Roma's new coach Bruno
Conti played in midfield alongside Ancelotti in Roma's championship winning side of 1982-1983. The pair used to room together, prompting Ancelotti to remark "I said goodnight to him more times than I have to my own wife." The one positive to come out of this match for Roma was the performance of 19 year old goalkeeper Gianluca Curci. He made an excellent early save from Kaka' as he met a Pirlo free kick on the volley. In the second half Seedorf hit a longball towards Crespo, he flicked it up with his right and struck a volley with his left but Curci was quick off his line and managed to block. Cafu should have been sent off for an appalling two footed lunge on Cufre which left the defender with his shin ripped open. He only got a yellow card. Crespo put the champions in front 12 minutes later, jumping above Panucci to head in Kaladze's cross. Curci denied Kaka' what would have been a superb goal with another stunning save. Kaka' ran onto Kaladze's back heel but shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Panucci was sent off for punching away Crespo's goal bound header, Pirlo put the resulting penalty straight down the middle. Totti was sent off for kicking Ambrosini and then, surprisingly, didn't complain but shook hands with the ref (Paparesta) before leaving the pitch. Attendance : 60,000 Red Cards : Panucci 70 (Roma), Totti 90 (Roma) Assists : Kaladze, n/a |

Maresca rolled the ball wide to Miccoli, he hit a high first time pass to the back post, Chiellini headed down and Pazzini connected with an overhead kick. Odobo was booked for feigning injury after Veron kicked the ball against his right leg. Veron restored Inter's lead with a cracking shot from the edge of the box. Cordoba scored twice in two minutes, the first a header from a Mihajlovic corner and at the other end he couldn't get out of the way after Nakata fired the ball across the face of goal.

Protti 38 |
Abeijon 92 |
|
Despite having his back to play and being
surrounded by three players Lucarelli pulled down a cross from Vigiani, turned and hit a stunning shot past Iezzo. Less than a minute later Iezzo was picking the ball out of his net again as Protti latched onto a hospital pass and hammered a shot into the corner. Swayze gave Cagliari a lifeline with what was by his standards a well placed shot. Galante was sent off for clearing the ball off his line, Swayze lashed the ball into the top corner. Lucarelli looked to have given ten man Livorno the points with another excellent goal. Once again he held off three defenders before curling into the corner. Bianchi flicked on a longball and Abeijon controlled with his left before finding the corner with his right. Attendance : 17,000 Red Card : Galante 47 (Livorno) Assist : Vigiani, n/a, Alvarez, n/a, Ruotolo?, Bianchi |

deflected Brienza's shot past his own 'keeper than brought down Toni in the box after Morfeo had equalised. Brienza played a one-two with Toni on the edge of the box and despite a poor first touch managed to beat Frey with a high shot. Biava's handball right in full view of the referee allowed Gilardino to reduced the arrears from the spot and he grabbed a last minute equaliser after Ruopolo headed against the crossbar.

Volpi headed Bellini's
cross straight to the back post leaving Makinwa with an absolute gift. Samp were awarded a penalty for handball but Calderoni saved brilliantly with his feet. Doni equalised against his former club with a fantastic free kick. Both teams created and missed half a dozen chances before Natali headed in Bernardini's free kick. Atalanta kept going forward and should have won comfortably. Fantastic result and a fantastic performance but they're still 6 points from safety.
