Fiorentina 1 - 0 Genoa

Review:


Alberto Santana scored the only goal of the game as Fiorentina leap frogged Genoa in the Serie A table. Santana stabbed home from a tight angle five minutes before half-time as the hosts ended the day one point above their opponents and in 11th.

Palermo 2 - 1 Juventus
Miccoli 7’         Marchisio 36’
Migliaccio 20’

Review:

The pressure continues to build on Juventus manager Luigi Del Neri after his side lost 2-1 to Palermo tonight.Despite dominating most of the game, the Bianconeri could not add to Claudio Marchisio's 36th-minute strike to complete a comeback after Fabrizio Miccoli and Giulio Migliaccio had scored to give Palermo an early two-goal lead.

Parma 0 - 1 Lecce
                    Chevantón 90’


Review:


Substitute Ernesto Chevanton stole all three points for Lecce with an injury-time header at Parma.
Parma dominated the encounter but failed to turn their pressure into goals. Just when it looked as the two sides would share the spoils, the South American Chevanton scored to lift Lecce into 16th place and three points clear of the drop zone.

Review:

Napoli’s Scudetto dreams took a huge blow as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Chievo Verona at the Stadio Marco’Antonio Bentegodi on Wednesday. Goals from Davide Moscardelli and Gennaro Sardo earned an efficient victory for Stefano Pioli’s side as Napoli remain five points off leaders Milan.

Cesena 1 - 1 Catania
Jiménez 31’    López 9’


 Review:

Cesena and Catania both remain in a precarious position in Serie A after they shared a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi. Maxi Lopez opened the scoring for the visitors in the eighth minute before Luis Jimenez levelled just after the half-hour.
Emanuele Giaccherini had a good chance to win the game for Cesena when he was one-on-one with the goalkeeper but he failed to convert his shot which Mariano Andujar saved with his legs.

Sampdoria 0 - 1 Cagliari 
                           Nainggolan 37’


Review:


Cagliari won this match thanks to a magnificient goal from the belgian Nainggolan.
Sampdoria fell to defeat at home to Cagliari amid the protests of the Blucerchiati fans against the sale of Giampaolo Pazzini and Antonio Cassano this winter. A stunning individual goal from Radja Nainggolan in the 37th minute earned the Sardinians all three points at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The result was Samp's third defeat in a row and their president Riccardo Garrone was forced to hear the fans' anger at his sale of their biggest assets last month, with Cassano having joined AC Milan and Pazzini Inter Milan. It could have been a better night for Samp had Daniele Mannini not shot over the crossbar from just eight yards out early on.

Udinese 1 - 1 Bologna 
Domizzi 77'     Di Vaio 65’


Review:


Last season around this time Udinese were bracing themselves for a lengthy battle with relegation, now they are flirting with the idea of playing in Europe. The Bianconeri's turnaround has been as much romantic as encouraging; for a side of their modest resources and means they are doing extremely well in rubbing shoulders with Italy's big boys.At the weekend Udinese got the better of Juventus 2-1 in Turin and it was the second successive match in which they had humbled an Italian giant. Prior to that victory they had punctuated Italian and European champions Inter's five-game winning streak by dismissing them 3-1 in Udine and have won four of their five league encounters in January, drawing the other one.The Bianconeri are unbeaten at the Stadio Friuli since September 19 and have won their last six games at home, and against a Bologna side terribly poor on the road, they will be expected to win. Udinese are currently sixth in the league standings with 36 points from 22 matches, but coach Francesco Guidolin has urged his players not to let this success dance into their heads.

AS Roma 1 - 1 Brescia
Borriello 58’      Éder 69’


Review:

Roma were forced to settle with a draw as Brescia came from behind to secure only their 5th point on the road. Claudio Ranieri was left frustrated with his team as they surrendered their lead, leaving them 9 points behind league leaders AC Milan, with just one game in hand.

Marco Borriello took advantage of some hesitant defending lashing in a precise shot that went in off the upright.Roma looked like doubling their lead as the game progressed but Brescia were able to stun the home fans when they equalized through Eder , whose header flew pass a stranded Julio Sergio.
