ATALANTA | 2-0 |
BOLOGNA |
Marcolini 24 |
|
|
Makinwa 60 |
|
|
This was a major shock as Bologna hadn't lost
since their controversial defeat against Juventus in mid December and Atalanta are of course absolutely rubbish. Marcolini tapped in Makinwa's deflected cross and Makinwa also scored on a rebound. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : n/a, n/a |

PALERMO | 3-2 |
LECCE |
Santana 43, 45 |
Konan 6, 67 |
|
Toni 75 |
|
|
Konan capitalised on Grosso's slip to give
Lecce a surprise lead. Sicignano made an unbelievable double save - first from Corini's penalty then Toni's follow-up. Vucinic blew two excellent chances for Lecce. Zauli smashed Toni's cut back against Diamoutene then the defender threw himself at the ball as Brienza followed up, it bounced to Santana who was standing on the edge of the box and he curled a shot into the top left corner, fantastic goal. Despite the presence of four defenders Toni ran into the box unchallenged and centred for Santana's second. Konan equalised after Brienza headed a shot off the line. Barone volleyed on a clever back heel and Toni beat Diamoutene to poke in the winner. Attendance : 35,000 Assists : Rullo, n/a, Toni, n/a, Barone |

PARMA | 2-1 |
BRESCIA |
Gilardino 23 (Pen) |
Di Biagio 52 (Pen) |
|
Morfeo 50 | ||
Parma have been playing
some great football in recent weeks and had already created and wasted several chances before Gilardino gave them the lead from the penalty spot. Of course playing with an extra man after a ridiculous red card helped greatly. Collina was the ref by the way, wasn't there a link between Collina and Parma some years ago? Morfeo added a second from long range. Di Biagio reduced the arrears from the penalty spot. Attendance : 12,000 Red Card : Domizzi 5 (Brescia) Assists : Marchionni (won pen), ?, Delvecchio (won pen) |

ROMA | 3-0 |
LIVORNO |
Montella 8 | ||
Perrotta 70 |
|
|
Totti 85 | ||
Totti ran onto a hospital
pass and resisted two chances to go down before rolling the ball to Montella, 1-0. Perrotta smashed in a loose ball and Totti completed an easy victory with a fantastic goal. He was standing on the touchline with his back to play, he turned sharply away from two Livorno players before sprinting towards the box and drilling a low shot past Amelia. Attendance : 45,000 Assists : Totti, n/a, ? |

SAMPDORIA | 3-2 |
REGGINA |
Franceschini 8 (og) |
Colucci 49 |
|
Flachi 45, 70 (Pen) |
Tedesco 88 |
|
Franceschini deflected
Flachi's shot past his own 'keeper. Flachi finished off a superb counter attack on the stroke of half time. Flachi headed a long ball onto Tonetto, Tonetto fired the ball into the box, Kutuzov's run took out a defender and Flachi arrived to smash the ball into the bottom corner. Colucci got Reggina back into the match at the start of the second half with a superb header. Mozart struck the crossbar with a fabulous shot from distance. Having earlier turned down a stone wall penalty for Samp Dondarini awarded one for a dive. Bonazzoli headed on a hail Mary ball into the box and Tedesco volley past Antonioli. Reggina almost snatched an equaliser. Attendance : 21,000 Assists : n/a, Tonetto, Balestri, Gasbarroni (won pen), Bonazzoli |

MESSINA | 0-0 |
JUVENTUS |
This was an ugly match,
not because of the football but because of Farina's irresponsible officiating. The problems started when Camoranesi swung a boot at Zoro. The defender retaliated by grabbed Camoranesi's throat. Rezaei wrestled Ibrahimovic to the ground as he attempted to meet a cross, Ibrahimovic made sure Rezai went down with him, Rezai flicked out a boot at Ibrahimovic's chest. I assume the idiot Farina was watching this because Ibrahimovic immediately appealed to him, nothing. Parisi was booked for a shocking studs to the thigh foul on Camoranesi, the type of challenge that looks worse every time you see it. It's a miracle Camoranesi wasn't seriously injured. Ibrahimovic received a yellow card for giving Zanchi a light headbutt. In between the fighting both teams struck the woodwork. Juve finished stronger but Messina held on. Juve without Nedved are like Milan without Shevchenko - rubbish. With the Champions League resuming it's a hell of a time for both clubs to be playing their worst football of the season. Attendance : 40,000 |
||
MILAN | 1-0 |
CAGLIARI |
Serginho 92 | ||
Shevchenko fractured his
cheekbone when challenging Loria for a cross. He'll be wearing a protective mask when he returns. Big Ben Pancaro, yes that is his nickname (because he's got a big er clock), earned a second yellow card for a foul on Esposito. Having blasted over from the edge of the area from a rebound Rui Costa then headed wide from 2 yards out. Unbelievable miss. In the second minute of injury time Pisano tried to shepard a ball out of play after Cafu's cross was hacked clear, Cafu pushed Pisano to the ground (although Cagliari's coach insists there was no foul, Tombolini was probably making amends for failing to award a penalty for handball) and sent the ball to the back post, Crespo missed, Serginho didn't, connected with a left foot volley and rifled the ball into the top corner. Fabulous shot. Agostini was sent off for his protests. Attendance : 59,185 Red Card : Pancaro 76 (Milan), Agostini 93 (Cagliari) Assist : Cafu |

UDINESE | 1-1 |
INTER |
Goitom 90 |
Veron 58 |
|
Veron received the ball
some distance from goal, ran forward, beat a player then let rip with a stunning shot which flew past De Sanctis. Adriano, who is going through the same slump he had when he arrived at Inter last January, should have put the result beyond doubt but missed an easy header. Goitom, which sounds like an oitment you would use on a rash on your unmentionables, not that I would know anything about that, headed in a last minute equaliser after Inter failed to clear from a corner. Attendance : 25,000 Assists : Cambiasso, Bertotto |
