Lecce-Sassuolo ends in a goalless draw at the Via del Mare. It was a match full of memories for Di Francesco, who spent five seasons on the Sassuolo bench, achieving the club’s first historic promotion to Serie A in 2013.

Another point in the standings for the Giallorossi, who had secured their first league win in the previous matchday, while for the Neroverdi it’s their third consecutive unbeaten game: a total of 10 points earned in the last five matches.

The first half was played at a very slow pace at the Via del Mare, with a compact Lecce side blocking passing lanes and references for Sassuolo. It was actually the Giallorossi who were more enterprising in the first 45 minutes, creating three good chances.

In the 4th minute, Lecce tried to strike when a cross from Pierotti led to a chance for a shot from the edge of the area by Ramadani. However, his shot went wide.

Lecce again in the 13th minute: a solo run by Danilo Veiga, one of the brightest players on the pitch, with a nutmeg and a near-post shot that didn’t trouble Muric.

In the 37th minute, once again it was the Salentini threatening: the best chance of the first half, with Stulic’s left-footed shot from the edge, but it too went wide.

In the second half, Sassuolo tried to push more, but couldn’t find the decisive touch. In the 57th minute, Laurienté, who would soon be substituted, missed a crucial pass to Pinamonti, who would have been one-on-one with Falcone.

In the 64th minute, the best chance for the Neroverdi, set up by a mistake from Veiga, was wasted by Berardi, who fired wide.

In stoppage time, Tiago Gabriel stayed down after taking a powerful ball to the face, but that was the last gasp of the match.
