Match Report
Lecce pulled off one of the moments of the season at the Mapei Stadium, snatching a 3-2 win over Sassuolo deep into stoppage time to keep their Serie A survival hopes firmly alive.
Walid Cheddira gave the visitors the lead twice — at 14' and again at 25' — but Armand Laurienté pulled Sassuolo level at 20'. Andrea Pinamonti equalized for the second time at 82', setting up a nervy finale. Cristian Volpato then blazed over the bar for the hosts in stoppage time — a miss that proved fatal. Omri Gandelman nodded the ball over the defence for Nikola Stulic, who turned his marker and fired home in the 96th minute. The scenes were frantic, with a Sassuolo bench player red-carded amid the chaos on the touchline.
The result leaves Lecce just one point clear of the relegation zone going into the final matchday. For Sassuolo, throwing away a 2-2 draw in the dying seconds is a painful blow with the season on the line.
