Four matches were played on Saturday in the Italian Serie A championship.

The fight for a place in next season's Champions League continues for Napoli, who defeated the struggling Novara team 2-0 at home.

The goals for the winners were scored in the first half by Edinson Cavani and Paolo Cannavaro.
