Serie A Saturday Review


A review of the two Serie A games played on Saturday.

Catania leapfrogged Lazio at the bottom of Serie A after a 4-0 win over Bari while the Rome side conceded a last-minute goal to draw with Fiorentina.

Adrian Ricchiuti put the Sicilians ahead after just four minutes and Cristian Llama doubled their lead five minutes before half-time.

Paulo Barreto could have had a hat-trick for Bari but he missed a penalty in the 64th minute before goals from Takayuki Morimoto and Jorge Martinez sealed the win for the Rosazzurri in the last 10 minutes.

Lazio edged just a single point further away from the relegation zone after a stoppage-time equaliser against Fiorentina at a ghostly Stadio Olimpico.

Sebastiano Siviglia put Lazio ahead in the seventh minute of a dour game played in front of an embarrassingly low crowd - just 10,000 - for an Italian top flight game.

Fiorentina improved in the second half and managed to steal a point with Keirrison's first goal in Italian football in the second minute of stoppage time moving them on to 35 points, still three behind 10th-placed Genoa.

Today's results see Catania move to fifth from bottom while Lazio are just one place and three points ahead of third-bottom Livorno.
