Lecce lost the Serie A Week 1 on Monday 19 August 2024 at the Via Del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. Atalanta claimed the away victory after a rough first thirty minutes, struggling to find their rhythm. Undeniable, once Gasperini’s team found their footing, they dominated the game. Furthermore, Mateo Retegui and Marco Brescianini both netted two goals, effectively dismantling Lecce, who seemed to vanish after the first half’s midpoint. Despite several key absences, Atalanta clearly signals their intent to their competitors. In sum, Atalanta have now won four of their last five away games (L1) against Lecce in Serie A.
Next up, Lecce will challenge Inter, while Atalanta prepares to meet Torino.
Previously, Lecce has faced defeat in their last two league matches at the Via del Mare, and they haven’t managed to score a single goal. In fact, throughout their Serie A history, the Salento team has only experienced three consecutive home losses without scoring once. Having said that, this occurred between May 1991 and September 1993.
