Lecce Match – Latest Recap & What to Watch

If you missed yesterday’s Serie A showdown, this is your quick catch‑up on Lecce’s performance. The game ended in a 2‑1 win for Lecce, with striker Gianluca Lapadula netting the decisive goal in the 78th minute. Goalkeeper Alessio Cragno kept a clean sheet until the 85th minute when the opposition pulled one back, but Lecce held on thanks to solid defending and a few crucial tackles.

Key Moments You Should Know

The opening half was tight; both sides tested each other with long balls and low crosses. The first breakthrough came from a set‑piece at the 32nd minute when Lecce’s centre‑back Francesco Acerbi headed in from a corner. The opposition equalised early in the second half, but Lapadula’s solo run past two defenders set up a one‑on‑one finish that sealed the win.

Fans loved the midfield battle. Mario Balotelli (yes, the same Balotelli) dropped deep to help the back line and forced the opposing coach to shift tactics. His work rate allowed Lecce to control possession in the final 20 minutes, keeping the pressure on while defending a slim lead.
