Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

SSU Politehnica Timișoara edged Lecce 1-0 in a Club Friendly, with the winning goal arriving late, though the standout figure was Lecce's Hjalte Lærke, who earned a 7.21 rating from midfield in a losing cause. The match was a cagey pre-season affair played at a pedestrian tempo, with neither side willing to over-commit until the final moments.

The deadlock was broken in the 88th minute when an unassisted SSU Politehnica Timișoara striker found the net, punishing Lecce after a spell of sustained pressure. Lecce had earlier lost their composure with yellow cards in the 38th and 49th minutes, while the visitors picked up a caution in the 58th minute, but no red cards or VAR interventions altered the flow.

Lecce dominated the statistics with 58% possession and ten corners to Timișoara's two, yet they could not convert that control into a goal, leaving them outplayed but beaten on efficiency. Hjalte Lærke was the standout for his composed midfield display, topping the ratings despite the defeat. CheckLive's model clearly favoured SSU Politehnica Timișoara, and the result confirmed that pre-match assessment.
