| INTER | 2-0 |
PARMA |
| Figo 68 | ||
| Cambiasso 81 | ||
| In the 68th minute Veron, who had done
nothing up until this point, pounced on Grella as he turned onto a pass and played an instant one-two with substitute Martins then sent Figo clear on the right and he swept the ball into the opposite corner, his first goal for Inter. Bucci collided with one of his defenders as they chased down Adriano, Simplicio's hurried clearance fell to Cambiasso and he killed the ball instantly before lobbing into an empty net. Attendance : 47,651 Assists : Veron, n/a |

| CHIEVO | 1-1 |
ASCOLI |
| Pellissier 14 |
D'Anna 43 (og) |
|
| Zanchetta touched a free kick to Pellissier
and he fired the ball through a gap in the wall past Francis Ford Coppola. D'Anna sliced Comotto's cross past his own 'keeper. Obbina came on with 30 minutes to go but didn't do a great deal nor did Chievo after that point to win the match. Bjelanovic and Fini should have won it for Ascoli, Bjelanovic in particular guilty of a terrible miss. Attendance : 5,000 Assists : Zanchetta, n/a |
||
| FIORENTINA | 3-1 |
MILAN |
| Toni 10, 87 |
Gilardino 25 |
|
| Jorgensen 46 | ||
| Toni punished non existent marking to head
Fiorentina into the lead from a Pasqual free kick. Serginho whipped a ball into the box, Frey froze allowing Gilardino to equalise. Milan finished the first half strongly but it was Fiorentina who struck next due to a rare mistake by Nesta. Pasqual, who is a much better alternative to Gross at left back for Italy, fired a cross into the box, Nesta tried to clear but only succeeded in diverting the ball into Jorgensen's path, 2-1. Milan should have been awarded a penalty for handball and had a goal disallowed for a non existent push. The Milan tried to spring the offside trap on a corner leaving Toni free to head in his 15th goal of the season. Attendance : 44,000 Assists : Pasqual (fk), Serginho, n/a, Pancaro |
||
| LECCE | 3-0 |
SIENA |
| Vucinic 16 | ||
| Konan 53 | ||
| Cozzolino 90 | ||
| Vucinic, who scored 19 goals last season,
finally got off the mark for this term thanks largely to Siena goalkeeper Mirante. Konan tapped in a second after Valdes did a great impression of the Zidane slow motion dribble before chipping the ball into the box. In injury time Cozzolino intercepted on the half way line and waltzed through the Siena defence before rounding the 'keeper and tapped into an empty net. Attendance : Assists : Cassetti, Valdes, n/a |
||
| LIVORNO | 2-0 |
EMPOLI |
| Morrone 31 | ||
| Lucarelli 88 | ||
| Coco got a second bite at playing in a cross
and Morrone caught Berti for straying too far off his near post. Everyone's favourite communist Cristiano Lucarelli, who has a habit of scoring late, beat Berti with a precise shot on the turn. Livorno are fifth. What the hell is that about? Attendance : 15,000 Assists : Coco, Morrone |
||
| REGGINA | 3-1 |
CAGLIARI |
| Amoruso 2 |
Abeijon 67 |
|
| Cozza 38 (Pen) | ||
| Paredes 80 | ||
| Nedo Sonetti, Cagliari's fourth coach this
season, had a dream start when his team conceded after two minutes. Amoruso won a penalty, I haven't seen the incident but it was almost certainly a dive. Abeijon gave Cagliari a glimmer of hope with a superbly placed header but Paredes finished them off with a header. Attendance : 9,000 Red Card : Biondini 87 (Reggina), Gobbi 88 (Cagliari) Assists : Cozza, Amoruso (won pen), Agostini, Cozza |
||
| SAMPDORIA | 2-0 |
LAZIO |
| Diana 72 | ||
| Flachi 73 | ||
| This was a dull affair until mid-way through
the second half. Tare and Behrami wasted great chances to give Lazio the lead before Diana, who should be Italy's right back at the World Cup, crashed a volley in off a post. With the post still vibrating Castellini helped on a header and Flachi found the bottom corner. This could (should) be Italy's back four at the World Cup : LB : Pasqual (allowing Zambrotta to play in midfield) CB : Cannavaro CB : Nesta RB : Diana I'm not sure about Pasqual's chances given at 23 he maybe considered to young but Diana is certain to go as he can also play in midfield so would provide cover for Camoranesi. Italy have great depth in the full back positions with Zambrotta, Pasqual, Diana, Oddo and longer term Chiellini but there isn't good cover in central defence. Attendance : 23,000 Assists : Flachi, Castellini |

| TREVISO | 2-2 |
PALERMO |
| Reginaldo 2, 6 |
Ferri 28 |
|
|
Brienza 69 |
||
| Guardalden was back after a three month
lay-off and his first task was to pick the ball out of the net. Biava tried to hack clear a cross but sliced the ball up in the air and Reginaldo watched it drop over his shoulder before volleying into the bottom corner. Incredibly Biava gave a second, inadvertent assist to Reginaldo when he sliced Dossena's cross to the back post and the 22 year old Brazilian volleyed in his second Serie A goal - in four minutes. Ferri tapped in after Caracciolo, who was still wearing a gimp mask, shot against a post. Barzagli charged down Cottafava's clearance and passed wide to Gonzalez, Gonzalez fired over the 'keeper, who was stuck at his near post, and Brienza slid the ball into the net. Reginaldo was named after Reginald Perrin, the character played by the brilliant Leonard Rossiter in the BBC comedy show The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. Apparently Reginaldo's parents were big fans and this is all a lie. Attendance : 6,400 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a |

| ROMA | 1-4 |
JUVENTUS |
| Totti 64 (Pen) |
Nedved 46 |
|
|
Ibrahimovic 56 |
||
|
Trezeguet 58, 61 |
||
| In first half injury time Camoranesi hit a
high cross into the box and Nedved got above the much taller Panucci and headed into the corner. Ibrahimovic scored a fabulous second on the break. With Roma camped in the Juve box Emerson hit a ball out of defence to Ibrahimovic, who was standing on the half way line with his back to play, he flicked the ball about 30 feet in the air as he turned and shrugged off Kuffour before spring downfield and slamming a shot into the top left corner. Zambrotta, who seems to be getting forward more in recent weeks, whipped in another superb cross straight onto Trezeguet's head and the Frenchman tapped in a second after Thuram miss-hit a shot following good work by Nedved and Ibrahimovic. Paparesta took pity on Roma by awarding a phantom penalty and Thuram a red card. In retaliation for a strong challenge by Nedved in the first half, Totti put his foot on his head after both players were grounded when jumping for a ball. I'm not sure if it's enough to earn a suspension but it should be as clearly Totti still hasn't learned his lesson. Attendance : 70,000 Red Card : Thuram 63 (Juventus) Assists : Camoranesi, Emerson, Zambrotta, Thuram, Montella (won pen) |
