Mariano Andujar was the man primarily responsbile for the first of two 0-0 draws in Round 12, with his efforts between the sticks ensuring Catania took a point from Cagliari.
Gabriele Angella was a surprise goal hero for Udinese, as his double earned the Friulani a draw against Chievo at the Bentegodi, and Gonzalo Rodriguez saw off Alexandre Pato by half-time as Fiorentina took all three points from their trip to Milan. Danilo D'Ambrosio showed his knack for grabbing the odd surprise goal too when netting the winner for Torino against Bologna.
Antonio Candreva tilted the Rome derby in Lazio's favour with a first-half free-kick which somehow beat Mauro Goicoechea in the Roma goal, and his all-round contribution helped to seal the victory in the second half. Arturo Vidal was once again the catalyst for Juventus, scoring the opening goal in the 6-1 rout of Pescara, while Borja Valero got in on the scoring act as Fiorentina continued their fine form with victory at San Siro. Marek Hamsik earned his customary place in our XI with a battling display and crucial late goal as Napoli took three points off Genoa.
A hat-trick for Fabio Quagliarella was the highlight of Juventus' battering of poor Pescara, and German Denis became a Bianconeri hero for the day by scoring a couple of goals in Atalanta's victory over second-placed Inter. Meanwhile, Paulo Dybala marked a rare first-team start with a double which gave Palermo a vital 2-0 win over fellow strugglers Sampdoria.
