Bari 2-1 Siena


Siena took the lead as early as the third minute when Simone Vergassola turned home a Lukas Jarolim cross. But 12 minutes before normal time Bari restored parity as Alessandro Parisi's cross was turned in by Andrea Masiello. The hosts even went ahead in injury time of the game as Giuseppe Greco shot into the Siena net with his left foot from the right side of the six-yard box to give his side an astonishing 2-1 victory.

Chievo 1-0 Palermo

Chievo bounced back from last weekend's defeat to Sampdoria by getting the better of Palermo at home. The only goal of the match came in the 54th minute when Elvis Abbruscato found the visitors' goal from a very close range with his left foot. He was assisted by Davide Mandelli with a headed pass following a set-piece. Fabio Liverani was sent off for the Sicilians late in the match.

Parma 1-1 Napoli

Napoli went ahead two minutes after the half hour mark when German Denis found the Parma net from the center of the penalty box with his right foot. But the hosts equalized four minutes before the final whistle when Nicola Amoruso converted a penalty. It was given when Salvatore Aronica committed a foul on Davide Lanzafame. Napoli also had Matteo Contini sent off during that incident.
