31 October 2004 UDINESE 1-0 PALERMO Mauri 59 Assist : Jankulovski FIORENTINA 4-0 LECCE Jorgensen 45 Obodo 62, 71 Chiellini 90 Sicignano had an absolute nightmare. He parried Jorgensen's cross into his own net on the stroke of half time and mid-way through the second half ran out of his box and cleared straight to Nakata and Obodo took over to lob in from 40 yards. Nakata ran clear to set up Odobo for an easy tap in and Chiellini completed the route after another failed offside attempt. Attendance : 30,500 Assists : n/a, Nakata (x2), Odobo JUVENTUS 3-0 CHIEVO Zalayeta 24 Nedved 65 Ibrahimovic 79 Chievo screwed up offside allowing Zalayeta to volleyed Juve into the lead from Blasi's superb pass. The newly shorn Ibrahimovic combined with Kapo on the left, Nedved took a step forward before hitting a stunning right foot shot past Marchegiani. Chievo actually created several chances in this match but given they have only scored 7 goals the Juve defence weren't taking them seriously. Ibrahimovic showed them how it's done when he controlled Thuram's long ball on his chest and volleyed into the corner. Attendance : 22,000 Assists : Blasi, Kapo, Thuram LIVORNO 2-1 BRESCIA A Lucarelli 45 Caracciolo 25 Doga 72 Alessandro Lucarelli made up for gifting the lead to Brescia by heading his team level from his brother's corner. Doga headed in the winner after one of the Lucarelli brothers shot against the crossbar. Nygaard was sent off for protesting after the ref failed to award him a stone wall penalty. Attendance : 15,000 Red Card : Nygaard 86 (Brescia) Assists : Dallamano, Lucarelli C (ck), n/a MESSINA 2-1 REGGINA Zampagna 65 Bonazzoli 33 Di Napoli 74 Messina ended a run of three defeats to climb back into the top four which says a lot for how inconsistent all but the top two teams are this season. Bonazzoli gave Reggina the lead from a throw in. Parisi touched on a free kick to Zampagna and his shot proved too hot to handle for Pavarini, not because it was a great shot, although it was struck with some venom, but because he's a crap 'keeper. Less than ten minutes later he flapped at a cross and Di Napoli headed in the winner. Attendance : 28,000 Assists : Colucci, Parisi (fk), Yanagisawa PARMA 2-2 ATALANTA Gilardino 40, 55 (Pen) Budan 45 Montolovio 76 Gilardino held off two defenders before turning sharply and blasting into the corner. Budan headed in the equaliser right on half time. Gilardino finally succeeded in wining a penalty after going down twice in the first half. Montolovio earned a point with a precise shot from the edge of the box. Atalanta have yet to win a match and that's despite scoring more goals than every team in the bottom half of the table. Attendance : 12,000 Assists : n/a, Mingazzini, Gilardino (won pen), Mingazzini ROMA 5-1 CAGLIARI Dellas 2 Suazo 31 Totti 6 (Pen) Perrotta 64 Montella 90, 92 Dellas took a boot to the face as he threw himself at De Agostino's corner and headed Roma into the lead. Totti blasted in a penalty. Patrick Swayze got Cagliari back in the match with another fantastic long range strike. Totti failed to take advantage of more charitable refereeing when missing a penalty. Perrotta restored Roma's two goal lead before Montella, on as a substitute for the disappointing Cassano, put them out of sight with two late, late goals. Attendance : 55,000 Assists : De Agostino (ck), De Rossi (won pen), Maltagliati, n/a, Mancini, n/a SIENA 1-1 BOLOGNA Chiesa 53 Cipriani 36 Tare's knockdown forced Fortin off line and Cipriani lobbed over him to give Bologna the lead. Chiesa hit a brilliant equaliser, he cut in from the left before curling the ball inside the top corner. Attendance : 8,000 Assists : Tare, Pecchia 30 October 2004 SAMPDORIA 0-1 MILAN Shevchenko 75 Shevchenko didn't start as he was with his wife the previous night when she gave birth to their first child, a boy they named Jordan - after Jordan from New Kids on the Block because their favourite song is Cover Girl, probably. Attendance : 30,000 Assist : n/a INTER 1-1 LAZIO Adriano 46 Talamonti 84 Seven draws in nine games isn't good enough. The first half was terrible the second was all Inter. Adriano scored 18 seconds into the restart when he outpaced Couto onto a Mihajlovic long ball. Talamonti got above Mihajlovic to head in Oddo's free kick and give Lazio a point they didn't deserve. Attendance : 67,000 Assists : Mihajlovic, Oddo (fk) R Mehdi |
