LAZIO |
Cribari 21 |
||
Rocchi 34 |
||
Agostini fouled Behrami to concede a free
kick and kicked his arse as he lay on the floor which I found very amusing. Ledesma swung the ball into the box and Cribari headed Lazio. Ledesma also made the second with a glorious crossfield pass out to Rocchi who instantly brought the ball under control in mid-air, turned inside Bizera before taking one step forward and whipping a right foot shoot into the top corner. Fabulous goal. Attendance : 10,000 Red Card : Langella 78 (Cagliari) Assists : Ledesma (fk), Ledesma |

Inter created a ton of chances but kept
missing until Samuel headed in a Stankovic corner at the end of the first half. Solari collected a pass from Maicon and held off Baiocco before beating Pantanelli with a shot which bounced off a post. Inter's forgotten World Cup hero Fabio Grosso put the champions 0-3 up when his cross sailed over Pantanelli's head before dropping into the net. Julio Cesar got a lucky break on 66 minutes when he went through Spinesi as the striker ran onto a through pass, Spinesi could have easily went down and earned himself a penalty and Julio Cesar a red card but stayed on his feet and smashed the ball into the roof of the net. A fantastic pass from Solari and a failed offside trap put Ibrahimovic in the clear for Inter's fourth. Catania another goal back when Cordoba, who is having a crap season, got burned by Corona on a long ball and four minutes later Cruz ended the scoring after the excellent Maicon served up another chance. Attendance : n/a Red Card : Spinesi 88 (Catania) Assists : Stankovic (ck), Maicon, Solari, n/a, Solari, Stovini, Maicon |

FIORENTINA | 2-0 |
EMPOLI |
Mutu 26 |
|
|
Toni 75 | ||
Dainelli hit a longball out of defence,
Empoli defender Pratali, under pressure from Toni, helped the ball onto Mutu and with Balli a couple of yards off his line the Romanian dropped an exquisite lob over his head into the back of the net. Pasquale made a run across the Empoli back line, Jorgensen played him in with a reverse pass and as the Empoli defence tried to spring the offside trap Pasquale centred for Toni to tap in his 13th goal of the season. Attendance : 23,900 Assists : n/a, Pasquale |

Tavano 55 |
|
|
Mexes 65 | ||
Panucci 90 | ||
Roma lined up a free kick about 40 yards from
goal. Totti took an awful shot but the ball landed at Tavano's feet 12 yards from goal and he duly opened his Roma account. Mexes made it 2-0 with a powerful header from Pizarro's corner. Totti missed his SIXTH penalty of the season before substitutes Taddei and Vucinic combined to set up Panucci for the third. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : Totti, Pizarro (ck), Vucinic |

PARMA |
Di Natale 42, 68 (Pen) |
Budan 8 |
|
Obodo 84 |
Parravicini 78 |
|
Rossi 86 (Pen) |
||
Parma's new president saw his relegation
threatened club get off to a perfect start when Croatian striker Igor Budan beat De Sanctis with a stunning shot from 25 yards which was his 10th goal of the campaign which is a tremendous return for a player in a struggling team. Di Natale took advantage of terrible marking by Perna to head in the equaliser then shot Udinese into the lead from the penalty spot. Parravicini caught De Sanctis by surprise with a drive through a packed penalty area. Obodo looked to have won the match when he drilled a loose ball into the bottom corner prompting celebrations from Udinese's new coach madman Malesani but teenager Rossi, on loan from Manchester United, kept his composure to equalise from the penalty spot. Attendance : 13,000 Assist : Rossi, n/a, Natali (won pen), Rossi, n/a, Gasbarroni (won pen) |

CHIEVO | 3-0 |
TORINO |
Bovo 2 (og) |
|
|
Bogdani 45 | ||
Brighi 47 | ||
|
||
Bogdani took a speculative shot from 20 yards and the ball took a deflection off Bovo's backside before looping over Abbiati in the Torino goal. Bogdani towered above the Torino defence to head in a 50 yard free kick. Bogdani intercepted a ball inside the Torino box and tried to make space for a shot before turning into traffic, Obinna took the ball off his feet, danced around the back of the Torino defence and pulled the ball across goal for Brighi to tap in the third. Pellissier should have made it 4-0 but missed a penalty. Attendance : n/a Assists : n/a, D'Anna, Obinna |

ATALANTA | 1-1 |
PALERMO |
Zampagna 14 |
Diana 58 |
|
Doni helped on Ariatti's cross leaving an
unmarked Zampagna to smash the ball in at he back post. Both goalkeepers pulled out all the stops with some spectacular saves before Pisano drew out Calderoni and centred, leaving Diana with a tap-in. Jimmy Fontana and Atalanta defender Loria both left the field after an ugly mid- air collision knocked them the f out. Palermo are doing a shitty job in coping without Amauri and they must beat Milan next week in order to maintain their loose grip on third place. If they don't, they'll eventually slip out of the top four. Attendance : 8,800 Assists : Doni, Pisano |
