| LAZIO | 0-2 |
ROMA |
|
Taddei 32 |
||
|
Aquilani 63 |
||
| Roma should have been awarded a penalty when
Manfredini went through Montella with a scissors lock. Taddei gave Roma the lead with a header from a Mancini corner. Roma repelled everything Lazio threw at them before suckering them on the break. Mancini did a million step-overs as he drove into the box then pulled the ball back to Aquilani who slammed first time into the bottom corner then hit the running track and hugged his captain, Totti, in the stands. Great moment and congrats to Roma for setting a new record for most consecutive wins (11). Attendance : 70,000 Assists : Mancini (ck), Mancini |

| EMPOLI | 1-1 |
TREVISO |
| Rigano 92 |
E Filippini 52 |
|
| After Vascak had a shot cleared off the line
he touched the ball back to Filippini, he danced past three players and from an acute angle absolutely hammered the ball past Cejas. Empoli were awarded an extremely soft penalty. Almiron smashed the ball past Sereni but the ref ordered a retake for encroachment and this time Sereni saved. Treviso were the better side until Baseggio was sent off for his part in whatever foul he was supposed to have made when conceding the penalty. Rigano snatched an ill deserved point for the home side when he tapped in following a goalmouth scramble. Attendance : 4,900 Red Card : Baseggio 78 (Treviso) Assists : Vascak, n/a |

| SIENA | 1-0 |

| PALERMO | 0-2 |
MILAN |
|
Inzaghi 72 |
||
|
Shevchenko 83 (Pen) |
||
| Kalac made a great save late in the first
half after Costacurta put his defence in danger with a heavy first touch from a back pass. Vogel, who has played regularly in recent weeks (and probably deserves a starting place ahead of Pirlo) hit a brilliant deep crossfield pass into the box and Inzaghi jumped between to defenders to head Milan into the lead. Seedorf hit an 60 yard longball out of defence to Shevchenko, he left the Palermo defence trailing in his wake and made the most of a silly challenge from Andujar to win a penalty. The Milan players wore black armbands in memory of Levan Kaladze, the brother of Kakha Kaladze, who was found dead earlier this week after being kidnapped in 2001. Attendance : 31,900 Red Card : Stam 87 (Milan) Assists : Vogel, Shevchenko (won pen) |

| INTER | 3-1 |
UDINESE |
| Cruz 18 (Pen), 47 |
Iaquinta 83 (Pen) |
|
| Martins 59 | ||
| Adriano was serving the first of a two match
ban for slapping an opponent and I do mean slapping literally. On what grounds Inter thought they had a case for appeal I'll never know. Toldo retaining his place in goal and should have picked the ball out of the back of his net early on but Iaquinta missed an absolute sitter. De Sanctis made an outstanding save from Cruz before giving away a penalty with a foul on Martins. Cruz smashed the ball low and killed off Udinese with a brilliant header early in the second half. Martins tapped in the third after De Sanctis spilled Pizarro's free kick. Samuel walked for chopping down Iaquinta. Sideshow Bob Barreto won a penalty which Iaquinta rolled past Toldo. Zapata got a second yellow for no good reason and Iaquinta, who had a tremendous free kick disallowed for a push, scored from the spot. As far as Argentina are concerned everyone is obsessed with all these midget strikers while overlooking Cruz who is probably the best option they have in attack. Attendance : 45,000 Red Cards : Samuel 65 (Inter), Zapata 84 (Udinese) Assists : Martins (won pen), Pizarro, n/a, Barreto (won pen) |

| JUVENTUS | 3-1 |
LECCE |
| Emerson 18 |
Del Vecchio 10 |
|
| Kovac 43 | ||
| Del Piero 88 (Pen) | ||
| Del Vecchio gave Lecce a shock lead with a
powerful diving header, capitalising on more non existent marking from Juve's increasingly charitable defence. Juve lost Blasi to a nasty cut above his eye after Del Vecchio whacked him in the face when challenging for a cross. This seemed to infuriate Mutu who spent the rest of the match kicking and punching Lecce players at random. Emerson, who has had a poor season, back-heeled Mutu's wayward shot past Benussi to equalise. He took a boot to head when attacking a corner and a HUMONGOUS, bulging growth formed on his head. He soldered on with heavy strapping. No Juve game is complete without a bad miss my Ibrahimovic and this week having controlled a Vieira longball, held off a defender and with the 'keeper way off his line he volleyed wide. Kovac scored his first Juve goal from Mutu's free kick and Del Piero finished off Lecce from the spot after the idiot Rodomonti was fooled by Nedved's theatrics. Nedved is going to get injured very soon, it's inevitable with the amount of diving he's done in recent weeks karma will catch up with him. Buffon has already conceded more goals than Abbiati. If Milan hadn't stupidly sent him on loan the scudetto would still be up for grabs. Attendance : 26,700 Red Card : Camorani 51 (Lecce) Assists : Camisa, Mutu, Mutu (fk), Nedved (won pen) |

| CAGLIARI | 2-2 |
CHIEVO |
| Suazo 32 |
Tiribocchi 85 |
|
| Gobbi 94 |
Pellissier 90 |
|
| Suazo pounced on a sliced clearance from
Chievo captain D'Anna to give Cagliari the lead. Tiribocchi tapped in the equaliser before Pellissier, who had two goals disallowed for offside, made it third time luckily from a corner. In the last minute of injury time Ferri booted a free kick into the box and Gobbi held off Semioli to equalise. Attendance : 10,000 Red Card : Bega (Cagliari 66) Assists : n/a, Lanna, Semioli (ck), Ferri (fk) |

| REGGINA | 1-1 |
LIVORNO |
| Cozza 63 |
Morrone 46 |
|
| Morrone gathered a loose ball and seeing
Reggina goalkeeper Pavarini off his line sent a 35 yard shot sailing over his head into the bottom corner. Cozza headed in the equaliser. Attendance : 9,386 Assists : n/a, Mesto |

| PARMA | 2-4 |
FIORENTINA |
| Simplicio 3 (Pen) |
Bojinov 35, 39 |
|
| Bresciano 19 |
Jorgensen 48 |
|
|
Jimenez 68 |
||
| Bojinov must have been excited ahead of the
evenings heavyweight boxing match between Danny Williams and Matt Skelton, so excited in fact he attempted a right hook at the ball in his own penalty area. After he was beaten from the spot, Lobont gifted Parma a second goal with an unnecessary run out of his box, he stopped Corradi but couldn't hold onto the ball and Bresciano skipped a despairing lung to fire in the second. The Aussie midfielder almost added a third but Lobont made an excellent save. Bojinov began the comeback with a flick header from a long range Pasqual free kick. Four minutes later it was all square. Toni headed on a long ball, Bojinov burst through two defenders and pushed the ball under Bucci. Jorgensen smashed in the third after Bucci had saved brilliantly first from Toni then Jimenez. Jimenez finished off Parma from a corner. Attendance : 16,708 Assists : n/a, n/a, Pasqual (fk), Toni, n/a, Dainelli |
