Catania vs. Chievo

Giampiero Pinzi was suspended in addition to the injured Luca Rigoni and Fabio Moro, but Mario Yepes returned after an appeal to halve his two-match ban. Catania caused Inter some trouble on Sunday, but had Martinez sidelined.

Simone Bentivoglio's glancing header flashed wide of the far post from Luciano's cross, while Adrian Ricchiuti fired a half-volley off target.

Chievo took the lead on 32 minutes at the Stadio Massimino. A free kick was whipped into the box where Mantovani performed a spectacular volley with the inside of his left foot. It was a magnificent finish from the defender.

Spolli shoved Sergio Pellissier in the back for an inevitable penalty, but Michele Marcolini thumped the spot-kick against the base of the upright.

Giuseppe Mascara was more accurate soon after, though, as he converted another penalty for a Mario Yepes tackle on Ricchiuti's ankle. Yepes was not even meant to play this game, but the day before his two-match ban was halved on appeal.

In stoppages Catania wanted a second spot-kick for Bentivoglio's handling offence.

Marcolini made up for his earlier error, as Andujar pushed the ball out to the edge of the box, where his curler looped over the stranded Catania goalkeeper. Granoche was offside, but smartly ensured he was not interfering with play, as he was behind the shot-stopper.

Stefano Sorrentino beat away a Llama snapshot from distance. Taka Morimoto was shown a straight red card for a very late tackle on Iori.
