One point each, but above all the smile is on Lecce which takes another (perhaps decisive) step towards salvation. The Cagliari salvation will have to be worked out, the next two away games (Milan and the direct clash with Sassuolo before the home match against Fiorentina) will say a lot about the Sardinians’ future. Who took control of the game in the first half, took the lead (with Mina) and conceded little or nothing. But then Gaetano celebrates his 24th birthday in the worst way, getting sent off for a high-footed tackle on Ramadani who doesn’t escape the VAR. The game changes like this, in the second half Lecce pours into the opponent’s half of the pitch, finding the equalizer with Krstovic and hits two poles. It ends 1-1.
