Serie A, Giornata 27

gab's da nicht auch noch das zu unrecht aberkannte tor von montella, oder wurde das zurecht aberkannt?

abgesehen davon war vor der elfersituation ibrahimovic abseits, dann war es meiner meinung nach kein foul und ausserhalb des strafraums. dellas stand kurz vor der linie.

wie auch immer, das naechste mal hoffe ich auf ein ausverkauftes stadion und eine milan die fuer diese ungerechtigkeite buessen muss.

Allerdings (hab das Spiel mittlerweile relive gesehen) geht von der spielerischen Leistung der Sieg eigentlich in Ordnung.

naja, mir isses ziemlich ausgeglichen vorgekommen, channel 4 sieht sogar überlegenheit der roma. hier der bericht:

An extremely controversial Alex Del Piero penalty gave Juve the victory at the Olimpico and Roma are furious as Fabio Capello gets his revenge. This has always been a fiery encounter, but it went into overdrive following the controversial events of the summer. Emerson, Jonathan Zebina and Coach Fabio Capello joined rivals Juventus and have since been dubbed 'traitors' by the Roma faithful.

The Bianconeri opted for a trident attack with Marcelo Zalayeta joining Alessandro Del Piero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Lilian Thuram was able to start despite suffering from flu.

Roma kept faith with Daniele De Rossi in midfield, while Francesco Totti returned from suspension to bolster their strike force. The pressure was on Gigi Del Neri's men following their 2-0 defeat at Palermo, while the visitors needed a victory to maintain Milan's pace at the top of the table.

Vincenzo Montella thought he had opened the scoring after two minutes, but it was correctly disallowed for an offside position. Moments later, Gianluigi Buffon could only punch out a Totti free kick and Matteo Ferrari's follow-up was charged down by Emerson.

However, it was Juventus who took the lead with their first chance of the game. A Mauro German Camoranesi free kick found Ibrahimovic for a free header that was only pushed into Fabio Cannavaro's path by goalkeeper Ivan Pelizzoli. Notably, both Bianconeri stars were unmarked when the set-piece was floated in, though Cannavaro was probably offside when Ibrahimovic made contact.

Totti was able to carry on after treatment for a painful nudge in the ribs, then Zebina was felled by Leandro Cufre clattering into his back after the ball had already been released.

A scuffle broke out after 21 minutes with former teammates Totti and Zebina both booked with the Roma captain going in high and the Frenchman reacting. Olivier Dacourt was also shown the yellow card for a dreadful challenge on Ibrahimovic.

Zebina did well to prevent Cassano's through ball reaching Montella in the six-yard box, and Buffon stuck out a hand as Christian Panucci nutmegged Cannavaro, but the first half was increasingly tense and choppy with repeated fouls.

Just before half-time, Roma finally found a breakthrough. Manuele Blasi's pass was intercepted and Totti quickly slipped the ball through to Cassano. The ex-Bari youngster was onside and two of his teammates were considered to be in passive positions, so Cassano stroked his finish past a helpless Buffon from eight yards. The Giallorossi star was booked for his celebration, having kicked down the corner flag.

However, less than two minutes later Zalayeta was tripped by Traianos Dellas and the referee pointed to the spot. It was on the very edge of the penalty area and replays suggest it was outside, prompting furious protests from the Roma players - especially Montella, who was practically restrained by his teammates. Alessandro Del Piero stepped up and slammed a confident spot-kick past an immobile Pelizzoli to restore Juve's extremely controversial lead.

On the stroke of half-time there was an off the ball incident that could lead to a ban for Cufre' as he was caught on camera slapping Del Piero.

After the restart, Emerson's long-range strike whistled over the bar, while Amantino Mancini replaced De Rossi for a more attacking Roma outfit.

Juve went close to extending their lead when Zalayeta fought his way past one challenge and Pelizzoli did well to hold his position and block with his feet.

Del Piero was surprisingly substituted and replaced by defender Gianluca Pessotto as Capello tried to make them a more solid line-up under increasing pressure from the home side.

Cannavaro needed a great tackle to prevent Cassano from skipping his way into the area, then at the other end Ibrahimovic had a goal disallowed for offside, although the Swede was level with Camoranesi's pass and therefore it was an incorrect decision.

Juve were extremely lucky not to conceded an equaliser on 67 minutes, as Thuram dived in to take the ball off Montella's feet from close range with only Buffon to beat and a deflected clearance whistled just wide of the empty net.

The Bianconeri were increasingly desperate and flung bodies at shots from Totti, Montella and Cassano. Totti's free header floated just past the woodwork, then Ibrahimovic picked the wrong pass on the counter-attack with Gianluca Pessotto unmarked in the centre.

Pelizzoli needed two touches to keep a Blasi piledriver under control, but the second half was almost entirely one-way traffic directed at Buffon's net.

David Trezeguet made an appearance late on, as he has missed the last three games with a flu virus, but Roma kept on pushing and Montella fired just wide of the near post with his weaker right foot.

There was panic in the area when Totti's sweeping pass took a touch off Zebina and into the grateful arms of Buffon, but it could so easily have been an own goal.

Del Neri went for broke and threw on teenage striker Daniele Corvia, so there were four strikers on the pitch plus Amantino Mancini for the final stages. Totti's free kick took a deflection off the defensive wall and bounced just past the post with Buffon stranded.

Another big scuffle broke out in stoppages as Cassano had to be dragged away from Camoranesi, who he accused of wasting time. The final whistle also saw some problems between opposition players as they left the field. (Channel 4)

Soviel ich weiß will Cassano zu seinem 'Ziehvater' Fabio Cappello zurück, und der ist ja bekannterweise bei Juve im Amt. Im Gegenzug könnte dann Adrian Mutu zu den Römern wechseln, diese Variante wurde schon vor einiger Zeit mal durchbesprochen

So ist es. Doch auch in Turin regnet es viel

Cassano hat in dem besagten Interview gesagt dass er gerne bei Real Madrid spielen würde, hab ich auch im Transfernews-Thread der letzten Woche gepostet.

Irgendwas sagt mir, dass Cassano (leider) nicht nach Turin wechseln wird... Glaub aber auch nicht wirklich, dass er bei der Roma bleibt.
