| Biava 91 (og) | ||
| Both teams had goals disallowed in what was a
fairly evenly contested first half. Mancini gave Roma the lead with a bolt out of the blue, a swerving first time strike from the edge of the box. Totti went top of the scoring charts from the penalty spot after Pisano fouled Taddei. Both players combined to send Mancini racing clear to score a third. In injury time Totti's attempted lob took a deflection off Biava wrong footing Jimmy in the Palermo goal. Attendance : 41,000 Assists : Totti, Taddei (won pen), Taddei, n/a |

Ibrahimovic headed on and Materazzi, standing on the penalty spot, slammed a left foot overhead kick into the bottom corner of the net. Maicon received a pass on the half-way line and pushed the ball inside a Messina player before running into a huge gap straight down the middle, as two defenders moved in to close him down he flicked the ball to Ibrahimovic and he took it on his left foot before shooting in off Storari, who probably should have saved.

Pandev 25 |

| The outstanding Goran Pandev gave Lazio the
lead with another high quality goal on his 100th appearance for Lazio.

Pasquale whipped a cross over to the back post and Lucarelli leapt above everyone to head in the equaliser. Attendance : 9,500 Red Card : Rocchi 60 (Lazio) Assists : Ledesma, Pasquale |

| Budan 25 |
Zanchetta 23 (Pen) |
|
| Dessena 58 |
D'Anna 65 |
|
| Zanchetta took over penalty duties in the
absence of the suspended Obinna and made no mistake. Chievo appeared to get out of jail when Muslimovic seemed certain to score after he caught Sicignano miles off his line only to be denied by Marchese's sensational clearance however Grella knocked the ball back into the box as the Chievo defence ran out to play offside Budan lifted the ball over a prone Sicignano. Dessena gave Parma the lead with a brilliant strike from distance. D'Anna took advantage of wretched defending from a corner to head in the equaliser. Attendance : 14,000 Assists : Pellissier (won pen), Grella, Budan, Tiribocchi |

| REGGINA | 0-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
|
Quagliarella 68 |
||
| Quagliarella scored one of the best overhead
kicks you are ever likely to see. Flachi swung in a corner, Quagliarella, who was being manhandled by a defender, jumped in the air and with both feet off the ground swung his right foot around the ball, volleying it into the roof of the net and landed on his feet. Absolutely and utterly brilliant. Attendance : 11,000 Assist : Flachi (ck) |
||
| SIENA | 1-1 |
ATALANTA |
| Frick 85 |
Migliaccio 36 |
|
| Migliaccio gave Atalanta the lead with a

| FIORENTINA | 2-2 |
MILAN |
| Mutu 20 (Pen), 76 |
Gilardino 3, 89 |
|
| Brocchi chipped a ball into the box and
Gilardino ran through Ujfalusi's despairing lunge onto the ball and just beat Frey as he dived at the striker's feet with a perfectly placed lob. Mutu equalised from the spot after the ref gave Fiorentina an extremely charitable penalty for handball. Kaladze attempted to clear a Jorgensen cross but ended up slicing the ball to Mutu who calmly shot wide of Kalac. Jankulovski helped on a Gourcuff corner and Gilardino's flick header beat Frey from close range. Attendance : 41,578 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, Jankulovski |

CAGLIARI |
| Pinzi 17 |
Cocco 83 |
|
| Iaquinta 27 | ||
| Obodo 51 | ||
| Iaquinta hit a delightful pass out wide to Di
Natale, Di Natale checked inside a defender but over hit his cross, Iaquinta headed the ball down and Pinzi volleyed in from six yards. The home side doubled their advantage following a lightning raid down Cagliari's right flank. Barreto gathered Di Natale's pass and hit a low centre into the box, two Cagliari defenders got in each others way when attempting to clear leaving the big man with an easy finish. Muntari was sent off for an appalling foul from behind on Capone. Di Natale split the Cagliari defence with a pass inside four defenders and Obodo broke through the offside trap before rolling the ball past Fortin. Cocco scrambled in his first Serie A goal. Suazo, who is again being linked with a transfer with the window impending, was totally anonymous. Attendance : 13,000 Red Card : Muntari 45 (Udinese) Assists : Iaquinta, n/a, Di Natale, n/a |
