Atalanta and Lecce ended the Serie A Week 34 game with a draw on Sunday 27 April 2025 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy.  A crucial moment for Lecce in their fight for survival, as they pull away from Venezia and Empoli, who are both just 2 points behind and in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Atalanta strengthens their hold on third place, closing in on Inter, who are second and have suffered two straight losses, now sitting 6 points ahead while Juventus, Bologna, and Roma trail by 3 and 5 points respectively.

In the first half, Hien’s handball led to a penalty for Lecce, which Karlsson successfully converted. Atalanta quickly responded but faced a well-organized defense, bolstered by an impressive performance from goalkeeper Falcone. In the second half, Karlsson fouled in the box, allowing Retegui to score from the penalty spot and equalize the match.

Lecce hasn’t tasted victory in the league since January 31, when they lost 1-3 to Parma, and now they are under pressure from Venezia and Empoli, who are just one point behind.

Bottom line, Lecce is in desperate need of points for survival: the Salento team hasn’t secured a victory in three months (last winning 3-1 against Parma), and since then, they’ve faced only losses and draws, causing Marco Giampaolo’s squad to plummet in the rankings.

Lecce will step onto the pitch wearing plain shirts, devoid of colors, emblems, and logos, to express their protest. In a press release issued shortly before the game, the Salento club voiced their opposition to the Lega Serie A’s decision to reschedule the match against Atalanta just hours after the passing of Graziano Fiorita, the team’s masseur, who died while the team was in training.


Lecce scored first in the 29th minute when Jesper Karlsson netted a penalty with a right-footed shot to the center. The penalty was awarded after Isak Hien committed a handball in the box.

Atalanta brought the score to 1-1 in the 69th minute when Mateo Retegui scored a penalty with a right-footed shot to the center. The penalty was awarded after Jesper Karlsson fouled Juan Cuadrado in the box. Retegui is still the leading scorer with 24 goals.

✅ Stats before the game.

Atalanta has triumphed in their last three league matches against Lecce, keeping a clean sheet each time with a total score of 7-0, following two losses in the 2022/23 season. They have only managed to secure four straight victories against Lecce in Serie A once before, from 2000 to 2002.

Atalanta has the chance to achieve four straight clean sheets against Lecce in Serie A for the first time, having previously managed three between 2000 and 2001. They have also stayed unbeaten in 12 out of their 14 home matches against Lecce in Serie A, with a record of 7 wins and 5 draws; Lecce’s only two victories away came on February 19, 2023 (2-1) and March 13, 1994 (4-3).

Atalanta have kept a clean sheet in 14 of their 33 matches in this championship, in the entire last Serie A season they had recorded 15 clean sheets in 38 matchdays. If they did not concede a goal in this match they would rise again to 15, and only once have they done better in a single season in the top flight (16 clean sheets in 2016/17).
In Atalanta’s last 10 Serie A matches, both teams have never found the back of the net: seven clean sheets for the Goddess but with five games without a goal for the Lombardy team.

Since the beginning of February 2025, only Monza (two) have earned fewer points than Lecce in Serie A (three in 10 matches); the Apulians could in fact record a streak of at least 11 games without a win in the top flight for the first time since the period between October and December 2008 (12 in that case).
