Because of a journalist strike there was no commentary on any of the
highlights which made doing these reviews a major pain in the arse so I take no responsibility for any mistakes! |
PALERMO | 2-1 |
MESSINA |
Zaccardo 25 |
Rigano 7 |
|
Di Michele 41 Pen | ||
Typical. Palermo keep only their second clean
sheet of the season against Milan, having conceded 12 goals up until that point, yet were already behind after just 7 minutes against mid-table Messina. Masiello swung a high cross over to the back post and three defenders watched Rigano head past their 'keeper. Zaccardo equalised from a corner and Di Michele won the match from the penalty spot after Messina defender Rea jumped on him piggy back fashion. Attendance : 28,547 Assists : Masiello, Brienza (ck), Di Michele (won pen) |

Jankulovski 31 |

||
SIENA | 1-1 |
CATANIA |
Frick 47 |
Corona 90 |
|
Edusei kicked the ball against Frick when
trying to clear a through pass, it rolled wide to Bogdani, his cross came back off the bar and Frick, off balance and in a bad position threw himself at the ball and it clipped his heels before bouncing over the line. Siena paid the price for their atrocious long range shooting when in injury time Corona tapped in the equaliser following a goalmouth scramble. Attendance : 6,500 Assists : n/a, Silvestri |

TORINO | 0-1 |

UDINESE |
Matteini 60 |
Obodo 57 |
|
Obodo scored on the rebound after Iaquinta's
header came back off the crossbar. Vannucchi forced De Sanctis into making a great one handed save on a free kick and from his resulting corner Matteini headed in the equaliser. Attendance : 5,000 Assists : n/a, Vannucchi (ck) |
||
ROMA | 2-2 |
ASCOLI |
Totti 49 |
Delvecchio 22 |
|
Mexes 90 |
Bjelanovic 64 |
|
|
||
Panucci and Ferrari collided when attacking a
cross and former Roma striker Delvecchio was first to react, jumping to head the ball past Doni. Perrotta touched a free kick to Totti who hit a fantastically violent shot past Pagliuca. Bjelanovic got above Mexes to head in Lukovic's cross. Totti won a penalty and blasted the ball straight down the middle at Pagliuca. Mexes and Totti made amends for their earlier mistakes with the equaliser. Pagliuca spilled Totti's deflected free kick and Mexes thumped a high shot into the roof of the net. Attendance : 32,000 Assists : n/a, Perrotta, Lukovic, n/a |

ATALANTA | 3-3 |
CAGLIARI |
Loria 4 |
Bianco 6 |
|
Ventola 58 |
D'Agostino 30 |
|
Doni 69 |
Suazo 54 Pen |
|
Both teams traded headers from free kicks.
D'Agostino put Cagliari in front with an excellent diving header and won the second half penalty from which Suazo made it 1-3. Ventola scored a tap-in after a defender headed against his own crossbar and Doni completed another miserable day for Cagliari, who are yet to win this season, by heading in Bernardini's corner. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : Bernardini (fk), Budel (fk), Pisano, n/a, D'Agostino (won pen), Bernardini (ck) |

SAMPDORIA | 2-0 |
LAZIO |
Quagliarella 53 |
|
|
Volpi 75 Pen |
|
|
|
||
Fresh from his brace at the weekend youngster
(well at 23 he's young by Italian standards) Quagliarella forced Belleri into making a mistake as he chased down a long ball, he cut inside the defender then hit a firm shot straight at Peruzzi and he couldn't prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net. Lazio were looking good for an equaliser until Siviglia conceded a penalty. Attendance : 19,000 Red Card : Stendardo 71 (Lazio), Pandev 91 (Lazio) Assists : n/a, Olivera (won pen) |
||
INTER | 4-1 |
LIVORNO |
Pfertzel 2 og |
Lucarelli 70 |
|
Materazzi 13 |
|
|
Ibrahimovic 71 | ||
Cruz 78 | ||
Pfertzel, standing near the far post, tried
to kick Recoba's cross out for a corner but buggered up his angles and put the ball into his own net. France's favourite Italian, Marco Materazzi, doubled Inter's lead with a bullet header from Recoba's corner. Lucarelli pulled a goal back, completely against the run of play with, predictably, a header. Stankovic played a one-two with Cruz before running into the box and leaving Ibrahimovic with a tap-in. Cruz headed in a fourth to complete the champions most emphatic victory of the season ahead of the Milan derby. Milan are screwed. Attendance : 39,000 Assists : n/a, Recoba (ck), Prates, Stankovic, Figo (ck) |

REGGINA | 3-2 |
PARMA |
Amoruso 33, 77 |
Budan 39 |
|
Bianchi 76 |
Gasbarroni 84 |
|
The tiny Brazilian Leon, who is having an
incredible debut season (shame he's 27) served up another assist for Amoruso to head Reggina into the lead. Budan equalised with a bullet header. Amelia made a hat-trick of great saves in quick succession on one attack before he was finally beaten by Bianchi. Amoruso made it 3-1 with a superb first time strike from the edge of the box. Gasbarroni pulled a goal back following a quick exchange of passes but in stoppage time Amelia was lucky to avoid a red card when he clipped Tedesco on the edge of the box as he ran in on goal. Attendance : 15,000 Red Card : Contini 73 (Parma) Assists : Leon, Cigarini, n/a, Modesto, Muslimovic |
