The official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights from the final-day contest between Lazio and Lecce.
The Biancocelesti needed a single point to secure a spot in the Conference League, but they couldn’t put down the Giallorossi. The visitors stunned the Olimpico by snatching the lead late in the first half through Lassana Coulibaly who pounced on Mario Gila’s mistake.
A few minutes later, Lecce were reduced to ten when Santiago Pierotti was given a second yellow card for tripping Nuno Tavares. Nevertheless, the home side was still unable to break the resistance despite having a numerical advantage for an entire half.
Taty Castellanos, Matteo Guendouzi and Pedro were all denied by an inspired Wladimiro Falcone, while Boulaye Dia’s header pounced off the woodwork. In the final minutes, Alessio Romagnoli’s foolish red card illustrated a campaign that started on a positive note, but ended up being a major letdown.
