🥶 Lecce fail to cash in: another 0-0, Falcone 🧱 Verona still safe
Lecce fail to take advantage of what looked like an easy game on paper to pull away from Cremonese and, at the Bentegodi against Verona—who postpone mathematical relegation—they only manage a 0-0 draw (yet another in Serie A, which holds the unwanted record for the most goalless results). In an ugly match with few thrills, and a late scare from a disallowed goal for Edmundsson, Wladimiro Falcone was the standout, earning his side a point with a decisive save in the first half.
For Lecce, it now means a one-point lead over Cremonese, and next up another crucial clash against Pisa as they try to make the most of a favorable schedule—unlike what they failed to do at the Bentegodi.
😐 Falcone with his face: yet another save of the year. Goal disallowed in the 90th minute
In the 90th minute, Edmundsson had a goal ruled out after a VAR review: coming off his line, Falcone had been nudged by the Faroe Islands defender.
