Juventus 2-3 Fiorentina

Substitute Daniel Pablo Osvaldo struck an added-time winner as ACF Fiorentina moved a point behind Juventus with a 3-2 victory in Turin – their first away victory over the Bianconeri in two decades.

Open race
Osvaldo kept his cool in the dying seconds, capitalising on some lax defending to head in Papa Waigo's cross to seal a first Viola victory at Juve since 15 May 1988. It completed a memorable contribution for Senegalese winter-signing Waigo, who had made it 2-2 only 15 minutes before having come on as a second-half substitute. Until then Juve had seemed destined for victory after Mohamed Sissoko (29) and Mauro Camoranesi (60) had cancelled out Massimo Gobbi's 19th-minute opener. Victory would have sent Juve seven points clear in Italy's third UEFA Champions League berth but Osvaldo denied the, that, even if he did then receive a second yellow card for taking off his shirt in the subsequent celebration.

Udinese triumph
Fiorentina's win means AC Milan are now four points off fourth spot, and they will be wary of Udinese Calcio behind them after Pasquale Marino's men enjoyed a return to form with a 2-0 triumph at home to Atalanta BC. Two goals in as many first-half minutes from Fabio Quagliarella and Antonio Di Natale helped Udinese to only their fourth Serie A win since the end of November. At the other end of the table there was also a welcome victory for bottom side Cagliari Calcio, whose 2-1 triumph against Genoa CFC – their second victory in five days – to move within four points of safety.

Diamante finish
AS Livorno Calcio moved out of the relegation zone at the expense of opponents Calcio Catania as Alessandro Diamante's effort just after the hour proved sufficient for the home side. Empoli FC also hosted a battle between two struggling sides as they met AC Siena, though this time the visitors prevailed, Christian Rigano wrapping up a 2-0 win in added time. Empoli's misery was compounded by the dismissal of Davide Moro and there was a sending off at UC Sampdoria too, Antonio Cassano receiving his marching orders to sully his earlier goal which earned a 2-2 draw with Torino FC. Reggina Calcio and US Città di Palermo also shared the spoils with a goalless draw.
