Livorno 3-1 Sampdoria
Sampdoria appeared to have put their season back on the track when key playmaker Antonio Cassano scored just 15 minutes into the game. Livorno, though, equalised in the 39th minute when Nelson Rivas scored. Two minutes into the second half it became 2-1 to the hosts as Tomas Danilevicius scored. It became 3-1 in the last few seconds of the game when Danilevicius netted the ball for the second time in the game.
Napoli 2-0 Chievo
Napoli’s resurgence under coach Walter Mazzarri continued as they defeated Chievo 2-0 at home. Stefano Sorrentino committed a foul on German Denis inside his own penalty area in the sixth minute and Marek Hamsik made no mistake from the resulting spotkick. Three minutes before the final whistle Italian striker Fabio Quagliarella netted the ball to make it 2-0 to the hosts and wrap up the year with a comfortable victory.
Palermo 1-0 Siena
Palermo carried on with their winning momentum as they defeated Siena 1-0 at home. Edison Cavani scored the only goal of the game five minutes before half-time.
