Hello my friends, Here is the 2011 - 2012 Italy Serie A Roundup Week 8 valid for Matchday 8 on Saturday October 22 and Sunday October 23, 2011. All games observing a minute of silence for the death of Italian rider Marco Simoncelli this morning during the Malaysian Moto GP. Our prayers and condolence for the family and friends. .
We have new leaders, Udinese are the sole leaders with 15 points and a positive goal difference of +9 after defeating Novara with 3 goals by Antonio Di Natale and Maurizio Domizzi. First surprise with Juventus failing to defeat Genoa to keep the leadership. Juventus despite the two goals from Alessandro Matri could not keep a victory and draw with Genoa going down the third position with 13 points. while Lazio jumped to the second position with 14 points.
Arguably the most interesting game for the way it ended is that of Lecce - AC Milan. Lecce in the first half winning 3-0 humiliating AC Milan. In the second half, Milan returning with a demolished mentality and a tractor. Kevin Prince Boateng replacing Robinho and scoring 3 goals. Lecce unable to react and the winner goal was from Milan defender Mario Yepes. Tough lesson for Lecce.
Highlights from AS Roma 1 - 0 Palermo is the debut with goal by 19-years old Argentinian Erik Lamela in the 7th minute. Inter breaking the curse at the giuseppe MEazza by winning the firs home game this season after losing 4 and scoring the first goal by midfielder Thiago Motta agaisnt Chievo Verona.
Fiorentina started to win and then ending the game with a draw against Catania while fans whistled coach Sinisa Mihajlovic. The match Bologna-Lazio with an own goal in favor of Lazio after Bologna forward Robert Acquafresca deviated the ball. Bologna now having the worst defense this season in the 19th position with a negative goal difference of -8. Las position again for Cesena losing the match against AC Siena. Cesena with only 2 points and a negative goal difference of -7.
Top scorer is Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale with 6 goa
