Albinoleffe 2-3 Brescia
The Lombardy derby was certainly entertaining with constant turnarounds and a dramatic finale that changes the shape of the play-off zone. In the opening 120 seconds Gervasoni pushed Zambrella over in the box and, although Coser saved Tacchinardi’s penalty, he could do nothing on the follow-up. Caracciolo made it 2-0 soon after, but Albinoleffe fought back in spectacular fashion. Serafini’s first ever Serie B header was followed on the hour mark by Cellini’s equaliser. It seemed to be heading for a draw, but eight minutes from time Taddei snatched a dramatic winner and was promptly sent off for excessive celebrating.

Bari 2-1 Spezia
Bari had an early scare, but confirmed their mid-table status and Spezia’s battle against relegation.

Chievo 1-1 Bologna
The big showdown between the top two teams ended in a draw, as it was all decided in the space of three minutes. Chievo had a strong start and Obinna wasted several good chances before Valiani put Bologna in front against the run of play when his shot cannoned in off the underside of the crossbar. The Flying Donkeys could have had the wind knocked out of them, but instead drew level within three minutes. Pellissier held off Giubilato to thread an angled drive past Antonioli and equalise. Just before the break the Rossoblu goalkeeper needed a splendid double save to deny Obinna’s close-range effort and the Pellissier follow-up. Bonetto performed a goalline clearance from a corner and Bentivoglio’s shot was deflected as Chievo dominated proceedings, but could not put their leadership beyond doubt.
Scorers: Valiani 25 (B), Pellissier 28 (C)
Chievo: Squizzi; Malagò, Cesar, Rickler, Mantovani (Chicchi 65); Bentivoglio, Italiano, Marcolini; Iunco (Luciano 57), Pellissier, Obinna (Cossato 83)

Frosinone 3-3 Ascoli
This was a thoroughly entertaining six-goal thriller that saw Frosinone fight back from 2-0 down only to have victory snatched from their grasp in the last nine minutes. Guberti and Bernacci put Ascoli in absolute control, but Evacuo bundled the ball over the line just before the break to give the home side hope. Scarlato and Ischia completed the comeback to give Frosinone the lead, but Cioffi silenced the crowd to round out the scoreline.

Grosseto 1-2 Triestina

Mantova 2-1 Treviso
Godeas strengthened his Capocannoniere credentials to give Mantova a hard fought victory. Beghetto had converted a spot-kick early on, but before half-time Godeas had struck twice for his 23rd goal of the campaign. It does little to boost a side that must surely be out of the play-off race, while it leaves Treviso hovering above the danger zone.
