Serie A 2006-2007 Round 15

10 December 2006

LAZIO	3-0	ROMA
Ledesma 44
Oddo 52 Pen
Mutarelli 73

Ledesma rarely scores but when he does the goals tend to be spectacular and this was no exception. Standing 30 or so yards from goal he took a pass from Oddo and hit a left foot shot which arched wickedly towards the top left corner of the net. Rocchi headed on a longball, it landed right at Mexes' feet but an appalling first touch allowed Pandev to steal possession and he headed straight for the centre of the box, Pandev tried to vault Doni as he rushed off his line but Doni's sneaky trip brought him crashing to the ground. Rosetti initially gave nothing then produced a red card for Doni and penalty for Lazio after consulting a linesman. Following protests from Roma players he went back to the linesman and gave Doni a yellow card instead, presumably because Panucci was in a position to clear so Doni wasn't the last man. Oddo made no mistake from the spot and Lazio added a third on the break, Mauri hit the woodwork for the second time in the half but Mutarelli was on hand to lash in the rebound. An increasingly frustrated Totti was lucky not to be sent off for pushing his head into a Lazio defender having already been booked. Attendance : 70,000 Assists : Oddo, Pandev (won pen), n/a

ATALANTA	3-2	MESSINA
Bombardini 28		Cordova 75
Pinto 57		Di Napoli 85
Doni 67

Brazilian forward Pinto had a hand in all three of Atalanta's goals. He flicked on a throw in and Bombardini just beat his marker to slide the ball past Storari. Bombardini played a ball out wide to Pinto, as he ran into the box everyone was getting ready for a cross, suddenly he put his boot through the ball sending a right foot shot ripped into the top left corner. Doni topped that 10 minutes later. He bounced Pinto's right wing cross high off his chest before leaping in the air and blasting an overhead kick into the back of the net. Atalanta, who have twice thrown away leads in recent weeks, almost blew it again. Cordova made it 3-1 with a superb free kick and Di Napoli set up a tense finish from another set piece. Attendance : 11,000 Assists : Pinto, Bombardini, Pinto, Floccari (won fk), Cordova

		Crespo 60
		Ibrahimovic 78
		Samuel 87

Crespo set Inter on the way to a record equalling 8th consecutive league victory when he tapped in a rebound after Ibrahimovic headed a Recoba free kick against a post. Vannucchi steamed into a tackle on Solari, inadvertently playing a perfect through pass to Ibrahimovic and showing a new found composure that alluded him last season (and through a large part of his career) he curled the ball in off a post. Burdisso crossed for Samuel to head in the third. Attendance : 12,000 Assists : n/a, n/a, Burdisso

9 December 2006

REGGINA	2-1	ASCOLI
Lucarelli 29		Pecorari 84
Amoruso 78

Alessandro Lucarelli connected with Leon's free kick at the back post to give Reggina the lead. A desperate tackle by an Ascoli player sent Reggina on a three vs one break, Bianchi passed to Amoruso and he beat Cudini (the only defender covering) before lobbing over Pagliuca. Pecorari took advantage of some slack defending to score but Ascoli failed to trouble the home side in the closing minutes. Attendance : 9,000 Assists : Leon (fk), Bianchi, Vastola

PALERMO	3-0	LIVORNO
Simplicio 2, 79
Amauri 38

Palermo, who haven't won in three games, got off to the perfect start when Simplicio tapped in Di Michele's centre. From an identical position Amauri headed in a Bresciano cross. Simplicio absolutely belted Pisano's centre into the roof of the net to complete the rout and earn his side their first win in three games. Attendance : 20,441 Assists : Di Michele, Bresciano, Pisano
