| JUVENTUS | 1-1 |
FIORENTINA |
| Del Piero 62 |
Toni 47 |
|
| Zebina kicked Toni in the box to concede a 16
minute penalty but the traitor Abbiati saved from Jimenez. Giannichedda almost scored an own goal, deflecting Fiore's cross against a post. Toni made amends for a bad miss late in the first half when Juve tried to play offside as he volleyed Jimenez's pass wide of Abbiati. Del Piero turned onto Vieira's pass to equalise. Juve finished much stronger, Vieira headed against the crossbar and Ibrahimovic made his latest contribution to miss of the week. Attendance : 27,666 Assists : Jimenez, Vieira |

| CAGLIARI | 1-1 |
PALERMO |
| Suazo 45 |
Di Michele 94 |
|
| Suazo picked up the ball on the half way line
and ran through three players before finding the back of the net. He wasted threat great chances in the second half and also screwed up a pass which would have left a team-mate clear in front of goal. Cagliari would pay a heavy price, their defence allowed a longball to bounce in the box, forcing Chimenti off his line and Di Michele looped a header into the net. Attendance : 12,000 Assists : Budel, Rinaudo |
||
| EMPOLI | 2-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
| Busce 28, 47 |
Flachi 60 (Pen) |
|
| Busce scored from an acute angle after Tavano
forced Antoniolli into making a great save. Tavano ran across the edge of the box to chase down a pass and noticed Busce breaking into the box so hit a back heel half volley pass into the box, Busce met the ball as it dropped, shooting into the bottom corner. Flachi's theatrics won Samp a penalty but they never threatened a comeback. As Ancelotti has extended his contract with Milan I expect Donadoni will be Sampdoria coach next season - coaches in Italy cannot work for more than one club in a season. I don't understand how Novellino is still in charge. Attendance : 5,876 Assists : n/a, Tavano, Flachi (won pen) |

| MESSINA | 3-1 |
TREVISO |
| Floccari 13 |
Fava 14 |
|
| Maggio 71 (og) | ||
| Cottafava 72 (og) | ||
| A great cross left Floccari with an easy
header. Fava tapped in the equaliser from Vascak's pullback. Zancope made a string of excellent saves before he was finally beaten by cruel deflections off team-mates, sucks to be him and Treviso who are relegated. Attendance : 25,000 Assists : Sculli, Vascak, n/a, n/a |
||
| MILAN | 4-1 |
CHIEVO |
| Nesta 28 |
Pellissier 13 |
|
| Kaka' 62, 70 (Pen), 91 | ||
| Malago headed on a free kick and Pellissier
got in front of Cafu (I wish he was still injured, he's bloody useless) to volley Chievo into the lead. The Chievo defence charged down a Kaka' corner but he was quick to recover the ball and passed to Nesta, who was standing towards the right edge of the box, and he whipped the ball in off a post, great finish. Kaka' put away two rebounds either side of a penalty awarded for handball to complete his first Milan hat-trick. Milan delayed the start of the match for 10 minutes in protest of the mornings attack on Inter players at an airport. Shevchenko was rested ahead of Saturday's Milan derby. Attendance : 60,762 Assists : Malago, Kaka', n/a, n/a, n/a |
||
| PARMA | 4-0 |
REGGINA |
| Bresciano 12 | ||
| Simplicio 34 | ||
| Contini 65 (Pen) | ||
| Dessena 79 | ||
| Parma should have been awarded an early
penalty when a defender went through Simplicio as he tried to run onto a pass, the ref played the advantage and Bresciano shot into the bottom corner. Simplicio made it 2-0 after Marchionni turned Paredes before passing, normally he would dive looking for a penalty. Contini converted a penalty awarded for handball and Dessena completed Parma's most emphatic victory since the glory days with a goal on the break. Attendance : 13,500 Assists : n/a, Marchionni, n/a, Pasquale |
||
| ROMA | 3-1 |
LECCE |
| Mancini 20 (Pen), 73 |
Del Vecchio 91 |
|
| Chivu 23 | ||
| Mancini scored from the penalty spot and made
the second for Chivu from a corner. The ref gave Lecce a penalty for an apparent foul by Panucci. Pinardi shot wide of a post. Mancini made it 3-0 when Lecce screwed up offside. Del Vecchio headed in an injury time consolation goal. Attendance : 40,000 Assists : Cufre (won pen), Mancini (ck), Tommasi, Vucinic (fk) |
||
| SIENA | 2-3 |
LAZIO |
| Vergassola 24 |
Mauri 14 |
|
| Chiesa 40 |
Rocchi 22 |
|
|
Dabo 50 |
||
| Both of Lazio's first two goals were tap-ins
from rebounds. Vergassola began the comeback when he redirected Foglio's wayward shot past Ballotta. Siena hit the post twice and but deservedly got level after Chiesa combined with Bogdani. Liverani touched a free kick to Dabo and he blasted the ball inside the right post. Ballotta made three World Class saves for Lazio, Behrami and Rocchi wasted chances on the break. Attendance : 9,000 Assists : n/a, Zauri, Foglio, Bogdani, Liverani (fk) |

| 8 April 2006 | ||
| LIVORNO | 0-2 |
UDINESE |
|
Iaquinta 34 |
||
|
Natali 52 |
||
| Livorno appealed for offside as Felipe ran
onto Candela's pass, the defender centred, Iaquinta shot straight at Amelia but he couldn't hold on and Iaquinta poked in the rebound. Natali headed in a second from a corner. Attendance : 10,500 Assists : n/a, Di Natale (ck) |
||
| ASCOLI | 1-2 |
INTER |
| Ferrante 21 (Pen) |
Cruz 51 (Pen) |
|
|
Mihajlovic 56 (fk) |
||
| The appalling Farina gave two charity
penalties, almost certainly the one he gave to Inter was out of guilt for the first. Mihajlovic claimed the points with a stunning free kick. Coppola made two fantastic saves and Cruz was sent off for nothing. Farina is a downright embarrassment to Italian football. Hours after the match, about 2.30am in the car park of Milan's Malpensa airport, Inter players were attacked by men in masks. Cristiano Zanetti who didn't play last night nor has played much this season came off worst, with a few bruises. They should have attacked the referee instead. Attendance : 17,235 Red Card : Cruz 86 (Inter) Assists : Quagliarella (won pen), Martins (won pen), Cruz (won fk) |
