MILAN |
| Milan had more possession and the best (only
chances). Shevchenko draw a stunning point blank save from Buffon after good work by Pirlo and Serginho. A poor first touch allowed Buffon to close down Inzaghi and the striker missed an open goal, slipping as he tried to shoot following a mix-up between Buffon and Zebina. Same story in the second half, another chance spurned because of a poor first touch. Buffon saved from Gattuso and on the follow-up Milan had weak penalty appeals turned down after Nesta's shot hit Emerson on the arm. Gattuso was sent off for a second bookable offence on Nedved, who took a decent kicking from several Milan players. This was the most tedious match between the two clubs since that European Cup final and I have no idea what on Earth Italian TV found to talk about and analyse for an hour. Attendance : 45,000 Red Card : Gattuso 70 (Milan) Assist : n/a |

ROMA |
| Quagliarella 20 |
Taddei 72 |
|
| Paci 24 |
Comotto 74 (og) |
|
| Budan 42 | ||
| Budan pressured De Rossi into losing a ball
in his own half then passed wide to Fini, two defenders failed to cut out his centre leaving youngster Quagliarella with a tap-in. Foggia hit a devilish free kick to the back post and Paci profited from static defending to head in Ascoli's second. Roma were giving the home side grief from set pieces but they held firm and hit Roma on the break. Fini threaded a ball through to Quagliarella who, having seen Curci stray off his line, hit a magnificent first time lob upto Budan who headed into an empty net. Roma were creating a million chances and Taddei eventually took one of the them, tapping in Alvarez's cross. Comotto sliced a cross past his own 'keeper to set up a tense finish. Mancini missed an easy header while Ascoli twice went close on the break. Attendance : 22,000 Red Card : Chivu 89 (Roma) Assists : Fini, Foggia (fk), Quagliarella, Alvarez, n/a |

| EMPOLI | 2-1 |
CHIEVO |
| Rigano 71 |
Brighi 82 |
|
| Tavano 79 |
|
|
| Having coped well with several first half
crosses Chievo switched off late on and paid the price. Busce, who is very good attacking full back, made both goals. Rigano barely moved to head in his cross, Tavano controlled another on his chest before acrobatically volleying into the bottom corner. Brighi scored with an incredible lob, no doubt helped by the wind. Attendance : 5,000 Assists : Busce, Busce, Semioli |

| LAZIO | 3-1 |
REGGINA |
| Di Canio 25 |
Amoruso 70 |
|
| Rocchi 35 | ||
| Pandev 68 | ||
| Lazio were playing some lovely slick football
and given the ease in which they were creating chances it was only a matter of time before they took one of them. Rocchi passed to Zauri before heading for the box, Zauri played the ball into Liverani, Rocchi ran onto his lay-off, held off a defender and pulled the ball back to Di Canio who scored with an amazing first time toe poke. Pandev tried his luck from the edge of the box, the ball took a deflection off Modesto, Di Canio plucked it out of the air and Rocchi fired into the net. Pandev smashed in a third after Reggina failed to clear a cross. Amoruso headed in a late consolation goal. There were adverts for Benny Cricket on the hoardings. It's an adventure playground for kids. Excellent. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : Rocchi, Di Canio, Liverani, Mesto |

| MESSINA | 2-1 |
LECCE |
| Rullo 26 (og) |
Babu 42 |
|
| Nanni 85 | ||
| Although Rullo scored the own goal his
'keeper was entirely at fault for slapping the ball against him when parrying a shot. Babu scored a fine equaliser. He picked up a loose ball in midfield and went past two players before curling inside a post. A mistake by Lecce's reserve goalkeeper Rosati (Benussi went off him a muscle injury) cost Lecce a point. He committed the cardinal sin of forgetting to close his legs as Nanni shot and how often has failing to close your legs gotten you into trouble? Exactly. Attendance : 15,000 Assists : n/a, n/a, Floccari |

| PALERMO | 2-0 |
UDINESE |
| Di Michele 52 | ||
| Tedesco 64 | ||
| Di Michele predictably scored against his
former with a stunning free kick. Mutarelli flicked on a free kick and Tedesco powered a header into the roof of the net. Agliardi made a brilliant late save from Muntari. Attendance : 25,792 Assists : Terlizzi (won fk), Mutarelli |

| PARMA | 2-1 |
LIVORNO |
| Simplicio 37 (Pen) |
Bakayoko 49 (Pen) |
|
| Bresciano 81 | ||
| Marchionni's dive allowed Parma to take the
lead from the penalty spot. Paparesta, possibly realising he made a mistake, evened things up by giving Livorno a penalty for 'handball'. Marchionni dropped a cross right onto the feet of the hopeless Corradi and from the edge of the six yard box he managed to screw his show wide luckily for him Bresciano arrived at the back post to slam the ball past Amelia. Attendance : 11,000 Assists : Marchionni (won pen), n/a, Corradi |
