PARMA | 1-2 |
INTER |
Budan 27 |
Ibrahimovic 15 |
|
Cruz 92 |
||
Vieira chipped a ball into Ibrahimovic who
was standing with his back to goal on the edge of the D, Cannavaro Jr did his best to pull the giant Swede down but Ibrahimovic ignored him as he juggled the ball off his chest, flicked it to his right then turned and fired a volley into the bottom corner. Budan took advantage of some abysmal non marking by Materazzi to volley Parma level from Bocchetti's cross. Inter struggled to get out of first gear until a bad miss by Muslimovic spurred them up. De Lucia, on for the injured Bucci, made a an unbelievable one handed save to deny fellow substitute Cruz. He tipped Solari's drive against the inside of a post, the ball bounced along the line and landed at Ibrahimovic's feet and he proceeded to miss the type of chance only he can miss, hitting the side netting with the entire goal to aim at just two inches from the line. De Lucia made another brilliant point blank save from Cruz but he was betrayed by Contini who sliced the ball back at him and Cruz smashed it into the roof of the net. Ibrahimovic earned a second yellow for kicking the ball away having earlier been booked for dissent. Ability by God, brain by Mattel. Attendance : 21,900 Red Card : Ibrahimovic 94 (Inter) Assists : Vieira, Bocchetti, n/a |

|
Caserta 61 |
Paulinho 59 |
|
Corona 90 |
|
|
Spinesi stabbed Vargas's poorly struck volley
past Amelia. Edusei fell over after Vigiani ran into the back of him, the ref let it go, Bakayoko collected the ball, danced past two defenders and blasted into the left corner. Paulinho fired a ball through a ruck of players after Vigiani flicked on a corner then was immediately substituted. Seconds later Caserta got hold of a loose ball and sent a shot bouncing past Amelia. Livorno never recovered and following sustained pressure from the home, a side a mix-up in their defence allowed Corona to score on the rebound via a deflection. Attendance : 20,000 Assists : Vargas, n/a, Vigiani, n/a, n/a |

LAZIO | 5-0 |

Rocchi 32 |
|
|
Mauri 41, 74 | ||
Oddo 78 (fk) | ||
Rocchi 82 | ||
Ledesma hit a first time pass upto Rocchi, he
brought the ball under control before beating the advancing De Sanctis with an exquisite lob. Mauri put Lazio 2-0 up with an athletic diving header from an Oddo free kick and blasted in a second with a brilliant left foot volley. Felipe got a second yellow for bringing down Foggia and from the resulting free kick Oddo curled the ball inside a post, another fabulous goal. Rocchi capped off a dazzling display by dribbling the ball 50 yards and lobbing over De Sanctis. Attendance : 21,300 Red Card : Felipe 77 (Udinese) Assists : Ledesma, Oddo (fk), n/a, Foggia (won fk), Zauri |

MESSINA | 2-2 |
CAGLIARI |
Cordova 35 (fk) |
Esposito 53 |
|
Rigano 64 |
Conti 93 |
|
Cagliari rode out incessant early pressure
before falling behind to a 40 yard free kick. Cordova's shot took an evil bounce in front of Chimenti and flew in off the inside of his right post. Esposito ran onto a longball before volleying between George's legs, he should have saved. Messina also went route one to restore their lead, Rigano taking advantage of a lucky bounce off the back off a defender. George made two brilliant saves before Conti beat him with a cross that missed all his team-mates but dropped inside the top left corner of the goal. Attendance : 18,000 Assists : De Vezze (won fk), Conti, n/a, Langella |

PALERMO | 3-0 |
TORINO |
Corini 43 |
|
|
Di Michele 68 |
|
|
Amauri 79 |
|
|
|
||
Corini, who in past seasons would rarely
venture further than the half way line, swept in a wayward effort from Simplicio having been denied minutes earlier by an incredible Abbiati save. Simplicio sent Di Michele racing clear on the half way line to score his fifth goal of the season. The part-time Italy striker could have had a hat-trick then got bored of missing chances and threaded a pass through to Amauri who beat Abbiati with a crisp first time shot. Only two weeks until Palermo vs Inter. Both teams can't defend but are scoring for fun. I can't imagine that one ending up 0-0. Attendance : 26,600 Assists : Simplicio, Simplicio, Di Michele |

SAMPDORIA | 3-0 |
CHIEVO |
Bonazzoli 18 |
|
|
Quagliarella 28, 36 |
|
|
After Obbina provided a few highlights (he
should be playing for a G14 club) Bonazzoli headed Samp into the lead from Pieri's cross. Quagliarella turned onto Pieri's pass before beating Sicignano with a looping shot. Mandelli got caught ball watching inside his box and motioned for his 'keeper to bail him out so Sicignano rushed off his line, crashed into him and Quagliarella gathered the ball, worked an opening and passed into an empty net. Cossato was sent off for handball. I would have put money on Quagliarella making the Italy squad, especially as none of Italy's regular strikers, apart from the injured Toni, are playing well. Attendance : 18,000 Red Card : Cossato 50 (Chievo) Assists : Pieri, Pieri, n/a |

Mutu 26 |
Migliaccio 25 |
|
Pazzini 89, 94 |
|
|
Doni hit a free kick against Pasquale and as
several players, including Migliaccio, appealed for handball, Migliaccio quickly put his hand down and kicked the ball into the net. Mutu fired in the equaliser a minute later after Pazzini forced Calderoni into a point blank save. Pazzini missed two absolute sitters and Mutu had a goal disallowed for offside. Pazzini missed another chance, shooting straight at Calderoni however the ball rebounded back to him and this time he kept his composure to finally score. He added a cheap injury time second after the visitors stood waiting for the ref to stop play for an injury to a team-mate. Attendance : 30,337 Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, Donadel |

MILAN | 1-2 |
ROMA |
Brocchi 56 |
Totti 6, 82 |
|
Taddei intercepted a half arsed clearance
from Nesta in the Milan penalty area, flicked the ball over Maldini and crossed for Totti to swivel a volley past Dida. It was largely one way traffic after that with both Seedorf and Oliveira hitting the woodwork and Gilardino going close. Brocchi, who will get plenty of playing time now that Gattuso is sidelined, equalised with an absolute piledriver from 30 yards. Brocchi's goal prompted Roma into action. Dida had to be at his very best to keep up a ferocious strike from Aquilani and Totti hammered a shot off a post. Seedorf lost possession deep in his own half, Aquilani, who had his back to play, hit a brilliant pass with the Baggio chip the ball over your leg trick (aka the Rabona but I refuse to use that name because it's so f*cking gay) to Mancini, he chipped a first time pass over to the back post and Totti powered a standing header past Dida to give Roma their first league victory in the San Siro for almost 20 years. Attendance : 55,322 Assists : Taddei, Kaka', Mancini |
