Verona, blitz in Lecce: victory and overtaking in the standings
In one Sunday victory, overtaking and temporary exit from the relegation zone.
Verona in ecstasy after the victory in Lecce, which allows the gialloblù to obtain in a single Sunday three fundamental points to the detriment of a direct opponent in the salvation race, with a lot of overtaking in the standings where now the relegation zone è distant 2 points. In the land of Salento è decisive Folorunsho, author of the goal of the decisive 1-0 that represents for the scaligeri the second consecutive success in Serie A.
Verona from the very first minutes shows it wants to play the game in Lecce: in the initial stages of study it’s mainly the guests who try, and the first real thrill è is the work of Folorunsho himself with a header that goes over the crossbar. Lecce reacted with Banda (careful Montipò), but capitulated on 17' when Folorunsho went to the conclusion from outside the box and beat Falcone also thanks to a deflection by Baschirotto.
The hosts try to react, and they are also unlucky: there is a penalty cancelled by Var after an alleged arm deflection by Magnani in the area and a miracle by Montipò on Oudin, then Almqvist hits the crossbar. Lecce was willing at the start of the second half, particularly with Krstovic, but its streak seemed to run out already after the hour of play. Real goal chances don't come anymore, very nervous final: Verona loses Henry for expulsion, particularly agitated also the Salentini coach Roberto D'Aversa.
