and Palermo
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6326513.stm. The match, originally scheduled for February 4 at 3pm, was exceptionally advanced on Friday at 6pm under request of Catania Calcio because of the simultaneity with the St. Agatha local celebrations.
The dramatic Sicilian derby events, which followed the murder of Ermanno Licursi, an amateur club manager, beaten to death during a riot in a Terza Categoria
league match, led Commissioner Luca Pancalli
to call a stop to all football matches in Italy, including Serie A fixtures. Pancalli noted how the league fixtures would not start again till a solution to the violence issue in Italian football is found. The week after, a special law by the government enforced the measures to be taken against violence in football stadia and forbade the presence of supporters inside stadia which didn't agree with mandatory security dispositions, thus enabling Italian football to go on with half of the matches played without audience.
Following the events, Catania was prohibited to play its home matches at Stadio Angelo Massimino for the remaining part of the season, and the club was also forced to play its home matches in neutral grounds without spectators (a porte chiuse, behind closed doors). Several other Italian stadia were closed too because of security reasons, and reopened only once they would have passed several safety requirements. All stadiums were successfully reopened for April, with Stadio Massimino's exception. Catania's home matches were successively allowed to be attended by spectators, yet on neutral ground, as from May 13.
on April 22, 2007, Internazionale
captured the 2006-07 Serie A
title (the 15th Scudetto in the team's history) by moving 16 points clear of second-place Roma
with 5 matches to play. Internazionale's dominant effort marked the defense of the title they were awarded in the wake of the Calciopoli scandal, and their first Scudetto claimed on the field since May 28, 1989. Clinching with five matches remaining, Internazionale tied the Serie A record for earliest title claim (alongside with Torino
in the 1948
). The team also broke the record for most consecutive wins with a 17 match winning streak.
and Ascoli
already relegated, there was only one relegation slot left to be decided in the last matchday, with Parma
(39 points), Chievo
(39), Catania
(38), Siena
(37) and Reggina
(37) involved in the battle. The key match in the relegation battle was widely expected to be Catania vs Chievo
, to be played in Bologna
because of the forced closure of Stadio Angelo Massimino
by the Italian Football Federation following the February 2007 infamous riots in the Sicilian derby. The match ended in a 2-0 win for the Sicilian side; due to the contemporary wins of Parma, Siena and Reggina, Chievo relegated to Serie B
