CAGLIARI | 1-1 |
LAZIO |
Esposito 70 |
Siviglia 92 |
|
Everyone's favourite fascist Paolo Di Canio
was back in the starting line-up and missed two great first half chances. Cagliari were killing Lazio with their pace but had to wait until the second half before taking the lead. Budel chipped a ball over the top of the Lazio defence and Esposito blasted the ball into the bottom corner. Deep into injury time Oddo struck an amazing free kick from 35 yards out wide right, the ball sailed over the Cagliari defence and dipped right onto Bazzani's head and Siviglia nodded his flick on past Iezzo. Attendance : 14,000 Assists : Budel, Bazzani |

FIORENTINA | 1-1 |
MESSINA |
Dainelli 60 |
Di Napoli 95 |
|
Dainelli headed Fiorentina into a deserved
lead from Miccoli's free kick. Miccoli was substituted shortly after hitting the crossbar. Fantini, who replaced him, was partly to blame for the late equaliser when he failed to get tight on Di Napoli as he latched onto a knockdown before shooting past Cejas who inexplicably found himself back in goal. Attendance : 28,000 Red Cards : Maggio 90 (Fiorentina), Zoro 94 (Messina) Assists : Miccoli (fk), Rafael |

JUVENTUS | 0-1 |
INTER |
Cruz 24 |
||
Ibrahimovic was really fired up for this one.
He left Cordoba needing a bandage after an early clash of heads when jumping for a ball then nutted Mihajlovic when both players were face to face on the turf following a tussle. From a Nedved corner Emerson saw his header cannon back off the underside of the crossbar. Cruz jumped above Cannavaro to meet Ze Maria's free kick, Buffon dived and seemed to forget to catch the ball. Terrible mistake. I've been saying for two years he makes bad mistakes and people still think I make this things up. At the other end Inter's much maligned goalkeeper punched away Birindelli's free kick. Cruz wasted Inter's only other chance with a poor attempt at a lob on a counter attack. Ibrahimovic struck the outside of a post with a magnificent, curling left foot half volley. It would have been goal of the season. He had another brilliant effort saved by Toldo then appeared to floor Cordoba in an off the ball incident although it looked like a dive. Inter survived half a dozen or so desperate penalty appeals as Juve ran out of ideas. Attendance : 25,000 Assist : Ze Maria (fk) |

LECCE | 1-1 |
BOLOGNA |
Giacomazzi 20 |
Bellucci 42 |
|
Vucinic received the ball with his back to
goal but the Bologna defence were distracted by Konan, who was standing miles offside, as they appealed Vucinic floated a cross to the back post and Giacomazzi hammered a right foot volley past Pagliuca. From a free kick Cassetti hammered the ball through the wall but Pagliuca made a brilliant save. As is typical with Lecce their offside trap once again proved to be their downfall and also proves Zednek Zeman is a big, big idiot. Four players were standing in and around the penalty area when a clearance was sliced back into their box. Two of them ran out trying to play Bellucci offside, their hands went up, the linesman's flag didn't, 1-1. Eremenko was booked for diving after Torrisi tripped him in the box. Attendance : 10,984 Assists : Vucinic, n/a |

Terlizzi 14 |
Wome 17 |
|
Toni 49 (Pen), 79 |
Di Biagio 21 (Pen) |
|
Caracciolo 85 |
||
Terlizzi headed Palermo in front from
Corini's free kick. Wome followed up his superb goal against Milan with an even better effort, a sensational 30 yard free kick with crashed into the top corner. Biava pulled down Zambrella to concede a penalty. For the second game in a row Di Biagio had to re-take the sport kick for encroachment and he only just scored, via a deflection off Guardalben. I don't believe Di Biagio has missed a penalty since the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals. Brienza conned Rosetti into awarding Dallamano a second yellow with an excellent dive, on first viewing given the way he fell I was convinced it was a foul. However the next passage of play would have convinced Brescia Rosetti was doing his best to screw them. As Stankevicius ran forward to take a pass out of defence Rosetti body checked him, Corini took possession then swung the ball into the box, Toni dived, penalty. Toni converted. Guardalben made an excellent, point blank save from Stankevicius. Terlizzi was sent off for bringing down Serie A's only Lithuanian international (they'll be a flood of them next season). Toni headed Palermo into the lead but Brescia's own giant won them a point on a counter attack when he stayed onside to tap in Martinez's center. Attendance : 33,000 Red Cards : Dallamano 26 (Brescia), Terlizzi 69 (Palermo) Assists : Corini (fk), Milaneto (fk), Zambrella (won pen), Toni (won pen), Zauli, Martinez |

PARMA | 1-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
Gilardino 39 |
Gasbarroni 35 |
|
It was absolutely pissing down. Pisanu played
a one-two with Kutuzov before stepping away from Cordoba and centring into the box, Gasbarroni arrived to poke past Frey. Gilardinho didn't make the best of connections with Simplicio's free kick but his header was perfectly placed. Attendance : 14,170 Assists : Pisanu, Simplicio (fk) |

ROMA | 0-2 |
SIENA |
Maccarone 60 |
||
Chiesa 87 |
||
Roma were in total control but failed to take
their chances. Alberto ran from the half way line, turned inside Chivu, sending him crashing to the ground and centred for Maccarone to tap in. Chiesa finished brilliantly from Maccarone's pass. Totti was booked for trying to kick Tudor, Tudor should have been sent off for first pushing Totti back then slapping his face. Totti's second yellow card was for an apparent punch on Colonnese. It looked like a clear dive. Attendance : 40,000 Red Card : Totti 69 (Roma) Assists : Alberto, Maccarone |

UDINESE | 1-1 |
LIVORNO |
Mauri 8 |
C Lucarelli 86 |
|
|
||
A one touch passing moved
ended with Mauri giving Udinese an early lead. Di Michele slipped a pass through to Jankulovski and his centre was stabbed into the net by Mauri. Vigiani chipped the ball into the box and Lucarelli bravely jumped for it as De Sanctis flew out of his box with his first aimed at the strikers header, he missed, 1-1. Attendance : 14,000 Assists : Jankulovski, Vigiani |
