Lecce's Monday match against Udinese ended in a 1-1 tie thanks to a goal from Roberto Piccoli with seven minutes left in regulation, extending the host team's nine-game losing streak in the Italian league. Six minutes after being substituted in, Piccoli netted his first goal for Lecce.
Team Udinese had dropped its first eight league games, but four minutes into the second half, Florian Thauvin's penalty kick conversion gave the squad hope that it would snap that losing run. Udinese only has six points after playing a total of nine games, whereas Lecce has thirteen points after going four games without a victory after picking up 11 points in its first five games. The upcoming game for Lecce comes on Saturday at home against Torino, while the next day, Udinese plays at Monza.
