Lecce-Genoa 2-2: double recovery Giallorossa, Falco and Tabanelli take the Griffin back

LECCE – The 2-2 between Lecce and Genoa does not satisfy anyone. The rossoblu chew bitter due to the lack of success in a competition they had in hand. In a double advantage in the first half, the team of Motta fails with Agudelo the 3-0 that would have closed the accounts and sees the Salento go back into the game with Falco. The young Colombian's day continues with the expulsion that leaves his family outnumbered and paves the way for Tabanelli's draw. The peer, who at the beginning of the second half seemed almost a mirage for the hosts, is no longer enough for Liverani's men, thanks to Pandev's red forcing Genoa into nine. However, the Giallorossi's final forcing has no effect and the teams have to settle for one point each.

Babacar holder, in Genoa space at Pajac

Deprived of the suspended Rossettini and Lapadula, Liverani prefers Dell'Orco to Riccardi in the center of the defense and Babacar to Farias to team up with La Mantia forwards. Thiago Motta dissolves the only real doubts on the eve in favor of Pajac and Pinamonti, who win the ballots with Cassata and Favilli. Genoa starts the challenge with personality and immediately closes Lecce in its half. At 4 'Pandev incredibly misses the deviation of head under goal on a perfect cross from Pajac from the left.

Pandev's magic

The rossoblu push is constant and the hosts struggle to leave. The Griffin, despite the obvious predominance, fails to finalize and to unlock the result a Pandev magic is needed, which redeems the previous mistake on the 31st. The Macedonian intercepts a ball just over the half of the pitch and catches Gabriel with an amazing shot from outside. The Var confirms the goal after a silent check for an offside position by Pinamonti, assessed as having no influence on the Brazilian goalkeeper's postponement.

Pandev's shot worth 0-1

Criscito does not forgive from the spot

The Salento people try timidly to react, but the most incisive actions are still of the Genoa brand. Thiago Motta's team closes the first half ahead, still putting pressure on the Giallorossi defense, and at the end it gets a penalty, granted for Lucioni's intervention on Pandev. From the spot Criscito is confirmed infallible and places the ball at the intersection. At the beginning of the second half, although Lecce shows a more proactive attitude, it is Genoa that has the chance to close the accounts: at 57 ′ Agudelo, launched in the open by Pandev, the occasion of 3-0 is devoured by throwing himself at Gabriel .

Falco and Tabanelli get even

The pace from the failed goal to the one suffered is short and three minutes later the newly entered Falco invents a trajectory on lap from a tight angle that leaves no way out for Radu. To put the Giallorossi back in the game is still Agudelo, expelled for a naive foul against Dell'Orco committed in the opponent's penalty area. The Lecce does not make to pray and it immediately exploits the gift, equalizing the accounts within few seconds. At the resumption of the game, in fact, Falco still strokes a perfect cross for Tabanelli's head that crushes the net at the second post.

Genoa in nine, forcing Lecce

The emotions do not end here because Genoa remains even in nine for the second yellow drawn by Rocchi at Pandev's address. The Salento, so, have thirteen minutes more recovery to win a victory that would be incredible for how the match was put. The Giallorossi forcing, however, does not produce effects and Genoa resists stoically entrenched in his own area. Lecce must still postpone their first home win, but retain four points ahead of the rossoblu, who are unable to dispel the external taboo.
