Livorno 0 Albinoleffe 1 in Serie B.
The 5 fans supporting Albinoleffe went home happy after this one.
Its a fairly long walk from the central station to the stadio Armando Picchi and in the hot weather a stop for refreshment is definitely required.
The stadium itself is a typical bowl with mostly open seats , a track and cover for the main stand.
The more vociferous home fans to the left at times produced some good noise but in the end it was mainly shouts of frustration from around the ground as the home side failed to deliver.
Lots of probing but not many chances.
The winner came from full back Perico after a fortunate deflection allowed him through on goal.
Substitute Diamanti hit the post but after that Livorno just made it worse by having two men sent off in the closing minutes.
They will still take part in the play-offs though.
Del Piero the master.
Siena 0 Juventus 3
Plenty of tourists in the historic city centre and plenty of fans coming to watch this encounter.
The quirky, segmented stadio Artemio Franchi , on lower ground close to the centre , was nearly full with typically large numbers of Juve fans.
It was hot and the fans in the sunshine (most of the stadium is open) were sprayed with water to cool down.
The Juve supporters saw their team totally dominate.
Siena had an early free kick that went wide but after that they never got close to Buffon.
Juve were in control with the 36 year old Nedved and Alessandro Del Piero running things.
Despite looking laboured at times Del Piero made one goal for Marchisio and scored two himself.
Post-Ranieri Juventus had looked sharper throughout even when the game became somewhat languid in the 30 degree heat. They might have scored 3 or 4 more.
The drummers in the Curva Robur had been silenced long before the end.
