Lecce emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Unipol Domus in the 25th round of Serie A, thanks to second-half goals by Omri Gandelman and Ylber Ramadani. The first half saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm, with Cagliari unable to capitalize on their superior possession and shot attempts.
Lecce Finds Form After the Break
The second half brought a change in momentum, as Lecce's Omri Gandelman broke the deadlock in the 65th minute with a well-placed shot assisted by Riccardo Sottil. Cagliari's defensive setup faltered, and ten minutes later, Ylber Ramadani doubled the lead, taking advantage of a perfect pass from Lassana Coulibaly.
Cagliari's Missed Opportunities
Cagliari managed 11 shots but couldn't test Lecce's goalkeeper, failing to hit the target even once. Their 59% possession and eight corner kicks were overshadowed by a lack of precision in the final third, highlighting their need for a sharper attacking edge.
Gandelman's Impactful Performance
Omri Gandelman stood out, not only scoring but also winning 11 duels, demonstrating his dominance in the midfield. His performance was a key factor in Lecce's ability to control the game after taking the lead.
Looking Ahead
Lecce's victory marks a crucial turnaround in their form, ending a streak of tough losses against top sides. For Cagliari, the result is a setback after recent impressive performances, and they will need to regroup quickly. As the season progresses, Lecce will aim to build on this win, while Cagliari needs to address their finishing woes to climb the standings.
