Ascoli 0-2 Grosseto
Grosseto got back to winning ways as they conquered the Stadio Del Duca with a couple of penalties from Sansovini. The first came early on with Pesce bringing down the scorer, then Taibi’s foul prompted a red card and Sommese went between the posts, as all the substitutions had been completed. It's Ascoli's second home defeat in four games here.

Bari-Sassuolo
Postponed due to players on international duty, to be played October 21.
Livorno 5-2 Frosinone
Livorno finally celebrated their first home victory of the campaign and got off to a blazing start with three goals in the opening 16 minutes. Rossini got off the mark with a towering header, then Loviso’s fierce right-foot drive from distance and a smart Pulzetti combination with Tavano saw Frosinone crumble. Rossini completed his brace before half-time by copying Ibrahimovic’s now legendary backheel flick against Bologna, sending the Stadio Picchi wild. Miglionico was sent off and Santoruvo got Frosinone back into it, but Tavano’s spot-kick confirmed even with 10 men they were in complete control. Eder completed the epic seven-goal game late on.

Mantova 1-1 Avellino
Veteran Locatelli had to rescue Mantova from an embarrassing defeat to bottom of the table Avellino in the final minute. Pepe had given the visitors an unexpected lead by beating the on-rushing goalkeeper and thought he had finally put Avellino into the ‘positive’ after their three-point penalty. However, deep into stoppages Locatelli managed to toe-poke home from close-range. In fact, the former Udinese and Bologna man could’ve won it with the last kick of the game, but fired straight at the ‘keeper.

Modena 1-0 Piacenza
Piacenza’s woes continue with a defeat in the local derby, though Modena finally get to celebrate their first win of the campaign. Bruno was once again the Canarini’s hero with a smart finish and, despite Bolano’s dismissal for a second bookable offence, Modena held on for the win for the final 18 minutes.
Scorers: Bruno 62 (M)
Sent off: Bolano 73 (M)

Rimini-Brescia
Postponed due to players on international duty, to be played October 21.
Salernitana 0-1 Empoli
Empoli are top of the table awaiting Sassuolo’s postponed match after this big clash. These two teams were both angling for the leadership going into the game. Di Napoli went close for the home side, but it was Vannucchi who bagged the winner by getting on the end of a Busce cross. Empoli confirmed they were well worth their win by dominating the second half, especially after Barrionuevo’s rather harsh straight red card.
Scorers: Vannucchi 41 (E)
Sent off: Barrionuevo 61 (S)
Salernitana: Pinna; Kyriazis, Fusco, Peccarisi (Russo 82), Marchese; Tricarico (Piccioni 82), Barrionuevo, Ciarcia` (Giannone 63), Di Napoli; Scarpa, Fava
Empoli: Bassi; Angella, Vargas, Piccolo; Busce`, Marianini (Corvia 68), Valdifiori (Moro 80), Tosto; Vannucchi, Pasquato (Bianco 85), Lodi

Treviso 2-2 Parma
Francesco Guidolin is still looking for his first victory on the Parma bench, but it took a couple of Cristiano Lucarelli penalties to pick up a point in this controversial match. D’Aversa began the game in extremely contentious fashion, as even television replays cannot clarify whether the ball had completely crossed the line. The Gialloblu equalised when Bonucci brought down Paloschi for the first spot-kick, but once again there was fury aimed at the referee for Treviso’s goal, as Musetti’s offside position may well have been interfering with play when Bonucci struck. Lucarelli both earned and converted the second penalty of the afternoon for a Zaninelli foul.
Scorers: D’Aversa 2 (T), C Lucarelli pens 17, 64 (P), Bonucci 32 (T)
Sent off: Dal Canto 93 (T)
Treviso: Cordaz; Smit, Dal Canto, Bonucci, Zaninelli (Pianu 89); Moro, D'Aversa, Scaglia (Gissi 73); Missiroli, Quadrini (Foti 58); Musetti
Parma: Pavarini; Paci, A Lucarelli, Rossi; Zenoni, Morrone, Budel, Castellini; Leon; Paloschi (Reginaldo 71), C Lucarelli

Triestina 2-1 Cittadella
Cittadella have only scored two goals this season and both of them by Meggiorini. He had a few attempts before breaking the deadlock in Trieste with a left-foot angled drive in off the inside of the post. However, it proved to be little consolation, as the home side quickly turned it around. Antonelli smashed in a magnificent strike and Allegretti netted a free kick to send Triestina into the promotion places.
Scorers: Meggiorini 26 (C), Antonelli 30 (T), Allegretti 52 (T)
Triestina: Agazzi; Cacciatore, Cottafava, Minelli, Rullo; Antonelli, Allegretti, Gorgone (Piangerelli 81), Testini; Figoli (Cia 87), Della Rocca (Granoche 68)
