Juventus - Reggina 4-0

Juventus reach the derby in the best possible way. Ficcadenti's Reggina were trounced after a game where the home team dominated as they pleased. The first half ended with no goals, thanks to Reggina’s ever-excellent keeper Campagnolo, but then Ranieri's team exploded in the second half. Legrottaglie, Salihamidzic, Trezeguet and Palladino all scored. The final result was 4-0, which meant three points more for the table, but most of all two points recovered on Roma, who couldn't win in Florence. And Sunday it's time for Torino, beaten tonight at Parma.Three days after the draw in Rome and thre

Roma - Juventus 2-2

It could've been Francesco Totti's day, as he scored two goals; but in the end the star of the day was Vincenzo Iaquinta. The forward, a summer signing from Udinese, repaid Ranieri's choice to play him from the start with an extraordinary performance: an assist for Trezeguet's opening goal - the Frenchman's 100th goal in Serie A - and a decisive header that set the final score at 2-2. Shame about Del Piero missing a penalty at the start of the second half, and most of all about Andrade having to leave the pitch injured on a stretcher. The Bianconeri are back in contention and ready to face Re

Cagliari - Juventus 2-3

After winning away from home in the Italian Cup (Wednesday at Parma), Juventus had every intention to do so in the League too. The venue was Cagliari's Sant’Elia Stadium, a ground that Claudio Ranieri knows well because he had a successful stint as Manager there between the 1980's and '90's. Ranieri started with practically the same line-up as in last week's League debut, with only Zebina (who, like Zanetti, used to play for Cagliari) replacing Nocerino in defence, and Salihamidzic advancing to midfield. As for Cagliari, who were coming from two wins in three days, the Argentinean player Larr
