inzaghi (won pen) ATALANTA 2-2 LECCE Pazzini 2 Giacomazzi 9 Albertini 52 Bojinov 76 Three of the best players in CM0304 played in this match, 2 of them scored. Pazzini chested down a superb cross from Albertini before volleying past Sicignano. Taibi went walkabout on a cross allowing Giacomazzi to head Lecce level. Albertini restored Atalanta's lead when he drilled Bernardini's lay off from a free kick through the wall. Pazzini should have scored a second but after Sicignano charged down his shot he blasted the ball against a defender on the line. The Atalanta defence screwed up offside allowing Bojinov to equalise. Bernardini hammered a shot against the bar and Pazzini wasted a clear run on goal. The other CM0304 star, Montolivo had a quiet game. He goes on to become the best player the World has ever seen, at least he did in my game. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : Albertini, Della Bona, Bernardini (fk), Pinardi BRESCIA 0-3 JUVENTUS Nedved 35 Trezeguet 38 Ibrahimovic 69 Nedved scored a rare headed goal from Del Piero's corner and helped make the second three minutes later after Brescia again failed to clear, he passed out wide to the unmarked Zebina and his centre was tapped in first time by Trezeguet. Ibrahimovic replaced Trezeguet and Olivera, who has been at the club for 3 years and only played twice, came on for Del Piero. Both combined for the third. Olivera hit a first time pass into Ibrahimovic who, with his back to goal, turned and was forced wide by two defenders before he stopped suddenly, changed direction, ran through the defenders and hit a weak shot which Castelazzi let roll under his body. Attendance : 20,000 Assists : Del Piero (ck), Zebina, Olivera CAGLIARI 1-0 BOLOGNA Esposito 19 Zola took 19 minutes to make his mark on his Serie A return, his perfectly weighted pass was slammed home by Esposito. Pagliuca had an excellent match, saving twice from Abeijon then from Esposito. Bologna won an extremely soft penalty but Giunti shot wide of the post.

Cassano took a dive outside the box and failed to win a free kick. Chiellini called him a diving twat, which according to Babel fish is 'Twat di diving' in Italian, Cassano pushed him in the face, red card. Portillo almost marked his Serie A debut with a goal, his shot was deflected wide by Mexes. Montella, on as a second half substitute for Candela, latched onto De Rossi's terrific long ball and lobbed over Lupatelli. Totti was booked for diving, hey it beats spitting at players.

Chievo equalised shortly after Vieri blew a chance to increase Inter's lead. Inter's defence then gifted Chievo two goals, Semioli helped Lanna's deep cross into the net with his arm and Veron of all people had to track back because his defenders were nowhere, he failed to spot the run of Pellissier and the Frenchman calmly poked the ball past Toldo. Adriano levelled early in the second half, ripping Vieri's lay-off into the bottom corner. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : n/a, Lanna, Franceschini, Vieri MILAN 2-2 LIVORNO Seedorf 3, 47 Lucarelli 9 (Pen), 67 (fk) Seedorf set the champions on their way to what should have been a comfortable victory when he latched onto a sloppy clearance and broke two tackles in the box before finding the bottom corner. Shevchenko just failed to connect with crosses by Tomasson and Cafu. Milan were caught out by a ball over the top, as Vigiani tried to go past Dida, the 'keeper clipped his leg, dive and despite Stam covering, red card. Lucarelli beat Abbiati with ease. Both teams struck the woodwork. Amelia made a brilliant save from Rui Costa late in the half. Seedorf restored Milan's lead after combining with Kaka' and finishing brilliantly. The goal inspired the minnows and Abbiati was forced into making several excellent saves before doing a David James on Lucarelli's free kick. Lucarelli then had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside and Amelia continued to drop everything but Milan couldn't capitalise. Attendance : 69.453 Assists : n/a, Vigiani (won pen), Kaka', Lucarelli (won fk) Red Cards : Dida 7 (Milan), Balleri 95 (Livorno) |
