The curtain fell at the Via del Mare in the meeting of 24th round of Serie A 2022-2023 Between Lecce and Sassuolo. The black-greens conquered the Salento green rectangle with a goal from the Norwegian Kristian Thorstvedt in the 65th minute, on an assist by Dominic Berardi. With this result, the training coached by Alessio Dionisi moved to thirteenth position with 27 points, catching up with the team of Marco Baroni numberwise.
FIRST HALF – The hosts bet on a 4-3-3: Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Thuja, Gallo; Maleh, Hjulmand, Blin; Strefezza, Ceesay, Banda. Sassuolo replied with a specular attitude: Advice; Zortea, Erlic, Ruan, Rogerio; Frattesi, Obiang, Matheus Henrique; Berardi, Defrel, Bajrami. After a brief study phase, Lecce built their first chance with Strefezza who controlled and kicked towards goal with his left foot, from the edge of the penalty area, not finding the target.
The guests responded in the 18th minute: restart with Henrique supporting Bajrami, but Flacone is extraordinary, even if the former Empoli player could have done better in his shot. Three minutes later another chance for the black-greens: left-footed volley from Berardi, all alone, but the coordination isn’t perfect and the ball went wide. It was the last emotion of the first half of the game.
SECOND HALF – Sassuolo scored in the second half in the 65th minute: a corner kick from Berardi and a great cut from Thorstvedt at the near post who stole time from everyone with his header and scored. Also noteworthy is the deviation of Hjulmand shortly after the conclusion of the Scandinavian. Lecce attempted a reaction and in the 82nd minute there was a great chance: Strefezza devoured a goal from a super favorable position, pardoning Lecce in fact. Last emotion of the confrontation, favorable to the team of Dionisi.
