ASCOLI | 1-1 |
MILAN |
Cudini 58 |
Shevchenko 63 |
|
Milan wanted the match
abandoned due to a rain sodden pitch but the ref decided as the ball bounced (in some areas at least) it was ok to play on. Under these conditions goals were only likely from set pieces or long range and that's exactly what happened. Quagliarella headed Foggia's free kick into the ground, Dida parried but Cudini smashed in the rebound. The ball rolled away from Gilardino as he tried to turn onto Pirlo's pass, Shevchenko collected and 20 yards from goal sent a firm shot bouncing into the corner. Shevchenko should have won it for Milan but blazed over following a goalmouth scramble. Attendance : 23,000 Assists : n/a, Gilardino |

INTER | 3-0 |
TREVISO |
Adriano 32, 68, 79 | ||
Inter created about 300
chances before taking the lead on the half hour on a counter attack. Materazzi hit a monstrous long ball upto Adriano on the right flank, he brushed aside Lorenzi and ran into the box before beating Handanovic at his near post with a typically brutal shot. Adriano scored his second off a Stankovic cross and ten minutes later Pizarro laid on his hat-trick goal with a great run through the Treviso defence. Attendance : 51,542 Assists : Materazzi, Stankovic, Pizarro |

PARMA | 1-1 |
PALERMO |
Bresciano 48 |
Terlizzi 36 |
|
In a very entertaining
first half Terlizzi volleyed the visitors in front from a Corini free kick. Morfeo came on at the start of the second half and had an immediate impact. With the Palermo defence holding their line and anticipating a pass through the middle he found Pasquale unmarked wide on the left, he fired the ball into the box and Bresciano steered a right foot volley into the corner. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : Corini (fk), Pasquale |
||
REGGINA | 0-3 |
ROMA |
Mancini 30 |
||
De Rossi 46 |
||
Nonda 92 |
||
Mancini headed into the
net following a goalmouth scramble. De Rossi doubled the visitors advantage at the start of the second half when he threw himself at Totti's wayward free kick. Totti dissected the Reggina defence with a beautiful toe-poke pass, Nonda, on as a second half sub for the misfiring Montella, turned inside a defender before smashing the ball into the net. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : n/a, Totti (fk), Totti |
||
SIENA | 2-1 |
CAGLIARI |
Chiesa 45 (Pen), 58 |
Esposito 9 |
|
Esposito gave Cagliari a
shock lead (they failed to win away from home last season) when he ran onto Swayze's through pass, held off two defenders and fired into the corner. Siena were presented a gift of penalty when Chiesa fell (not dived) in the box. In the second half he tried his luck from range and Carini let the ball slip through his hands. Esposito came closest to equalising but his overhead kick was hacked off the line. Chiesa and Esposito would make an excellent front two for someone in need of goals, say like Newcastle for example. Attendance : 8,000 Assists : Suazo, Chiesa (won pen), Vergassola |

LIVORNO | 2-1 |
LECCE |
C Lucarelli 11 |
Pinardi 39 (Pen) |
|
Palladino 48 | ||
Fittingly last season's
top scorer, Lucarelli, who bizarrely may be headed to Spurs, scored the first goal of the season. He touched the ball away from a defender as he turned onto Centi's pass before crashing the ball into the corner. Pinardi equalised from the spot. Palladino restored Livorno's lead after Lucarelli had caused chaos in the box when holding up a long ball. Attendance : 14,000 Assists : Centi, Diamoutene (won pen), Lucarelli |
||
FIORENTINA | 2-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
Fiore 12 |
Jorgensen 74 (og) |
|
Toni 30 (Pen) | ||
This was the pick of the
week on fixtures and didn't disappoint. Toni ran onto Jorgensen's pass and hammered a low shot towards goal, Antonioli blocked the shot but it popped up and Fiore headed into an empty net. Toni converted a penalty after Castellini pulled him down in the box. The Fiorentina defence ball watched Samp launch cross after cross into the box, had their forwards not misfired they could have easily drawn level. Frey was beaten by Diana's scorching volley via a deflection off Jorgensen. Attendance : 35,854 Assists : n/a, Toni (won pen), n/a |
