Lecce beat Sassuolo 3-0

With three straight draws, the Neroverdi had at least stopped the rot, but they were still in the bottom two, with injuries to Domenico Berardi, Samu Castillejo, and Marcus Pedersen. Despite Pontus Almqvist's suspension and the long-term absences of Lameck Banda, Mohamed Kaba, Jeppe Corfitzen, and Kastriot Dermaku, Lecce turned to a 4-4-2 formation after rallying late to defeat Empoli. After a corner, Alexis Blin's header went just over, but it was simply a warning for the goal, which came from Valentin Gendrey out-jumping Thorstvedt to tip in a Remy Oudin free kick at the back post.

From the beginning, Lecce shown greater aggression and confidence, and they increased their advantage twofold when Antonino Gallo crossed the goal from the left, allowing Patrick Dorgu to score almost unhindered. In addition, Gregoire Defrel blasted over, Andrea Pinamonti guided a free header inches over, and nobody was prepared to meet Mattia Viti's pull-back from the by-line.
