ASCOLI 1-4

LAZIO

Ferrante 30  

Stendardo 7

   

Oddo 12 (Pen)

   

Pandev 20

   

Rocchi 57

     
Stendardo scored his first Serie A goal from an Oddo free kick. Oddo converted a
penalty awarded for handball before threading Behrami's pass through to Pandev
who danced around the 'keeper and tapped into an empty net. Ferrante blew a
penalty which shouldn't have been awarded in the first place but got on the score
sheet minutes later with a blistering shot on the turn. Oddo made it a hat-trick of
assists with a cross from the right which Rocchi finished brilliantly.

FIORENTINA 5-2

REGGINA

Fiore 25  

Amoruso 81

Toni 28, 64  

Amoruso 84 (Pen)

Jorgensen 35    
Bojinov 65    
     
Bojinov slipped when attempting to gather a pass, leaving Fiore with a tap-in. Toni
re-directed a header from a corner and Jorgensen smacked in a third following a series
of deflections. Toni volleyed in his 30th goal of the season from Ujfalusi's cross.
Bojinov sprung Reggina's high offside trap to score Fiorentina's fifth and having
benefited from charitable defending upto that point they returned the favour in the
final ten minutes.

Barring Eto'o scoring 7 goals in his next two league games, Toni will become the first
Serie A player to win the golden boot.

Attendance : 38,500
Assists : Brocchi, Dainelli, n/a, Ujfalusi, Jimenez, Metso, Vigiani (won pen)
 
 
INTER 1-1

SIENA

Cruz 60  

Gastaldello 92

     
Mancini fielded a weakened side ahead of the second leg of the Coppa Italia final and
ditched his traditional 4-4-2 in favour of 4-3-3. It didn't work as Siena created almost
as many chances as Inter, Chiesa could have very easily scored a hat-trick. Cruz rifled
in a brilliant shot from the edge of the box. Inter went up a gear and should have
scored at least two more, Martins was guilty of missing an open goal. Mega flop
Burdisso talked himself into a red card. Three minutes later Guzman's corner was
emphatically headed into the net by Gastaldello.

Attendance : 42,000
Red Card : Burdisso 89 (Inter)

JUVENTUS 2-1

PALERMO

Nedved 31  

Godeas 62

Ibrahimovic 51    
     
Palermo failed to clear their lines after Camoranesi skipped round the back of their
defence and lobbed up a cross and Nedved slammed the ball into the back of the net.
Juve were playing some decent stuff and Nedved went close to scoring twice before
Ibrahimovic ended his near 3 month goal drought by showing all too rare composure.
He controlled Camoranesi's longball on his chest before shooting between Agliardi's
legs. Godeas caught Buffon with a stunning shot from the left and Makinwa missed a
great chance to equalise late on.

This was a novelty, a full house at the Delle Alpi. The Juventino held aloft a huge
banner in support of the three crooks that have been responsible for buying another
title for the club i.e. Bettega, Giraudo and that sorry son of a bitch Luciano Moggi.

MESSINA 1-2

EMPOLI

Nocerino 89  

Pozzi 2, 70

     
Pozzi intercepted a hospital pass and walked the ball into an empty net. The home fans
threw flares onto the pitch casing a brief suspension after 36 minutes. Pozzi flicked a
longball over Rezai and scoring via a deflection off the defender. The fans starting
throwing tomatoes onto the pitch. Empoli were lucky to finish the game with 11 men
after Pratali chopped down Cristante on the edge of the box, the ref played the
advantage as Nocerino ran onto the ball and scored a consolation game. More objects
rained down onto the pitch and the ref blew before full time which means the match
is officially suspended and will be awarded 0-3 to Empoli.

Attendance : 4,000

PARMA 2-3

MILAN

Corradi 54, 88  

Kaka' 29 (Pen)

   

Cafu 44

   

Seedorf 56

     
De Lucia tripped Inzaghi to concede a penalty. After Kaka' converted Bucci, who is
Parma's regular 'keeper, got into a heated argument with his coach presumably
because he was dropped (like he would have made a difference). Milan slacked off
and were lucky not to concede an immediate equaliser. Somewhat against the run
of play Cafu made it 0-2. Kaka' hit a pass to Gilardino, he stepped over the ball and
Cafu pushed the ball into the corner. The problem with Cafu in recent years is that
defensively he's a liability. He failed to get tight on Corradi as he turned in slow
motion onto Marchionni's pass to score. Pirlo touched a free kick to Seedorf and he
hit a tremendous rising shot which flew into the top left corner. Kaka' curled a shot
against the post and wasted another chance on the break. A magnificently weighted
lob from Morfeo caught Nesta on the back foot and Corradi headed in his second.
There was still time for Gilardino to waste a chance on the break.

Attendance : 22,000
Assists : Inzaghi (won pen), Kaka', Marchionni, Pirlo (fk), Morfeo
 
 
ROMA 1-0

TREVISO

Tommasi 36    
     
16 year old giant Okaka got a rare start ahead of the Coppa Italia final and had an
amazing game, creating and scoring several chances. If Wenger was watching he'd get
an erection.

In order to claim 4th place Roma need to beat Milan at the San Siro. If Fiorentina at
Chievo 4th place is theirs. If they draw and Roma win both teams will finish on
72 points and I their head to head results are both draws I have no idea what will
happen.

Attendance : 40,000
Assist : Okaka
 
 
UDINESE 2-0

CAGLIARI

Iaquinta 15    
Barreto 68    
     
Suazo missed a great chance to give Cagliari the lead. He darted between two
defenders onto a through pass but shot against the inside of a post and missed the
rebound, the ball fell to Capone but with the entire goal to aim at he shot wide.
Tissone hit a diagonal pass out wide to Di Natale, he teased a defender before hitting
a low cross into the box which Iaquinta slammed into the bottom corner. Barreto,
who was desperately unlucky to hit a post earlier, made it 2-0 from a superb Di Natale
pass. An out of shape Al-Saadi Gheddafi made his Udinese debut and almost scored
what would have been an amazing goal, forcing Chimenti into a great save from a
snapshot volley.
