INTER | 0-1 |
MILAN |
Kaka' 74 |
||
One of the poorest Milan
derbies in recent memory. The game started well with an early chance for Rui Costa. Inter took control but nothing of note happened until right at the end of the half. Nesta made a superb clearance as Vieri pulled down Martins' cross, Stankovic touched the ball to the edge of the box and Veron hit a blistering shot which Dida brilliantly parried to safety. Milan did nothing with their marginally superior possession second half possession. The winner came from a set piece. Cordoba leapt above Maldini to head clear a corner. The ball fell to Gattuso who his luck from the edge of the box, his shot took a deflection off Kaka' wrong footing Toldo. Derby killer Serginho picked out Crespo with a great cross but he failed to hit the target. At the other end Cambiasso clever dummied Favalli's centre but Vieri's weak shot wasn't going to trouble Dida. A clever ball from Vieri released Emre on the left but with Martins poised to strike on the back post Costacurta cleared. Inter's 40 match unbeaten run comes to an end. The defending by both teams, particularly Milan, was outstanding. Adriano came off the bench in the second half and did nothing. He's struggled ever since the injury and Real Madrid/Chelsea rumours surfaced. Attendance : 78,347 Assist : Gattuso |

Cagliari's defence, which surprisingly has conceded more goals than bottom of the table Atalanta, came unstuck from a ball down the channel to Makinwa who rode a tackle and shot in off a post. Abeijon put Cagliari back in front with an overhead kick before Marcolini hit an injury time equaliser from the spot. Abeijon was sent off for pushing the ref after he awarded a penalty for handball.

Emerson 50 | ||
Del Piero gave injury hit
Juve the lead with a magnificent back heel from Zalayeta's cross. Emerson headed in a second from a corner. Taddei gave away a penalty when he rugby tackled Emerson in the box. It's a good job Del Piero scored in this match because Ibrahimovic has hit a bit of a slump. Nedved should be released from hospital tomorrow.

Oddo 19 (Pen) | ||
A Filippini 90 |
|
|
Two years ago both teams
were fighting for the championship now they're fighting for Serie A survival. Oddo converted a penalty after Bonera handled in the box. Parma rarely threatened and as they pushed up in search of an equaliser Lazio hit them on the break. Pandev sent Seric clear with a brilliant pass on the turn and he centred for Filippini to tap in. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : n/a, Seric |

PALERMO | 2-0 |
ROMA |
Brienza 54 | ||
Toni 91 | ||
Palermo's direct approach
was always going to give them a better chance on a rain sodden pitch. Brienza tapped in a rebound after Pelizzoli failed to hold from Toni. Barone was sent off for chopping down Panucci. Rosetti should have done everyone a favour and sent off the impostor footballer Panucci instead. Roma had two chances to equalise before Toni killed them off with a far post tap-in after Santana skinned the hopeless Cufre.
