Lecce took the lead on the half hour mark after Massimo Gobbi's woeful backpass was intercepted by David Di Michele only for Massimo Paci to clear off the line. Ignacio Piatti picked up the ball who was then fouled by Alessandro Lucarelli allowing Jeda to convert the penalty. Sebastian Giovinco had to be removed at half time due ...

Parma were the first to hit the back of the net on twenty minutes however it was disallowed due to Valeri Bojinov straying into an offside position.

Leaving Sebastian Giovinco's superb freekick as little more than a consolation goal. Catania took the lead after 12 minutes from the penalty spot where after chaos in the box Massimo Paci was adjudged to have Nicolas Spolli's shirt resulting in Mascara duly converting the spot kick.
