In a highly anticipated match at the Rome Olympic Stadium, the local team "Roma" drew 1-1 with "Fiorentina". Just 70 seconds into the game, Roma's D.Tommasi scored the first goal after a pass from A.Cassano. Despite multiple chances, Roma failed to capitalize due to the excellent performance of Fiorentina's goalkeeper S.Frey, allowing the visitors to equalize.

In the 67th minute, Roma's defender P.Mexes fouled an opponent in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty kick. P.Mexes was sent off, and Fiorentina's striker L.Toni successfully converted the penalty to level the score. Despite playing with ten men for the rest of the match, Roma managed to hold off the visitors' attacks and secure a point.

In another match in Turin, the defending champions "Juventus" came from behind to defeat "Treviso" 3-1. Despite falling behind early, Juventus controlled the game and turned the score around with goals from A.Mutu, D.Trezeguet, and A.Del Piero.

Meanwhile, Milan's "Inter" won 2-1 away against "Messina", with goals from A.Recoba and E.Cambiasso securing the victory. And in a dramatic finish in Milan, "Milan" snatched a late 2-1 win over "Lecce", thanks to goals from A.Pirlo and F.Inzaghi.
