There were some minor skirmishes in the crowd and a fire was started underneath a stand. Zauli intercepted a hospital pass, dribbled past a defender and from a ridiculous angle curled the ball inside the far post. Brilliant strike. Surprisingly Chievo dominated the start of the second half. Semioli smashed in the equaliser after Guardalben parried from Pellissier. Attendance : 32,853 Assists : n/a, Santana, n/a, n/a |

|
| Vucinic 47, 78, 82 (fk) | ||
| Diamoutene 71 | ||
| Dalla Bona converted a
penalty won by Eremenko. Rocchi equalised from the most amazing of passes. Antonio Filippini, standing on the right touchline, curled a rolling ball, almost free kick like, around the Lecce defence and Rocchi shot first time under Sicignano. Lopez, who had conceded the penalty, failed to cut out a cross from statistically the player who is statistically the World's best attacking full back Audio Cassetti (8 league assists including this one), Vucinic controlled the ball with his hand before rolling into the corner. Cesar talked himself into a second yellow after protesting. 2-1. Rocchi scored a fantastic equaliser. Having been chased away from goal he turned suddenly, feigned to shoot causing Stovini to lose his balance then curled a right foot shot past Sicignano. Rocchi was standing in an offside position as Lecce sprung their trap on the half way line, Antonio Filippini however wasn't standing offside so as ran past the defence Rocchi turned and ran with him, a simple pass and a left foot shot gave Lazio the lead. Dalla Bona was sent off for 'kicking' Liverani, there appeared to be no contact. Diamoutene headed in the equaliser from Ledesma's corner. Vucinic scored Lecce's 4th after playing one-two with Valdez and completed his hat-trick with a superb free kick. Attendance : 21,410 Red Card : Cesar 48 (Lazio), Dalla Bona 67 (Lecce) Assists : Eremenko (won pen), A Filippini, Cassetti, n/a, A Filippini, Ledesma (ck), Valdez, Cassetti (won fk) |

Flachi 27 |
|
|
Volpi 75 |
||
| Volpi's shot looping over
Eleftheropoulos after taking a wicked deflection off Flachi. Zampagna rode a tackle from Castellini before cracked a low shot past Antonioli. Messina hit Samp with a fantastic counter attack. Aronica won the ball in his own half with a strong challenge then ran half the length of the pitch before playing a one-two with Di Napoli and crossing for Zampagna to head in at the back post. Volpi slammed in the equaliser after Messina made a mess of a corner. Both teams hit the woodwork late on. Attendance : 30,000 Assists : Volpi, n/a, Aronica, Rossini |

C Lucarelli 22, 24, |
|
| Pisanu 27 |
58 (Pen), 73 |
|
| Simplicio 47 | ||
| Gilardino got the
faintest of touches on a deflected cross but Livorno hit back with two quick goals. Colombo's clever reverse pass confused Parma defence and Lucarelli fired into the corner. Two minutes later Bonera failed to pick him up on a free kick and he headed past Frey. Livorno threw away the lead following more poor set piece defending, Pisanu smashed in at the second attempt after his initial effort was saved. Morfeo flicked on Pisanu's cross to Gilardino, who was standing offside, and he skipped a challenge from Amelia before tapping into an empty net, 3-2. At the star of the second half Contini over hit a cross, Pisanu managed to pull the ball down and rolled it to the edge of the box where it was met by Simplicio. Lucarelli completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after Pisanu handled. Gilardino's third was very, very special. With his back to play he flicked up Morfeo's free kick with his right foot then hit a left foot volley on the turn and the ball flew in off a post. Protti headed on Alessandro Lucarelli's cross and his older brother headed in a fourth and Gilardino also scored a fourth from a cleverly worked free kick. Sacchi was in the stands possibly watching Gilardino. The strikers move to Milan was a handshake deal so they better finalise the deal before someone else gets him, he's the new Gerd Muller. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : n/a, Colombo, Balleri (fk), n/a, Morfeo, Pisanu, n/a, Protti, Morfeo (fk), Bovo |

| Iaquinta's goal bound
effort was charged down by Sala and Mauri hammered home the rebound. Atalanta hit back immediately when Bertotto inadvertently helped on Adriano's pass and Lazzari shot under De Sanctis. Atalanta were looking good for a second goal before an unbelievable mistake by Natali gifted Iaquinta Udinese's second. For reasons he will only know himself he flicked up a back-pass high into the air and Iaquinta pounced to volley in the winner. Attendance : 15,370 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a |

|
| Bonazzoli's cross was
cleared to the edge of the area and Colucci met it with an staggeringly hard volley, sending the ball thundering into the net. Langella was booked for protesting after he was body checked by Zamboni. His second yellow arrived after what would have been a shocking foul - had he connected with Tedesco. Bianchi scored a last minute equaliser with a phenomenal diving header. Attendance : 15,000 Red Card : Langella 55 (Cagliari) Assists : n/a, Gobbi |

| FIORENTINA | 1-2 |
MILAN |
| Maresca 25 |
Shevchenko 46, 54 |
|
| Milan's defending from
crosses in this match was unbelievably poor. Fiorentina took the lead from a corner. Miccoli whipped the ball into the heart of a packed penalty area, it bounced up off Nesta's arm and with Dida racing to punch clear Maresca bravely headed into the net. Either side of the goal Pazzini missed two routine headers, the first of which struck the crossbar. Milan got back on level terms seconds after the restart. Tomasson flicked on Serginho's cross and Shevchenko lost Chiellini before stabbing over the line. The second goal was also created by Serginho, this time he turned inside a defender before sending a right foot cross towards the back post, Chiellini made a feeble attempt to head clear and Shevchenko headed down into the corner. A series of refereeing decisions then went against Fiorentina. Miccoli caught Stam dithering in possession from Dida's backpass and as he went past Stam pulled him down - yellow card. As Pazzini pulled down a Jorgensen cross and was about to shoot Miccoli took the ball off his feet and dragged his shot wide. Fiorentina should have been awarded a penalty when Stam punched away another Jorgensen cross but De Santis called handball against Miccoli (the ball struck Miccoli's arm after Stam punched clear). Pirlo came on for Tomasson with half an hour to go and hit a gorgeous pass upto Cafu, he plucked the ball out of the air before smashing a shot at Cejas's near post which the 'keeper could only parry but Cafu took his second shot with his weaker left foot, Pazzini, Vialli and Bojinov wasted further chances.
