Lecce moved away from the danger zone, with its third victory out of the 5 matches it has played so far under the leadership of its new coach Luca Guti, and it came at the expense of its host and survival rival Sassuolo 3-0 in the thirty-third stage of the Italian Football League.
For the first time since October 2, 2005, against Cagliari at home, Lecce scored two goals in the first quarter-hour through Frenchman Valentin Gendry (11) and Danish Patrick Durgo (15), before finally clinching their eighth victory of the season, with a third goal scored by Roberto Piccoli (61). .
Thus, Lecce continued its uprising led by Guti, the 56-year-old who took over the job to succeed Roberto D'Aversa, after the latter lost his job for headbutting French Verona striker Thomas Henry (0-1) during the twenty-eighth stage.
Guti succeeded in his first test, and gave Lecce only their second victory in 13 stages, at the expense of Salernitana (1-0), then imposed a goalless draw on Roma, before losing 3-0 to second-placed Milan.
But in the last stage, his team returned to the path of victories at the expense of Empoli (1-0), before adding a new victory on Sunday, raising its score to 35 points in thirteenth place.
