Crazy final in Lecce. The home team won 3-2 against Fiorentina: in the 90th minute the score was 1-2, goals from Piccoli and Dorgu turned everything around and gave three very important points to the Giallorossi. A thriller final after a match full of opportunities, with the Viola coming back in the second half (Mandragora and Beltran, the second goal following a mistake by Falcone) after Oudin’s lead. The Italian seemed one step away from returning to success, but instead he found another heavy defeat: the third in the last four in the championship, not counting the Super Cup. Now the Champions League zone risks slipping away, Lecce is breathing.

The social moment
Mvp
Patrick DORGU – He comes on at the end in place of Gallo, is in the right place at the right time and makes Via del Mare explode: his left-footed shot in the 92nd minute is worth three points.
Fantasy football
Promoted. Roberto PICCOLI-The attacker also doesn’t need much to make an impact: he comes on in the 69th minute for Oudin and with a wonderful flight he scores the 2-2 in the 90th minute. A +3 which can be difficult for Fantasy Football.
Rejected. Vladimiro FALCONE-Luckily for him and Lecce, Beltran’s mistake during the 2-1 did not cost any points. But what a duck… And he also concedes two goals, not great news for the fantasy coaches.
