UDINESE | 2-4 |
LAZIO |
Di Natale 58 (Pen) |
Stendardo 18 |
|
Iaquinta 92 |
Mauri 49 |
|
Behrami 51 |
||
Rocchi 60 (Pen) |
||
Stendardo headed Lazio into the lead from a
Ledesma fee kick. Mauri tapped in the second after Rocchi volleyed a Ledesma free kick across goal. A brilliant reverse pass sent Rocchi down the left, he got between two defenders and whipped a cross into the box, Behrami took advantage of non existent marking to score his first goal of the season. Di Natale put away a charity penalty but Rocchi killed off any hopes of a comeback with a penalty of his own. Iaquinta, making a much quicker than expected recovery from a fractured cheekbone, scored a late consolation goal. Attendance : 10,000 Red Card : D'Agostino 71 (Udinese) Assists : Ledesma, Rocchi, Rocchi, n/a, Rocchi (won pen), Muntari (fk) |

ATALANTA | 2-2 |
FIORENTINA |
Loria 39 |
Reginaldo 27 |
|
Doni 65 (Pen) |
Pazzini 32 (Pen) |
|
Reginaldo raced onto a longball, and I do
mean long, out of defence before beating Calderoni with a blistering strike from a ridiculous angle. Pazzini followed up his Wembley hat-trick with a penalty against his former club. Loria headed in a Bernardini corner and Doni put away the second dodgy penalty of the match to equalise. Attendance : 13,000 Assists : Montolivo, Jorgensen (won pen), Bernardini (ck), Ventola |

CAGLIARI | 2-0 |
CHIEVO |
Biondini 12 |
|
|
Budel 24 |
|
|
|
||
Zoro had an inadvertent hand in both of
Cagliari's goal. Capone punished him for trying to shepherd a ball out of play by sliding into the box and hooking it back for Biondini to score from 12 yards. Budel's speculative shot took a wicked deflection off Zoro's back past a helpless Paoletti. Attendance : 10,000 Assists : Capone, n/a |
||
CHIEVO | 1-1 |
SAMPDORIA |
Brighi 32 |
Quagliarella 27 |
|
Quagliarella, who was only given a few
minutes on his international debut against the Jocks in mid-week, scored another incredible goal. Standing ahead of the centre circle with his back to play he turned onto a bouncing ball and let rip with a right foot half volley which sailed through the air and dropped over Squizzi's head into the net. Squizzi was ONLY standing about 6 yards off his line. Quagliarella's brilliance wasn't matched by his defence. Berti came off his line to attack a cross, Bogdani beat him to it, the ball bounced off the crossbar and Brighi put away the rebound. Attendance : 5,765 Assists : Volpi?, n/a |
||
EMPOLI | 4-1 |
ASCOLI |
Pozzi 44, 74 |
Soncin 50 |
|
Saudati 53 (Pen) | ||
Saudati 71 | ||
Nicola Pozzi, who has lost the use of his
right hand ring finger after deciding against surgery for a snapped tendon, did what I can only describe as mini Cryuff turn to wrong foot his marker in the box before slotting inside a post. Soncin punished a slack clearance to equalise before Saudati restored Empoli's lead from the penalty spot. Saudati ran through a half arsed Nastase challenge to score the third and three minute later Pozzi redirected Vannuchi's miss-hit volley past Eleftheropoulos. Attendance : 4,000 Red Card : Delvecchio 67 (Ascoli) Assists : Vannucchi, n/a, Busce' (won pen), Busce, Vannucchi |
||
INTER | 2-0 |
PARMA |
Maxwell 56 |
|
|
Crespo 70 |
|
|
Crespo picked up possession on the left flank
and played the ball inside to Maxwell, he dribbled past three players in the box before slamming a left foot shot into the roof of the net. Adriano used his considerable bulk to muscle his way past two players before unselfishly centring for Crespo to tap-in Inter's second. Attendance : 40,000 Assists : Crespo, Adriano |
||
LIVORNO | 4-1 |
CATANIA |
Lucarelli 20, 82 (Pen), 92 |
Sottil 14 |
|
Fiore 45 | ||
Sottil headed struggling Catania into the
lead from a Mascara corner. With his back to goal Lucarelli collected a pass from Morrone and was given plenty of time to turn, by the worst defence in the league, before shooting into the bottom right corner. On half time Sottil fell as he tried to kick the ball away from Fiore, Fiore kept his balance, turned and side footed past Pantanelli. Lucarelli scored his 100th Serie A goal (in 239 games) from the penalty spot which is a remarkable achievement given he has played for the likes of Atalanta, Lecce and Torino. Lucarelli completed his hat-trick with a fierce strike from the edge of the box to complete a dream debut for Livorno's new coach Fernando Orsi. Attendance : 5,641 Red Card : Baiocco 66 (Catania) Assists : Mascara (ck), Morrone, Pasquale, n/a, n/a |

TORINO | 0-0 |

ROMA | 1-1 |
MILAN |
Mexes 4 |
Gilardino 60 |
|
Roma surprised Milan with an aggressive
start, Cafu made a great block tackle on Mancini and Dida pulled off a superb save, for the first time in many, many months, from a De Rossi header. Totti played the resulting corner low across the box to Mexes and he hammered a superb first time shot into the top right corner. Gilardino replaced the once against disappointing Oliveira at half time and headed in the equaliser from a Pirlo free kick. Milan survived a Roma backlash but should have stolen the points late on but Gilardino missed from 10 yards after Kaka' sprung a counter attack. Roma had sponsorship on their shirts for the first time this season (Pepsi) but apparently it's a one off deal which seems ridiculous given they've got two matches with Man United this month. Nesta was back after a four month injury lay-off. Attendance : 50,000 Assists : Totti (ck), Pirlo (fk) |
