THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL IN SERIE A: Sampdoria was lucky in Lecce

The players of Sampdoria continued with bad results this season, so they barely drew a draw (1:1) away from Lecce, which minimally increased the points balance of the last-placed Serie A team.

After a disastrous first half where the home team managed to send 21 shots at the opponent’s goal in the 45th minute, Dejan Stanković’s team was lucky.

The net only shook once in the 31st minute when Ceesay led Lecce to the lead.

In the continuation, the guests played much more seriously and reached the tie in the 75th minute after the reserve Hesse Rodríguez took advantage of Gabbiadini’s assist and leveled the score.

Lecce could get all three points in this match, but Federico di Francesco’s goal was disallowed for offside after an assist from the VAR room.

After the 30th round of Serie A, Sampdoria has 16 points and is in last place in the table, while the first team above the line, Specija, has 10 points more than Stanković’s team.

Lecce, on the other hand, has two points more than Spezia, so they will fight for survival until the end.
