Milan, Nov. 2 (LaPresse) – Lecce won 1-0 away at Fiorentina in a match of the 10th round of Serie A. A crucial three points in the relegation battle for the Salentini, who move up to 9 points in the standings, while Fiorentina remain second to last with 4 points. For Fiorentina coach Stefano Pioli, it is probably the bitterest outcome, with his dismissal almost certain. The first half at the Franchi Stadium was balanced, with several chances on both sides. The goal that broke the deadlock came in the 23rd minute, when Tete Morente delivered a precise cross to Berisha, who calmly finished in one touch past De Gea. Fiorentina were booed as they tried to respond but rarely troubled the Lecce defense. Kean and Dzeko attempted to connect, but with little success. In the second half, Pioli went all-in, even bringing on Gudmundsson for an ultra-offensive formation. The Viola came close to equalizing several times, and a penalty for a foul on Ranieri was initially awarded but later overturned by VAR. Fiorentina’s relentless attack in the six minutes of added time proved fruitless. The match ended with a Lecce victory, delighting the visitors while it was a night to forget for the Viola.
