And also technically, with the goddess who commands but that in the first quarter of an hour only with a header by Pasalic heats Falcone. At 24 ‘a rebound between Hien and Rebic launches Coulibaly to Carnesecchi who is good at rejecting the opponent’s conclusion. At 26 ‘the game changes.

But the attention of the VAR moves a few moments before for a hand of hand of Hien: the pen views it at the monitor and gives the Lecce the penalty. Over Karlsson and brings the Salento to the advantage after 30 ‘. The reaction of Atalanta travels on the left where Lookman seems inspired. At 35 ‘he crosses for Pasalic who turns first towards Falcone who cushions the blow. Rettegui shows up at 43 ‘with a half shot in the large area. In the 3rd of recovery of Falcone double intervention: first on Lookman now one step away from him and then on Zappacosta from the edge. The first half ends 1-0 for Lecce.
