INTER | 3-2 |
MILAN |
Adriano 23 (Pen), 91 |
Shevchenko 38 (Pen) |
|
Martins 59 |
Stam 83 |
|
The two penalties were complete bullshit.
Martins resorted Inter's lead after Dida made a complete mess of Adriano's free kick. Kaka', who was outstanding, almost struck a quick equaliser but his deflected shot came back off a post and Shevchenko wasted the rebound. Stam rose phenomenally high to head Milan back level from a Pirlo free kick. Adriano looked to have wasted a great chance to score the winner. Kaladze failed to deal with a long ball forward and as Dida came off his line Adriano shot wide. However, he made amends by jumping between Kaka' and Shevchenko (the defence were nowhere, again) to head in the winner. This will be the last Milan derby the referee, Messina, will officiate. He was almost as inept as the Milan defence. Both Kaladze and Gilardino were busted open by elbows from Martins and Samuel respectively. Inter's first derby victory since 2001. Expect Milan to sign at least one defender (they need three) who isn't cup tied in Europe. A draw would have been a fair result but Inter have waited long enough. Attendance : 76,146 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, Pirlo (fk), Veron (ck) |

ROMA | 1-2 |
PALERMO |
Cassano 36 |
Biava 21 |
|
Caracciolo 78 |
||
Roma played some great football but it was
Palermo who took the lead when Biava headed in a corner. Chivu took a rubbish free kick, hitting the ball straight into the wall before it was cleared, Perrotta sent it back, Panucci headed on and Cassano equalised while Palermo screwed up offside. Roma returned the favour as Gonzalez fired in a low cross, Caracciolo was probably offside but only just. Attendance : 35,000 Assists : Corini (ck), Panucci, Gonzalez |

ASCOLI | 1-1 |
REGGINA |
Fini 60 |
Paredes 88 |
|
Playing conditions were terrible in this
match, the pitch was badly cut-up due to heavy rain. Fini capitalised on a slip by a defender to poke Foggia's centre past Pavarini. Comotto should have been sent off for a blatant handball, which was more of a volleyball spike. To make matters worse Coppola pulled off a FANTASTIC save to deny Cozza from the penalty spot. The ref managed to disallow an Ascoli own goal and Coppola made another brilliant save before Paredes scored a deserved equaliser following a goalmouth scramble. Attendance : 9,500 Assists : Foggia, n/a |

JUVENTUS | 4-0 |
CAGLIARI |
Nedved 10 | ||
Trezeguet 18, 53 | ||
Vignati 68 og | ||
Juve hit the front from the Vieira assist
(lofted pass over the defence), Trezeguet's shot was parried by Campagnolo but Nedved hammered in the rebound. Ibrahimovic flicked on a throw in with a high back heel volley, Mutu headed the ball forward and Trezeguet got goal-side of a defender and hooked the ball into the corner. Ibrahimovic and Nedved combined to lay on a second for Trezeguet and he was denied a hat-trick when, having rounded the 'keeper, his shot hit the outside of a post and midfielder Vignati ran the ball into his own net. If Juve maintain this pace all season they're clearly on the gas. Barring a disaster of biblical proportions no one will catch them. Attendance : 27,587 Assists : n/a, Mutu, Nedved, n/a |

LIVORNO | 2-1 |
LAZIO |
De Ascentis 59 |
Pandev 65 |
|
Zauri 78 (og) | ||
This was a match between the fascists (Di
Canio) and the communists (Lucarelli) and the Commies came out on top. Lazio TOTALLY dominated the first half and Di Canio was unlucky to see a shot come back off a post. De Ascentis gave Livorno the lead following a flowing passing move which ended with the midfielder powerfully headed down into the net. Di Canio was substituted for Pandev and as he left he gave another Roman salute which went down really well at this ground. Behrami helped on a loose ball and Pandev just about managed to outrun Melara (which means as defenders go Melara is really quick) then suddenly checked back, sending Amelia on his arse, then lobbed into an empty net. Great goal and as I have said before Pandev is a hell of a talent. De Ascentis found Lucarelli with a high crossfield pass and his volley took a deflection off Zauri wrong footing Peruzzi. Livorno don't play awe inspiring football but then there isn't a great deal of quality in the side which speaks volumes for Donadoni's ability as a coach. I can't wait to see what he does at a team with a budget and better players. Put him down as the second favourite to succeed Ancelotti. Attendance : 11,000 Assists : Prates, Behrami, n/a |
||
MESSINA | 2-0 |
CHIEVO |
Di Napoli 17 | ||
Zampagna 45 pen | ||
Messina's first goal was an absolute gift,
Squizzi failed to hold Zampagna's poorly struck first time shot and Di Napoli pounced on the loose ball. Racalbuto, who is a crap ref, gave Messina a penalty when Zoro hauled down Sammarco when attacking a cross. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : n/a, Zoro (won pen) |
||
PARMA | 1-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
Corradi 25 |
Bonazzoli 84 |
|
Both goals were almost identical, diving
headers from left wing crosses. Samp had two penalty appeals turned down, including one which should have been given for handball. Antonioli made a fantastic late save to deny Grella. Attendance : 14,242 Assists : Marchionni, Boriello |
||
UDINESE | 1-2 |
LECCE |
Di Natale 90 |
Vucinic 41, 57 |
|
This was typical of Udinese in recent weeks,
good approach play and poor finishing. Valdes won a ball deep in the Udinese half and pass to Vucinic, he flicked the ball up before volleying past De Sanctis. Cue another weird celebration. He jumped the boards, got a camera off one of the photographers then took a photo of the Lecce supporters. Valdes and Konan combined to send Vucinic running through the heart of the SLOW Udinese defence, he took the ball wide of Bertotto before drilling a low shot inside a post. Obodo flicked on a free kick and Di Natale held off Konan to score. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : Valdes, Konan, Obodo |
