Serie A 2005-2006 Round 22

29 January 2006

LECCE	0-2	INTER
		Figo 72
		Stankovic 93

Figo broke the tedium in this horrible match when he slammed Stovini's hurried clearance past Benussi. Cassetti wasted a great chance to equaliser when Cesar came off his line for a cross and missed the ball completely. Deep into injury time Adriano laid the ball onto Stankovic and his fiercely struck shot went through Benussi. Attendance : 15,832 Assists : n/a, Adriano

ASCOLI	1-3	JUVENTUS
Ferrante 33		Trezeguet 8, 13, 18

Emerson picked the pocket of a defender before running into traffic, with the ball bouncing Camoranesi hit an unbelievable cross over the back post and Trezeguet took the ball on his chest before volleying into the bottom left corner. Superb goal. Trezeguet headed down a Nedved longball and after a bit of ball juggling Del Piero played in Camoranesi and he centred for the Frenchman to tap-in his second. Trezeguet completed his hat-trick with another tap-in after Del Piero skinned a defender on the edge of the box. Ascoli scored on the break after Del Piero gave away the ball with a loose pass, Foggia sent Comotto down the right, he pulled the ball back across the box and Ferrante blasted into the top left corner. The big problem with watching any match Juve play at home is everything appears so underwhelming and unimportant because three people turn up. Instead of seeing players celebrate near thousands of cheering fans they're giving each other high fives in front of empty seats. Attendance : 20,000 Assists : Camoranesi, Camoranesi, Del Piero, Comotto

CHIEVO	4-0	REGGINA
Amauri 47, 88 (Pen)
Pellissier 74, 94

Amauri opened the scoring early in the second half with a brilliant header from Lanna's cross. Chievo doubled their advantage following a quick break. Amauri, who had his back to goal, laid on Giunti's pass to Pellissier and his low, first time shot had too much pace for Pelizzoli. Amauri smashed in the third from the penalty spot and Pellissier completed a flattering victory when he pounced on De Rosa and scored at the second attempt after Pelizzoli saved his initial effort. Attendance : 4,900 Assists : Lanna, Amauri, Semioli (won pen), n/a

EMPOLI	1-2	PARMA
Tavano 59 (Pen)		Marchionni 44
		Bresciano 79

Marchionni, who is suddenly flavour of the month having done nothing in the first half of the season, tapped Parma into the lead against the run of play after Tavano gave the ball away in his own penalty area when trying to dribble past a defender, IDIOT. He made amends by converting a fortuitously awarded penalty. Empoli were looking good for a second before a moment of magic from Morfeo turned the game in Parma's favour. Bolano headed down a cross, Morfeo's back heel took out two defenders and Bresciano's first time shot flew in off a post. Attendance : 5,100 Assists : Morfeo, Busce (won pen), Morfeo

MESSINA	1-0	CAGLIARI
Di Napoli 88

Attendance : 22,000 Assist : Muslimovic

ROMA	3-0	LIVORNO
Pfertzel 31 (og)
Totti 41 (Pen)
Taddei 61

Bovo touched a free kick to Totti and his shot took a wicked deflection off Pfertzel. Totti made it 2-0 from the spot after Coco pulled back Taddei. Totti sent Taddei clear and he beat Amelia with a precise low shot inside the post. Attendance : 35,000 Assists : n/a, Taddei (won pen), Totti

UDINESE	0-0	FIORENTINA

Attendance : 17,000 Red Card : Baronio 23 (Udinese) Assist : n/a


28 January 2006

MILAN	1-1	SAMPDORIA
Shevchenko 12 (Pen)		Gasbarroni 36

Volpi climbed over the back of Inzaghi leaving De Sanctis no choice but to point to the penalty spot. Shevchenko sent Antonioli the wrong way. Dida, who passed a late fitness test, made another shocking mistake. Gasbarroni, who should have won a penalty earlier, tried his luck from distance and Dida, who only needed to stick out an arm to punch the ball clear, didn't react. Samp hit the woodwork twice in quick succession. It took Milan an hour to find their feet but despite all their possession only Seedorf threatened with a low drive that beat Antonioli but not the post. It's going to be a long five months for Milan supporters. Attendance : 55,000 Assists : Inzaghi (won pen), n/a

PALERMO	1-3	SIENA
Godeas 67		Bogdani 29, 57, 64

Fortin found Bogdani with a monstrous goalkick but the striker lost possession however Barzagli gave the ball straight back and Bogdani played a one-two with D'Aversa and while the Palermo defence waited for offside he rolled the ball into the net. Minutes after Fortin made a brilliant save from Terlizzi's scissor kick, Bogdani headed in Siena's second from Paro's free kick. He completed his hat-trick with another header as once again the Palermo defence appealed in vain for offside. Di Michele laid on a consolation goal for Godeas. Luigi Del Neri was sacked shortly after the end of this match and can have no complaints. This team should be pushing for a European place. As for Del Neri his coaching career is in the toilet. He worked wonders at Chievo and since then had a short, embarrassing spell at Porto followed by an utterly disastrous few months at Roma. Giuseppe Papadopulo, who did a fine job with Siena and Lazio, will replace Del Neri. Attendance : 26,428 Assists : D'Aversa, Paro (fk), Vergassola, Di Michele
