BOLOGNA 0-4 BARI
No, do not refresh this page. Relegated Bari actually scored four goals away from home in what will be their last Serie A fixture for 12 months at least.
Visiting Bari may have only racked up 24 points this season, but young striker Francesco Grandolfo has given the Cockerels reasons to be cheerful ahead of the new campaign.
On his first start in a league fixture, the 18-year-old bagged a hat-trick while Norwegian Erik Huseklepp struck late to ensure Bari signed off their dismal league campaign in style.
For hosts Bologna it brought an end to a dismal run of results, having lost six of their final eight encounters.
UDINESE 0-0 AC MILAN
The performance may not live long in the memory, but Udinese’s scoreless draw with champions AC Milan was enough to secure Champions League football at the Stadio Friuli next season.
It was the home side that came the closest on two occasions, both of which fell to leading goalscorer Antonio Di Natale.
The Italian struck the post with a free-kick, while also seeing goalkeeper Marco Amelia turn away his 74th minute spot kick after Clarence Seedorf had fouled Alexis Sanchez inside the area.
LECCE 2-4 LAZIO
Udinese’s point meant that even a victory for Lazio would see them fall short of Champions League qualification.
Nevertheless, the Aquile remained professional to the end, comfortably disposing of ten-men Lecce.
Lazio’s Tommaso Rocchi and Mauro Zarate twice fired their side in front during the first half, only to see those advantages pegged back by Manuel Coppola and Ignacio Piatti.
Zarate once again put the away side in front, this time from the penalty spot. Lecce’s Massimiliano Benassi was also sent off for a foul on Rocchi which led to the penalty being awarded.
The scoring was rounded off just past the hour mark, with home defender Giuseppe Vives putting the ball into his own net.
The victory means Lazio finish level on points with Udinese, but their inferior head-to-head record means they finish in fifth position.
JUVENTUS 2-2 NAPOLI
Seventh-place Juventus came from behind on two occasions to claim a point against Champions League qualifiers Napoli.
Midfielders Christian Maggio and Cristiano Lucarelli got themselves on the scoresheet for Napoli, while Juve’s goalscoring duo were Giorgio Chiellini and Alessandro Matri.
INTER MILAN 3-1 CATANIA
There were few shrewder January transfer deals than Leonardo’s decision to take Giampaolo Pazzini to Inter Milan.
The Italian frontman has scored on a regular basis for the Nerazzurri and added another two in this encounter at the San Siro.
Japanese midfielder Yuto Nagatomo added Inter’s third, while Pablo Ledesma claimed a late consolation for 13th placed Catania.
The three points means runners up Inter finish the campaign six points adrift of champions and city rivals AC.
AS ROMA 3-1 SAMPDORIA
In what could prove to be Vincenzo Montella’s final game in charge of Roma, his players run out comfortable victors over relegated Sampdoria.
It was actually demoted Samp that took the lead courtesy of Daniele Mannini, but veteran Francesco Totti levelled up proceedings before the break.
After the break it was all about the home side, and further goals from front pairing Mirko Vucinic and Marco Borriello saw the Romans finish the season on a high note.
PALERMO 1-3 CHIEVO
Hosts Palermo appeared to have next week’s Coppa Italia final with Inter Milan on their mind during this encounter with Chievo.
All looked to be going well for Delio Rossi’s men when Antonio Nocerino fired them in front after 14 minutes.
However, Sergio Pellissier levelled up the scores before the break, while further goals from Kevin Constant and Nico Pulzetti ensured the points would be heading back to Verona.
GENOA 3-2 CESENA
Mid-table Genoa raced into a three goal half-time lead thanks to a double from Antonio Floro Flores and a strike courtesy of Rodrigo Palacio.
Visiting Cesena did mount a comeback after the break and goals from Erjon Bogdani and Luis Jimenez made for a nervous second half for all connected with Genoa.
However, Cesena were unable to find an equaliser at it was Genoa who eventually prevailed.
BRESCIA 2-2 FIORENTINA
A late goal from Pietro Accardi denied Fiorentina the chance to bow out the season with a victory.
Juan Vargas and Alessio Cerci twice put the Florence based club in front, while Brescia’s other goal of the afternoon came from Citadin Eder.
CAGLIARI 1-1 PARMA
With both sides simply happy to have secured their status as a Serie A club, this fixture had a real final day feel to it.
Parma took the lead via former Manchester City centre forward Valeri Bojinov, but that strike was cancelled out in the 55th minute thanks to an own goal from Rolf Feltscher.
