Giampaolo’s return to the bench after two years of absence is a good thing for Lecce who, after an hour of suffering at Penzo, wakes up and takes away 3 golden points (0-1) in the direct clash against Venezia. A very heavy victory that takes the Salento team out of the relegation zone and sadly leaves the lagoon team alone in last place. Venezia complains about a post hit in the first half and the many wasted opportunities. And in the end, in one of the two shots on target he conceded, he ended up conceding that goal which extends the number of matches in which he fails to finish with a clean sheet to 8.

Venezia dominates but doesn’t pass: Idzes cross
Di Francesco’s team dominated in the first half but wasted two excellent opportunities to break the deadlock with Oristano and Idzes, who hit the crossbar with his head from a free kick by Nicolussi Caviglia. The lagoon players’ attack resumed in the second half with Pohjanpalo seeing a sure shot blocked off the line by Gaspar. Falcone also thinks of keeping Lecce up and is providential in closing the gap on Busio and Duncan.
Giampaolo changes, Lecce wins thanks to Dorgu
Dissatisfied with the passivity of his team, Giampaolo decides to remove the impalpable Krstovic and Pierotti in the 56th minute and inserts Rebic and Jean. As if by magic, Lecce took courage, relieved the pressure better and at the first real opportunity, in the 70th minute, broke the deadlock on the counterattack: Gallo went to the left and crossed for the onrushing Dorgu who with a precise diagonal right-footed shot of first intention beats Stankovic. Venezia’s bad evening is certified by Pohjanpalo’s sensational error who deflects Ellertsson’s lopsided shot into the empty net from two meters away. For di Francesco, another bitter defeat, difficult to digest.
