In the shadow of the drama that happened at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, where Fiorentina's match with Inter Milan was interrupted by Edoardo Bove fainting on the pitch, on Sunday evening Lecce There was a clash between the hosts and Juventus, who were looking to join the league leaders.
Juventus disaster! It was the 93rd minute, they were already greeting the goose, and then there was such a blow
The first half at Stadio Vila del Mare was not a great spectacle. Neither team was able to get a shot on target at their opponent's goal, although they were definitely closer to luck Juventus. Already in the sixth minute, after Kenan Yildiz's action, Khephren Thuram had an empty goal, but he only hit the post from five meters. Six minutes later, the Portuguese Francisco Conceicao also hit the post, as he showed off a great individual action in the Old Lady's counterattack.
In the 25th minute, the guests found the net when, during Juventus' long action, Conceicao's shot was scored from close range by Timothy Weah, but the goal was disallowed because Manuel Locatelli was offside at the beginning of the action. Later, Juve's pressure weakened and there were no goals in Lecce until the break.
Just after the change of sides, the hosts attacked and fired three shots on target in ten minutes, but even the most dangerous one, by Tete Morente, was confidently caught by Mattia Perin from a dozen or so meters. A few minutes later, Nikola Krstović shot past the Juventus goal in a good situation.
Juventus had problems offensively, but they still opened the scoring in the 68th minute. He did it very happily, because after Andrea Cambiaso's long-distance shot, defender Kialonda Gaspar intervened so badly that the ball fell into his goal. However, the goal was scored by Cambiaso because his shot was headed towards Falcone's goal.
There was little indication that there would be a turnaround in this match. Juventus seemed to be the team that was in control of the game and the result at the Stadio Via del Mare, but in the 93rd minute came the 93rd minute when Krstović did well on the left side in Lecce's counterattack, deceiving his opponent and sending a perfect flat cross between the defenders and the goalkeeper, which was on target. The shot was finished by the experienced Ante Rebic. Thanks to a goal by the 2018 World Cup runner-up and former Milan player, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
After this draw, Juventus is sixth in the Serie A table with 26 points, six points behind the leaders Napoli. The paradox of Thiago Motta's team is the fact that it is still undefeated in the Italian league this season, has the best defense in leaguebut out of fourteen matches it drew eight! Lecce is in sixteenth place with 13 points.
