Corvia missed a chance to cancel out
Ariatti's 11th minute header when he slammed a penalty against a post. Siena got another chance from the spot three minutes into the restart and this time luck was on Vergassola's side as his shot flew in off the underside of the crossbar. Atalanta, without the inspirational Doni following a hernia operation, brought on Vieri as a second half substitute. With his back to goal about 50 yards from goal he juggled a pass off a thigh, turned and hit an incredible left foot volley which bounced over Manninger into the net. Carrozzieri, who gave away Siena's second penalty, headed in the third from a Bombardini free kick after Alberto and Bertotto earned themselves cheap second yellow cards.

Marchini 66 |
Muntari 43 |

Capone 84 |
|

Iaquinta, who surely cannot be at Udinese
next season, drew two defenders as he collected a pass on the right hand side of the box, fired in a centre and Muntari shot first time past Chimenti. Amateur hour defending from a corner gifted Cagliari the equaliser, Suazo touched back for Marchini to score from 12 yards. Trefoloni showed Iaquinta a ludicrous red card for a supposed elbow on Budel but to be fair to the Sardinians they were totally on top in the second half and his absence wouldn't have made a difference to the result. Capone scored a deserved winner when he drilled a loose ball through a packed penalty area. The victory doesn't quite secure Cagliari's Serie A status next season but almost certainly ends Udinese's hopes of claiming a UEFA Cup place. Attendance : 10,000 Red Card : Iaquinta 81 (Udinese) Assists : Iaquinta, Suazo, n/a |

CHIEVO | 1-0 |
PARMA |
Pellissier 5 |
|
|
|
||
Coly and Cigarini were absolutely floored but
two heavy tackles in midfield but Rizzoli let play continue and Semioli dribbled into the box before pulling the ball back to Pellissier who took a touch before hammering into the roof of the net. Chievo were well worth the three points and Rossi, the catalyst for Parma's remarkable recovery in recent weeks, had a very quiet game. Any one from eight teams could join Messina and Ascoli in Serie B next season so I'll wait until next week before commenting on the battle for survival. Attendance : 11,934 Assist : Semioli |

EMPOLI | 2-1 |
CATANIA |
Pozzi 23 |
Spinesi 28 |
|
Almiron 26 | ||
Pozzi raced onto a through pass leaving the
Catania defence in his wake before toe poking the ball past Pantanelli. Pantanelli was picking the ball out his net for a second time three minutes later. Almiron received a pass 35 yards and took a swing with his right foot and his low shot bobbled inside Pantanelli's left post. Spinesi crashed into a defender as he attacked Mascara's flick on to volley in his 16th of the season. Attendance : 4,000 Assists : Moro, Raggi, Mascara |

ROMA |
Tedesco 86 |
Totti 17 |
|
Cassetti 36 |
||
Totti gave Roma the lead with a magnificent
35 yard free kick. Perrotta ran through a Corini tackle as he made his way into the box before slipping a pass between two defenders for the onrushing Cassetti to shoot past Fontana. Curci, given a chance in the Roma goal ahead of the desperately average Doni, made a string of excellent saves before Tedesco beat him on a rebound. There was a bizarre incident after the end of this match, which was the last match in the Contro Campo highlights package. After a return to the studio an old man approached the centre of a large podium on which the presenter directs traffic in front of the panel and studio audience. He shouted something about Berlusconi before being lead away. This possibly has something to do with Inter moaning about the hysterical reaction some sections of the press and media (i.e. those owned by Berlusconi) have had following Milan's victory over Manchester United. "I complimented Gennaro Gattuso and Kaka on reaching the Champions League Final. What I will say is that being a club whose President owns 22 newspapers, what Milan does is praised more than the other sides." - Roberto Mancini Attendance : 24,680 Assists : Totti (won fk), Perrotta, n/a |
