  • Fiorentina-Milan

      Paolo Maldini is hugged by every member of the Milan side as the game reaches full-time, the legendary captain and defender is clearly quite taken aback by the adoration!

    90'’ Pavel Nedved receives a raptuous ovation as he departs the scene, with Juventus winning 2-0 against Lazio: the Czech waits in the tunnel to acknowledge the applause.

    88'’ Nicola Ventola pulls a goal back for Torino, but it is too little too late, as Roma look to have this game sealed at this late stage.

  • Udinese-Cagliari

    81'’ Quagliarella extends Udinese's lead to 5-2 against Cagliari, whose shambolic defence lets in the forward, who collects Pepe's pass to finish.

    81'’ Inter have turned this match around! Hernan Crespo feeds Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who produces an audacious backheel to put the hosts in front - exquisite finish!

    80'’ Cambiasso produces a clinical strike from the edge of the area to level things up at 3-3 for Inter, with Atalanta switching off temporarily.

    59'’ Sampdoria equalise at 2-2, with Stankevicius getting the goal to level things up Renzo Barbera.

  • Genoa-Lecce

    68'’ Marco Di Vaio scores for Bologna, who look to be cementing their Serie A status at the expense of Torino now!

  • Genoa-Lecce

    67'’ Genoa have their fourth of the afternoon, and crucially, as it stands they would move above Fiorentina into fourth spot! Milito is again the man who gets the goal from Borre's through ball.

  • Juventus-Lazio

    59'’ GOAL!!! Juventus double their lead against Lazio, and it is that man Pavel Nedved who supplies the through ball which Iaquinta rolls past Juan Pablo Carrizo.

  • Udinese-Cagliari

    58'’ Giovanni Pasquale restores Udinese's two-goal cushion, and the home side should hold off Cagliari now. Gokhan Inler roled the ball across for an easy tap in.

  • Fiorentina-Milan

    56'’ The deadlock is finally broken at Artemio Franchi after Kaka stole in to the area and stroked home an easy finish from a fine ball out on the right by David Beckham. That goal could put Fiorentina in trouble with Genoa winning.

  •   So as it stands at half time, Fiorentina will hold on to the fourth Champions League spot, ahead of Genoa, while Bologna are looking as if their safety will be secured at the expense of Torino.

  •   Pavel Nedved was also handed a start in his final game for Juventus, who lead Lazio through Vincenzo Iaquinta's early strike. Click here to read about the Czech star's exit

  • Roma-Torino

    36'’ Roma equalise through Jeremy Menez, and that is a disaster for Torino, who need to win, while Bologna are looking comfortable in their game. It was a fine goal from the edge of the area by Menez, who struck the ball very cleanly.

  • Genoa-Lecce

    32’ GOAL!! Simone Tiribocchi equalises for Lecce, who fell behind early against Genoa, and after Giuseppe Vives fed him the ball, the bottom corner was the only target.

  • Inter-Atalanta

    12'’ GOAL!! Zlatan Ibrahimovic regains Inter's lead, latching on to Cambiasso's pass to beat Consigli in the Atalanta goal.

  • Inter-Atalanta

    10'’ Cristiano Doni equalises for Atalanta, and that goal has shocked the San Siro, with Inter looking to have been coasting.

  • Udinese-Cagliari

    15'’ Antonio Floro Flores drills a fierce right-footed shot from inside the area to give Udinese a three-goal cushion, and this threatens to be a rout now!

  • Udinese-Cagliari

    11'’ Simone Pepe doubles Udinese's lead a minute later, and the hosts are absolutely flying! Pepe found the bottom corner from inside the box.

  • Udinese-Cagliari

    10'’ Kwadwo Asamoah has given Udinese a deserved early lead against Cagliari at Ciampi, and he found the top corner from the edge of the area - superb stuff.

  • Roma-Torino

    9'’ Tommaso Vailatti stuns Roma, giving Torino the lead, and the visitors join Bologna in setting themselves on course for a crucial win!

  • Napoli-Chievo

    8'’ Mariano Bogliacino doubles Napoli's lead with a left-footed strike into the top corner - what a start for the hosts, Chievo look inept.

  • Palermo-Sampdoria

    8'’ Fabrizio Miccoli gives Palermo an early lead with a crisp finish, but the keeper really should have done better, diving down low to his right.

  • Bologna-Catania

    5'’ Bologna take the lead through Nicola Mingazzini, who blasts the ball into the net emphatically from 25 yards out - superb strike from the midfielder!

  • Napoli-Chievo

    4'’ Francesco Montervino scores for Napoli in the fourth minute, and it is a very well taken goal from the left back, sliding the ball past Aldegani.

  • Juventus-Lazio

    3'’ Vincenzo Iaquinta breaks the deadlock in just the third minute for Juventus, who are hosting Lazio, and it was a very clinical right-footed finish from the tall striker.

  • 1'’ The matches are all underway, and we await the impending flurry of goals!

  •   Elsewhere, 18th-placed Torino have a goal difference which is two better than Bologna, who are perilously close to falling into the relegation zone, level on points.

  • Fiorentina-Milan

      Fiorentina are clinging on to the fourth Champions League spot, with Genoa three points behind, including a goal-difference three goals inferior to Milan's opponents.

  •   Luis Figo is playing his final game as he brings a glittering career to a close, with Internazionale facing Atalanta, while Pavel Nedved is representing Juventus for the final time against Lazio.
