| Albinoleffe 1-0 Parma (Sep 16)
Parma tumbled in Bergamo with this rescheduled game due to the number of players away on international duty, but Albinoleffe go top of the table with this result and third straight clean sheet. It was a special goalscorer, as Ruopolo was a Parma youth team player.
Scorers: Ruopolo 63 (P)
Ancona 0-0 Ascoli
The thunderstorm that struck Ancona affected play in the Marche derby, as there were precious few chances. A desperate Melucci tackle prevented Rizzato from scoring early on, while Guberti thumped the outside of the post for Ascoli. The pressure was piled on after Micolucci’s second bookable offence, but the visitors clung on for the point.
Sent off: Micolucci 77 (As)
Ancona: Da Costa; Rincon, Olivieri, Langella, Di Fausto; Surraco (Miramontes 80), De Falco, Catinali, Rizzato; Mastronunzio, Nassi (Colacone 70)

Brescia 0-0 Treviso (Sep 16)
Brescia continue to stutter in this Serie B season with a third straight draw and failed to find a way through Treviso's organised back line. Caracciolo did have the opportunity, but saw his first half penalty saved by veteran Guardalben. His nightmare was completed by a red card on the hour mark for hacking down Scurto. It is a prestigious point for Treviso, who started from -3 points.
Missed penalty: Caracciolo 14 (B)

Cittadella 0-0 Salernitana
Salernitana thanked goalkeeper Pinna for this point and the fact they are now unbeaten in four official games between Serie B and the Coppa Italia. The shot-stopper performed heroics to keep out De Gasperi’s thunderbolts either side of half-time. Di Napoli wasted the visitors’ best opportunity.
Cittadella: Zotti; Manucci, Pesoli, Cherubin, Marchesan; Volpe (Musso 60), Iori, Giordano, De Gasperi; Rossi (Oliveira 80), Ganci (Meggiorini 60)

Frosinone 0-0 Bari
This was an ill-tempered and controversial encounter not helped by some shaky refereeing. Tavares thought he had grabbed the victory and was already running towards the fans with his shirt off when the linesman communicated a debatable offside position. The Frosinone man not only had his goal chalked off, but was also booked for the futile celebration. Donda was sent off for Bari for dissent.
Sent off: Donda 74 (B)
Frosinone: Sicignano; Guidi, Scarlato, Nocentini; Antonazzo, Coppola (Perra 63), D’Antoni, Bocchetti; Eder, Martini (Tavares 66), Cariello (Di Roberto 79)

Grosseto 3-0 Piacenza
Grosseto showed they are no flash in the pan, maintaining their 100 per cent record to top the table in style. After their surprise away win at Pisa last weekend, they swept Piacenza aside in front of their own fans. Stendardo’s free kick hit the woodwork before Pichlmann bagged a brace either side of half-time. The second goal was a peach of an acrobatic volley from a loose ball. Cordova sealed the scoreline with a trademark free kick.
Scorers: Pichlmann 41, 52 (G), Cordova 87 (G)
Sent off: Abbate 86 (P)
Grosseto: Acerbis; Innocenti, Stendardo, Porchia, Abruzzese; Consonni, Vitiello (Carparelli 90); Lazzari (Cordova 77), Pichlmann (Sansovini 68), Garofalo; Sforzini

Livorno 1-1 Mantova
Antonio Filippini avoided a surprise home defeat in this ill-tempered match. Corona had sprung the offside trap to put Mantova ahead at the start of the second half and they seemed to be in control after Diamanti’s dismissal, but Filippini slid on to Tavano’s cross. Mantova were also reduced to 10 men when former Livorno man Passoni saw red late on.

Rimini 4-3 Modena
Vantaggiato left it late to seal a seven-goal thriller in this local derby. Bruno had until then been the hero for Modena thanks to his hat-trick, as he earned and converted a penalty for Cardinale’s foul. After Docente’s equaliser and a La Camera screamer from 20 metres, Bruno turned it around again with a fierce free kick and goal straight after the restart. Pagano netted from the penalty spot to make it 3-3 and it looked to be ending in a draw until Vantaggiato popped up at the death.
Scorers: Bruno pen 25, 41, 50 (M), Docente 34 (R), La Camera 37 (R), Pagano pen 55 (R), Vantaggiato 85 (R)

Sassuolo 3-1 Pisa (Sep 16)
New boys Sassuolo are making quite a name for themselves and thrashed last season's play-off contenders Pisa to go within a point of the leaders. Salvetti was the star of the show, as he set up Noselli's opener and, after an Alvarez equaliser, earned and converted penalty. Masucci pounced on a Feussi error.
Scorers: Noselli 2 (S), Alvarez 22 (P), Salvetti pen 33 (S), Feussi og 82 (S)
Triestina 3-1 Avellino
Triestina saw off Avellino with minimal fuss at the Stadio Rocco. It took just four minutes to open the scoring through Della Rocca’s tap-in at the end of a well-worked team move, then Minelli got his head to Allegretti’s corner. De Zerbi pulled one back from the spot for a Minelli handling offence, but Allegretti got his second goal of the season with a fierce strike against his former club.
Scorers: Della Rocca 4 (T), Minelli 26 (T), De Zerbi pen 39 (A), Allegretti 54 (T)
Triestina: Agazzi; Cacciatore, Cottafava, Minelli, Rullo; Antonelli, Allegretti (Piangerelli 83), Gorgone, Testini; Figoli (Princivalli 63), Della Rocca (Ardemagni 71)

Vicenza 1-1 Empoli
Vicenza were reduced to nine men and were pegged back for a 1-1 draw with Empoli at the Stadio Romeo Menti. After a bright first half, the opening goal came after the break. Martinelli's precise cross fell perfectly to Sgrigna who nodded home for 1-0 to Vicenza. But the game changed in the latter stages as Bjelanovic received a second yellow for a handball before Martinelli brought down Juve-owned youngster Pasquato for a penalty and was dismissed for a professional foul. Lodi converted the spot-kick and it could've been worse for Vicenza as Pasquato missed a golden chance in the dying seconds.
Scorers: Sgrigna 58 (V), Lodi pen 76 (E)
Sent Off: Bjelanovic 61 (V), Martinelli 74 (V)
Vicenza: Fortin; Martinelli, Zanchi, Di Cesare, Giani; Foglio, Bernardini, Bottone, Raimondi; Bjelanovic, Sgrigna (Margiotta 79)
