The relationship between the continues to be complicated Lecce and the Emilian teams: after the mocking draw in the championship against Parma, also the first half of the challenge between the Salento teams and Sassuolo did not give satisfaction to the fans who flocked to Via del Mare on this hot September afternoon. The two teams are playing for a place in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia in a one-off match.
The first half ends with Fabio Grosso’s team in the lead thanks to a corner kick converted into a goal by Muharemovic, with a perfect run in the penalty area that leaves no chance for Früchtl, on a cross from Doig. A couple of bursts of speed by Banda and Dorgu are all that Gotti’s team manages to produce, framed several times very thoughtful on the sidelines, while the Nerveverdi also have the chance to double at the end of the first half. Excellent insertion by Lipani on the right, one-two with Volpato and assist for Russo, who kicks high from an excellent position.
