As you would expect it was party time at the
San Siro with giant banners in the stands, balloons and the players entering the field with their kids and holding aloft a flag with 15 (the number of scudetto won by Inter) at the end of the match. Cambiasso back heeled a Recoba pass out wide to Cruz and he hammered inside the post. Inter stepped off the gas early in the second half and Empoli, chasing a European spot, were rewarded for their aggression with the equaliser. Almiron sold Maicon a dummy before passing to Saudati on edge of the box and he beat Julio Cesar, who had earlier made incredible saves from Pozzi and Saudati, with a precise shot. Recoba did a Veron and scored direct from a corner. Empoli lost possession on the edge of their box, Cambiasso played the ball to Stankovic and he fired into the corner. Julio Cesar is developing into a World Class goalkeeper. What he lacks right now is presence. Attendance : 61,839 Assists : Cambiasso, Almiron, n/a, Cambiasso |

ASCOLI | 2-3 |
REGGINA |
Fini 15 (fk) |
Amoruso 24, 32 |
|
Bonanni 82 |
Foggia 52 |
|
Fini gave Ascoli the lead with a brilliant
free kick. Reggina hit back with a 6 minute brace from Amoruso. He met former Ascoli midfielder Foggia's cross with a bullet header, Eleftheropoulos made a fantastic save but as he parried the ball it caught his left foot, it popped up in the air and Amoruso was first to the rebound. Put through by Tedesco the former Juventus striker ran into the box, held off his marker and beat Eleftheropoulos at his near post. Reggina's third was high comedy and the type of goal you only see in Serie A. An Ascoli defender, not sure who, was wrestling with Amoruso and I do mean wrestling, he had pulled the striker's shirt almost all the way up his back then dragged him down leaving Foggia with a clear run on goal. Bonanni scored a brilliant 2nd for the home side. Both his feet left the ground as he let rip from 25 yards, sending the ball screaming into the top corner. Bianchi should have given Reggina some breathing space three minutes later but blew a penalty. Attendance : 6,000 Red Card : Minieri 87 (Ascoli) Assists : Soncin (won fk), n/a, Tedesco, Lucarelli, Fini |

LIVORNO | 1-2 |
PALERMO |
Cesar 57 (Pen) |
Corini 47 (Pen) |
|
Di Michele 75 |

|
||
Corini gave his new coach Renzo Gobbi, who
replaced Francesco Guidolin earlier in the week, a perfect start from the penalty spot. Cesar converted an equally debatable penalty in the absence of the suspended Lucarelli. Corini miss-controlled a deflected through pass, the ball bounced towards Cavani and with his back to goal the youngster nonchalantly flicked the ball wide to Di Michele and with perfect synchronisation three Livorno defenders raised their hands appealing for offside leaving Di Michele to lift the ball over Livorno's reserve goalkeeper Manitta. Attendance : 6,000 Assists : Di Michele (won pen), Morrone (won pen), Cavani |

CAGLIARI |
Budan 29 |
Conti 67 |
|
Gasbarroni 76 (Pen) | ||
Parma broke from defending a corner, Rossi
weaved his way past two Cagliari players before sliding a pass through to Budan, he feigned to shoot just as he was about to make contact with the ball, Chimenti moved to his left and Budan shot into the opposite corner. Conti thumped in the equaliser from the edge of the box. Gasbarroni made it three successive wins for Parma from the spot after Bianco handled in the box. Attendance : 15,000 Assist : Rossi, Pepe, n/a |

SAMPDORIA |
Maggio 39 |
||
Del Vecchio 89 |
||
Parola fired in a cross from the left,
Quagliarella flicked the ball to Maggio and he spun his marker before connecting with a low scissor kick which flew into the top corner. Brilliant goal. Del Vecchio scored Samp's second on the break. He could have easily went down in the box under a poor challenge from Rinaudo but stayed on his feet and picked his spot seconds before another Siena defender, Portanova, ran him over. Attendance : 6,500 Assists : Quagliarella, n/a |
