In anticipation of the 10th matchday of Serie A, a very precious success of the Lecce at home againstHellas Verona: the home team came close to taking the lead twice with Dorgu having two goals (rightly) disallowed, in the second half Dorgu again took the lead following a cross from Banda. Gotti’s team rises to 8, momentarily bypassing Genoa and reaching Parma and Monza (review the live match of the match by TMW here).
Here are some statistics from the match, courtesy of Opta:
– Patrick Dorgu’s goal against Hellas Verona ended Lecce’s 442-minute scoring drought in Serie A.
– Lecce returned to success in Serie A against Hellas Verona, ending a negative streak that lasted nine games (3D, 6P). The Salento team’s last success with a clean sheet in Serie A against the Gialloblù dates back to February 1990.
– Lecce scored at home against Hellas Verona, interrupting a streak of three consecutive games at Via del Mare without entering the yellow-blue goal. Dorgu’s is the first headed goal for the Giallorossi in this championship.
– Hellas Verona have conceded at least one goal in all of their last seven games in Serie A, after obtaining two clean sheets in the first three games with Paolo Zanetti on the bench; the longest streak of the Gialloblù in the top championship since October-December 2023 (nine games).
– No team has received more red cards than Hellas Verona in this Serie A: four, like Parma. Not since March 2022 at home against Napoli have the Gialloblù had at least two players sent off in the same match in the top division.
