CAGLIARI | 1-1 |
JUVENTUS |
Zola 89 |
Emerson 54 |
|
|
||
The odds were against Cagliari as Arrigoni
decided to field Patrick Swayze instead of Langella. Swayze is dumber than a box of rocks and wasted Cagliari's only first half chance with a typically poor finish. Not surprisingly there was controversy over Juve's goal. Trezeguet was clear offside when he helped on Nedved's pass, Nedved took the return, ran to the by-line and floated the ball to the back post for Emerson to head in. Langella replaced Swayze and was denied an equaliser by Buffon. Appiah, on as a substitute for Mr Average Blasi, blew three chances to clear a ball deep in his defence, Brambilla fired a cross into the box and tiny Zola leapt above Zebina to head past Buffon. Attendance : 25,000 Assists : Nedved, Brambilla |

ATALANTA | 1-1 |
SIENA |
Sinigaglia 20 |
Chiesa 43 |
|
|
||
Two excellent goals in a match between
struggling teams. The Siena defence failed to pick up Sinigaglia and he met Bellini's cross on the volley, sending the ball into the top corner. Chiesa latched onto Innocenti's slack clearance and rifled the ball into the bottom corner. Attendance : 12,000 Assists : Bellini, n/a |

CHIEVO | 2-2 |
ROMA |
Pellissier 15 |
Montella 34, 52 |
|
Tiribocchi 20 | ||
|
||
Samuel may be struggling at Real Madrid but
without him Roma are pathetic. They were caught out by a longball from Baronio, leaving Pellissier time to pull down the ball and shoot past Pelizzoli. 5 minutes later the Roma defence ball watched as Tiribocchi nonchalantly pulled down the Frenchman's cross and shot into the corner. Cassano, Aquilani and Totti combined for Montella's first and the little aeroplane equalised with a fantastic overhead kick. Attendance : 9,523 Assists : Baronio, Pellissier, Totti (x2) |
||
LAZIO | 1-3 |
PALERMO |
Bazzani 16 |
Toni 41, 89 |
|
Zauli 66 |
||
Bazzani marked his Lazio debut with a goal.
Liverani, who has been excellent in recent weeks, floated a ball into the box, Guardalben rushed off line and Bazzani headed into an empty net. Lazio were punished for failing to take any of their numerous chances. Toni headed in the equaliser from Corini's free kick and Zauli hit a stunning second on the turn after Lazio failed to clear a cross. Santana laid on a second for Toni. Attendance : 35,000 Assists : Liverani, Corini (fk), n/a, Santana |

LIVORNO | 3-1 |
MESSINA |
Vigiani 54 |
Giampa 78 |
|
Colombo 58 | ||
Protti 75 | ||
This was the Serie A debut for Roberto
Donadoni, who had brief spells in charge of Lecco in Serie C and Livorno and Genoa in Serie B. Vigiani shot Livorno into the lead with a stunning long range strike. Colombo punished slack defending from a free kick to equalise. Protti scored a third on the break. Giampa, who needed 200 stitches after tearing a massive hole in his thigh in a horrible accident a few months ago, fired in a late consolation goal. Attendance : 16,000 Assists : Vargas, C Lucarelli, Passoni, n/a |
||
MILAN | 3-1 |
UDINESE |
Shevchenko 30 |
Di Natale 8 |
|
Jankulovski 53 (og) | ||
Kaka' 89 | ||
Udinese took the lead against the run of play
thanks to an amazing goal. Iaquinta held off Stam to lay on a pass to Di Natale, he flicked the ball up, turned and smashed a half volley into the top corner. Milan created and wasted chances almost at will with Seedorf, Crespo and Kaka' guilty of poor finishing. Crespo inadvertently helped on Kaka's cross leaving Shevchenko with a tap-in at the back post. Jankulovski, who may or may not be joining Milan next season, headed Seedorf's cross into his own net. With Udinese forced forward Milan were tearing them apart on the break. Kaka' wrapped up the points when he took the ball off Shevchenko, dribbled past two players and did what he had failed to do all match i.e. find the back of the net. Attendance : 62,417 Assists : Iaquinta, Crespo, n/a, Shevchenko |
||
PARMA | 2-1 |
LECCE |
Bresciano 53 |
Vucinic 82 |
|
Gilardino 96 | ||
Had Gilardino not dived
twice when clear through on goal Parma would have been out of site in the first half. He was successful in winning a penalty with his second dive but Sicignano made a fantastic save. Parma were another penalty for handball. Morfeo converted but Palanca made him retake it for encroachment and this time he blazed over the bar. Bresciano took Marchionni's cross on his chest before turning and shooting into the corner. Vucinic equalised with a superb header but in the SIXTH minute of injury time Gilardino pounced after Lecce failed to clear a corner. It's only a matter of time before Zeman is sacked. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : Marchionni, Giacomazzi, n/a |

BRESCIA | 1-1 |
FIORENTINA |
Dipasquale 62 |
Miccoli 49 |
|
Miccoli intercepted a pass, played a one two
with Fantini in midfield, made Di Biagio look every bit of his 36 years when he flew past him, sent Castelazzi crashing to the ground with a dummy and chipped the ball into the net. Fiorentina pissed away the points following a defensive mix-up. Attendance : 7,000 Assists : Fantini, n/a |
