Lecco, 27 April 2024 – The dream is broken. After after just one season in Serie B, Lecco was relegated to Serie C three days in advance. It was the Lombards who condemned it the 4-0 defeat suffered at Tardini against Parma. The numerous changes in technical leadership made by president Di Nunno during the season were of no avail. Foschi, Bonazzoli, Aglietti and Malgrati alternated on the Blucelesti bench.
After a particular start to the championship, having started late, the team seemed to have found a good rhythm and flow, but at the end of the year the results plummeted and in 2024 there was only one victory – two weeks ago against Reggiana – and three draws. For the rest eleven knockouts, of which six consecutive. Lecco had conquered Serie B a year ago by winning the Serie C play-off.
The match
Great protagonist today, Adrian Bernabé, author of a brace already in the first half hour: the Spanish midfielder broke the deadlock in the 16th minute with an assist from Bonny and he dropped the hat trick picking up the invitation from Hernani’s band. In the middle, Mihaila’s second goal was to lash out at the short rebound from the visiting defense and fire a right-foot shot past Melgrati. The latter did well in the second half, with the result already largely sealed, to deny the joy of the goal to Estevez and Partipilo, in two circumstances, just like his colleague Chichizola who saved the unbeaten record which went up to 411′ against Novakovich and Sersanti. Then in the finale he has Camara poker dropped on Sohm’s verticalization.
