Lecce claimed a 2-0 Serie A win at Venezia, despite being second best for long spells. Olaf Gorter and Tiago Gabriel scored after the break to turn the game decisively in the visitors' favour.
Gorter put Lecce ahead in the 46th minute, finishing from Lassana Coulibaly's assist, and Tiago Gabriel doubled the lead in the 80th minute with an unassisted strike. Venezia pressed throughout but could not find a way back, with four yellow cards shown across the match.
The statistics showed a one-sided contest in Venezia's favour: they had 71% possession, 18 shots to 12, and six big chances to three. Yet they missed all six of those big chances, while Lecce scored two from their five shots on target to take the points.
