Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi (Verona)

Match Report
A scrappy relegation six-pointer at the Bentegodi ended goalless, the drama reserved for the 95th minute when Edmundsson thought he had headed Verona to a priceless winner from a Lovric free kick — only for VAR to intervene and referee Massa to overturn the goal for an irregular charge on Lecce goalkeeper Falcone.
The match itself offered little beyond nerves. Lecce's Coulibaly was booked in the 12th minute, with Valentini following in the 21st. Verona looked the brighter side, with Falcone making a sharp save from Akpa Akpro after a neat move involving Belghali. Francesco Camarda, returning from a shoulder injury, came on as a late substitute for the visitors.
The point eases Lecce's survival situation, pulling them further clear of Cremonese at the foot of the table. For Verona, stuck in 19th, the anxiety only deepens — a Lecce win would have sealed their Serie B fate with four games still to play.
