08 December 2019 At the 'Via del Mare' rocambolesco 2-2 between Lecce and Genoa.The hosts come from the important external success of Florence. During the week, however, the Salentini were overwhelmed by the Spal in the Italian Cup. Rossettini and Lapadula are disqualified, Dell'Orco goes on defense. In front of La Mantia and Babacar supported by Shakov. The Ligurians, returning from a home defeat against Torino, have not won in the league since October 26th. Thiago Motta focuses on the attacking trident formed by Pandev, Pinamonti and Agudelo.After 4 'Pajac serves from the left but Pandev, disturbed by Calderoni, fails to materialize. The game, sometimes sharp, unlocks at 31 ': Gabriel hits the ball out badly, Pandev checks and kicks a counterbalance left, bypassing the Lecce goalkeeper with a masterful 39 meter lob.
Genoa advantage, but opportunities continue to be few on both sides. Lecce seems to be crushed in their own half and at 47 'Lucioni spreads Pandev in the area. The Lecce defender is late and hits the Macedonian in a crash, Rocchi gives the penalty kick and Criscito scores with a perfect shot. We go to rest with the Salento's under two goals. In the second half Liverani changes Babacar with Falco. At 57 'Calderoni's cross from the left, a break from La Mantia. Radu blocks centrally. Then an opportunity for Genoa with Agudelo who, freed by Pandev, misses the third goal face to face with Gabriel. From the possible 0-3 you pass to the goal that puts in the running the Lecce: on the developments of a corner Falco kicks of left to turn from the right vertex of the area, a brushed throw that finishes to the intersection. In short the situation changes radically: at 69 'second yellow card for Agudelo, who is late on Dell'Orco: the Colombian is expelled, Genoa remains in ten men, in the 70' the Apulians find the equalizer with a shot of head of Tabanelli served from Falco.
The surprises continue: at 77 'second yellow card for Pandev, who is late on Tachtsidis: expelled the Macedonian, Genoa remains in nine. By force of circumstances the inertia of the game changes and first Falco (slightly to the side) and then Petriccione (which commits Radu) go close to the Salento advantage. At 88 'Farias tries with a turn left flight in half inverted, the ball ends high and the result does not change anymore. For the two teams the spell is not interrupted: Lecce has never won at home and Genoa has never won away.
