LAZIO | 3-1 |
EMPOLI |
Pandev 8 |
Almiron 93 |
|
Rocchi 27 | ||
Manfredini 74 | ||
It only took Lazio, whose football is light
years ahead of from the absolute garbage they played under Eriksson, 8 minutes to take the lead. Mauri poked a ball over the top of the Empoli defence, Pandev raced clear and sent a 30 yard lob over Balli who was stranded on the penalty spot. Lazio made it 2-0 with one of their trademark rapid fire counter attacks. From the centre circle Rocchi volleyed a pass forward to Mauri, he raced upfield before centring to Pandev, swarmed by two defenders he couldn't make room for a shot so rolled the ball wide to former Empoli striker Rocchi who hit a superb first time shot into the roof of the net. Empoli were threatening an equaliser then suddenly Manfredini unleashed a left foot missile which flew in off a post. Vannucchi touched an in- direct free kick back to Almiron and he blasted the ball through the Lazio wall via a deflection. Attendance : 28,000 Assists : Mauri, Pandev, Makinwa, n/a |

ASCOLI | 1-2 |
INTER |
Bonanni 93 (Pen) |
Ibrahimovic 65, 73 |
|
Inter were struggling until Adriano came off
the bench in the second half and set-up both goals for Ibrahimovic. The first from a left wing cross Maicon would have been proud of, finished off with a right foot volley. He found the giant Swede unmarked in front of goal with a through pass and he shot between Eleftheropoulos' legs. Banana converted an injury time penalty awarded for Samuel's dangerous challenge on Bjelanovic. Attendance : 4,800 Assists : Adriano, Adriano, Bjelanovic (won pen) |

CAGLIARI | 0-2 |
CHIEVO |
Brighi 50 |
||
Bogdani 55 |
||
|
||
Brighi scored a tap-in after Fortin parried
from Bogdani. Five minutes later Semioli lobbed a pass over the Cagliari defence to Pellissier and with Fortin approaching he jumped in the air, volleyed the ball over to the back post and Bogdani tapped in. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : n/a, Pellissier |
||
CATANIA | 1-4 |
REGGINA |
Rossini 90 |
Amoruso 58 |
|
Foggia 62 |
||
Bianchi 85 (Pen) |
||
Esteves 88 |
||
Modesto skipped a tackle as he ran into the
box and pulled the ball back for Amoruso to shoot Reggina into the lead. Foggia, criminally underused by Milan, picked up the ball in his own half and as he got inside the centre circle he let rip with a shot which sailed in the air before bouncing between Pantanelli's legs as he put out his arms to catch it. Bianchi continued his battle with Totti for the Capocannoniere title with a penalty before setting up Esteves for the fourth. Rossini scored a nice but irrelevant consolation goal as Catania's relegation form continues. I'm surprised Pasquale Marino hasn't been sacked. Attendance : n/a Assists : Mesto, ?, Amoruso, Bianchi, Baiocco |

TORINO |
Muzzi 26 |
||
Rosina 77 (Pen) |
||
Stellone 85 |
||
Midget Rosina rescued an over hit cross by
heading the ball back to it's intended target Muzzi, yes the ancient Roberto Muzzi, and he headed in his first goal for six months. Rosina nonchalantly converted a gift of a penalty, I'm sure he'll end up at Juventus. Stellone sealed Torino's third win in four games, following the re-appointment of Gianni Di Biasi as coach, from a Gallo corner. Attendance : 12,000 Assists : Rosina, Rosina (won pen), Gallo (ck) |

|

Di Natale 69 | ||
Barreto 83 (Pen) | ||
Di Natale blasted Udinese into the lead with a lovely goal, controlling Asamoah's header on his chest before rifling a volley into the net. Three minutes later Asamoah's speculative shot took a deflection off Rezai wrong footing Amelia in the Livorno goal. Di Natale made sure there would be no comeback from Livorno this week when he took advantage of static defender from the Livorno centre backs to blast in the third. Barreto completed Udinese's most emphatic victory of the season from the penalty spot. Attendance : 14,000 Assists : Asamoah, n/a, D'Agostino, Barreto (won pen) |

SAMPDORIA | 1-1 |
PALERMO |
Quagliarella 56 |
Cavani 53 |
|
Cavani's reward for his outstanding goal in
his debut performance against Fiorentina last week was his first start and he rewarded Guidolin with a superbly placed flick header from 12 yards. A dreadful mistake gifted Sampdoria the equaliser. Pieri hit a long ball forward, Barzagli left it for his goalkeeper to deal with, Agliardi came off his line and with Quagliarella advancing hesitated as he was about to boot the ball upfield, he slipped and Quagliarella tapped into an empty net. Attendance : 18,000 Assists : Casani, Pieri |
