Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 31

By: Francesco | April 13th, 2009

There were signs and banners like this all over the stadiums of Serie A this weekend showing support to the region of Abruzzo and all of those poor people that have to go through this tragedy that was the earthquake. Many teams donated their revenue from Sunday’s games to Abruzzo and Fiorentina defender Luciano Zauri (born near L’Aquila where the earthquake hit) started a collection amongst footballers. It’s always nice to see sport help make a difference. Full results after the jump.

FRANCESCO’S SERIE A GOALS OF THE WEEK

Rolando Bianchi vs. Catania – Nice header by Bianchi. With his back to goal, he gets a flick onto Diana’s cross and puts it past Bizzarri.

Clarence Seedorf vs. Chievo – Nice play by the Rossoneri. Jankulovski crosses for Inzaghi who makes a perfect assist (very rare) for Seedorf who volleys it first time past Sorrentino.

Manuel Pasqual vs. Cagliari – The Fiorentina left-back puts the Viola ahead with this excellent finish from just outside the area.

Aleksander Kolarov vs. Roma – Kolarov takes the ball from his own box and dribbles down the length of the pitch, skips past 2 defenders, and finishes past Doni.

Mauro Zarate vs. Roma – The little Argentine puts Lazio 2-0 up with this inch perfect strike from outside the area.
