Genoa 0 - Lazio 1 (Serie A, April 18, 2009) Genoa’s Champions League hopes were dented by a home defeat to Lazio, Mauro Zarate once again getting on the scoresheet with a low shot into the far corner.

Bari 3 - Rimini 0 (Serie B, April 18, 2009) The Galletti had several chances to open the scoring before Kutuzov’s diving header from a corner on 32 minutes.

Vicenza 1 - Brescia 2 (Serie B, April 18, 2009) Caracciolo held up the ball for Rispoli to open the scoring. Seven minutes later Gorzegno had made it 2-0 by nodding in a corner. The Rondinelle held out, although Bjelanovic got one back in the second half by tapping in from close range.
