| EMPOLI | 1-1 |
UDINESE |
| Tavano 53 (pen) |
Felipe 55 |
|
| Tavano ended his seven match goal drought
from the penalty spot. Bertotto hit a first time cross into a packed penalty area and Felipe poked the ball into the corner to equalise. Empoli should have won this, I think they hit the woodwork three times. This looked to be a great match as both teams created and wasted a ridiculous number of chances. Attendance : 5,000 Assists : Pozzi (won pen), Bertotto |

| ROMA | 3-1 |
REGGINA |
| Totti 4, 65 |
Franceschini 91 |
|
| Lucarelli 93 (og) | ||
| Totti tapped Roma into a fourth minute lead
after Pavarini made a balls-up of a cross. Reggina did remarkably well to hold out for another hour because the hosts were all over them like a drunk on a kebab. Pavarini made up for his earlier mistake with a string of excellent saves before Totti tapped in a second after Taddei beat a defender to a longball and squared to his captain. Franceschini gave Reggina a glimmer of hope from a cleverly worked free kick but Roma went downfield and scored a third through another deflected effort from Mancini. Lippi should call up Taddei, he's decent cover on the right for Camoranesi (even though he plays in a more advanced attacking position) and has pace. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : n/a, Taddei, Mesto, n/a |

| CHIEVO | 1-1 |
JUVENTUS |
| Franceschini 21 |
Vieira 31 |
|
| After Ibrahimovic wasted two chances and
should have been awarded a penalty for a blatant body check, Chievo took the lead completely against the run of play. Semioli hit a cross over to the back post and Franceschini volleyed into the opposite corner. Vieira headed in the equaliser from Camoranesi's free kick. Attendance : 18,673 Assists : Semioli, Camoranesi (fk) |

| PALERMO | 4-2 |
PARMA |
| Corini 27 (fk) |
Simplicio 23 |
|
| Barzagli 50 |
Cannavaro 38 |
|
| Di Michele 52, 60 | ||
| Morfeo, in his first start since returning
from his 103 match ban, played in Simplicio for the opening goal with an excellent first time lobbed pass. Corini did Guardalden at his near post with a free kick which he should have saved it. While the Palermo defence were busy appealing for handball against Contini, Cannavaro took the ball off his team-mate and curled the ball inside the post from about 20 yards. I don't remember ever seeing a defender score a goal like that. Another defender, Barzagli, got in on the act and beat Guardalben with a 25 yard shot which dipped wickedly at the last minute. Di Michele got his Palermo career off to a great start with a quick brace. Corini released him with a long ball over the top of Parma's high defence and he raced cleared to score. He added a magnificent second, making Guardalben look like a complete fool with an awesome close range lob. Udinese are idiots for letting Di Michele go so cheaply. Attendance : 26,990 Assists : Morfeo, n/a, Contini, n/a, Corini, Godeas |
||
| MESSINA | 1-1 |
LAZIO |
| Rafael 22 |
Manfredini 78 |
|
|
Rafael capitalised on a rare error of
judgement from Peruzzi to head in a free kick. Manfredini met Keller's cross (who the hell is Keller?) with a brilliant diving header. Peruzzi pulled off a fantastic save to deny Messina a last minute winner. Lazio are one of the best footballing sides in Serie A. I'd love to see what De Rossi could do with a budget, not that it has helped Cosmi but that's another story. Attendance : 20,000 Assists : D'Agostino (fk), Keller |

| SAMPDORIA | 3-1 |
FIORENTINA |
| Tonetto 11, 25 |
Toni 14 |
|
| Flachi 32 | ||
| Bazanni headed on a ridiculously high corner,
Tonetto threw himself in the air and smashed an overhead kick past the flailing arms of Cejas, brilliant goal. Toni headed Fiorentina level from a corner. Tonetto restored Samp's lead with another fantastic goal. Dainelli headed another high ball 15 or so yards from the edge of the box, Tonetto met it first time, sending a low left foot volley crashing in off a post. Flachi headed in a third against his former club as Fiorentina continued to struggle with Samp's air game. Attendance : 24,000 Assists : Bazzani, Ujfalusi, n/a, n/a |
