|
Adriano 14, 58 (Pen) |
Samuel 83 (og) |
|
Seconds after Patrick threatened Inter on the
break, Stankovic hit a longball out of defence to Martins who showed all his pace and power to hold off Bizera and fire into the corner. Of course Martins should have been away on international duty with Nigeria but I'm guessing because Obbina had been called-up the Nigerian FA gave him an extra few days. Adriano tapped in a second after Zanetti charged down the right flank before pulling the ball back across the face of goal. Patrick was proving a real handful and after outstripping Zanetti onto a through pass centred for Esposito who beat Cesar with a precise first time shot. The ref gave Inter a complete gift of a penalty when Adriano, clear on goal, managed to lose his balance as he was about to pull the trigger. Samuel deflected Patrick's fiercely struck free kick past Cesar. If any coach is in the market for a striker then could do a hell of a lot worse than Suazo. This guy is so damn quick, so strong, an amazing dribbler and has the most explosive shot in the game. Attendance : 45,000 Assists : Stankovic, Zanetti, Suazo, Adriano (won pen), n/a |

LIVORNO | 2-2 |
SIENA |
Morrone 24 |
Locatelli 8 |
|
Tudor 52 (og) |
Chiesa 58 (Pen) |
|
Siena took the lead with an excellent goal.
Chiesa back-heeled to
D'Aversa, he hit a first time cross to the back post and Locatelli volleyed into the corner. Lucarelli helped set-up the equaliser when he chested down Coco's cross to Morrone. Tudor, under considerable pressure from Lucarelli, headed into his own net. Lucarelli conceded a penalty with a sloppy handball and Chiesa blasted into the bottom corner. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : D'Aversa, Lucarelli, n/a, n/a |

UDINESE | 2-2 |
TREVISO |
Motta 12 |
Pinga 33 (fk) |
|
Di Natale 72 (Pen) |
Dellafiore 57 |
|
Motta smashed Udinese into the lead after one
of Treviso's new signings, Guigou, got in his 'keepers way when he came for a cross. De Sanctis took a knock a few minutes later and was beaten by a Pingu free kick and made an uncharacteristic error on a corner to give Treviso a surprise lead. The ref gave Udinese a soft penalty and Di Natale sent Zancope' the wrong way and sparred Cosmi the sack, at least for another week. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : Tissone, ? (won fk), n/a, Di Natale (won pen) |

ASCOLI | 3-1 |
EMPOLI |
Ferrante 37 |
Almiron 45 |
|
Bjelanovic 70 | ||
Domizzi 77 (fk) | ||
Empoli goalkeeper Balli rushed off his line
to attack a free kick but missed the ball leaving Ferrante to head into an empty net. Almiron's brilliant header gave Empoli a scarcely deserved equaliser at half time. Bjelanovic restored Ascoli's lead with another great header, some of the crossing in this game was superb. Raggi was harshly sent off for pushing Bjelanovic and from the resulting free kick Domizzi fired past Coppola. Empoli pulled clear of the relegation zone a couple of months ago but a dreadful run of results has seen them sucked back in. Attendance : 9,000 Red Card : Raggi 75 (Empoli) Assists : Foggia (fk), Busce, Foggia, Bjealanoic (won fk) |
||
FIORENTINA | 2-1 |
CHIEVO |
Toni 35, 91 |
Zanchetta 70 (fk) |
|
Toni ended his mini goal drought with the
simplest of finishes after Lanna left him unmarked to tap-in Jorgensen's centre. Zanchetta equalised with what appeared to be a great free kick although Cejas was in goal. Toni headed in a deserved last minute winner from Pasquale's teasing cross. Attendance : 20,000 Assists : Jorgensen, n/a, Pasquale |

PARMA | 1-1 |
LAZIO |
Corradi 39 |
Rocchi 5 |
|
Couto gave the ball to Oddo on the edge of
the area with a terrible clearance, Oddo's shot took a couple of deflections and Rocchi reacted quickly to turn and shoot past Guardalben. Grella hit a long ball over the top of a Lazio defence attempting to play offside allowing Marchionni to race upfield and centre for Corradi to equalise. I have no idea why Couto is still playing professional football in fact I've never understood how he became a registered footballer, there should be an exam - he'd fail. Attendance : 13,734 Assists : n/a, Marchionni |

LECCE | 0-3 |
SAMPDORIA |
Diana 22 |
||
Del Vecchio 45 (og) |
||
Bazzani 48 |
||
Last week I said Sampdoria's mix of long
balls and crosses from the flanks were useless without Bonazzoli so this week Novellino stuck 6ft 2in Colombo in attack and he was the difference maker. He laid on the first by heading on Volpi's corner for Diana. After Samp doubled their lead with a with a deflected free kick, Colombo did a spot of ball juggling before passing to Bazzani and he ran between two defenders and beat Benussi with a horribly, weak girly shot. Attendance : 11,399 Assists : Colombo, n/a, Colombo |
