91′ Sardar Azmoun 72′ Pontus Almqvist
94′ Romelu Lukaku
Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Lecce, 11th position with 13 points and a negative goal difference of -2
AS Roma, 9th position with 14 points and a positive goal difference of +7
AS Roma with a sprint race to climb to the top positions won in extreis the Serie A Week 11 game on Sunday 5 November 2023 at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. A deadly one-two in full injury time. Azmoun and Romelu Lukaku overturned the result, allowing Mourinho’s team to regain success and get closer to the Europe zone. Lecce, who put in a convincing performance and had cherished the feat after Almqvist’s lead, were bitterly disappointed.
On the twelfth matchday, Mourinho’s boys are expected by the Capital derby while D’Aversa’s team will host Milan.
Lecce surprised the Roman gladiators by open the score in the 72nd minute. It is Pontus Almqvist to defeat AS Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio with a left footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Lameck Banda.

✅ Stats before the game: Roma have won 23 of 34 Serie A matches against Lecce (9N, 2L), only Inter (26) have managed to beat the Salento team more times in the top flight – moreover, among the teams faced at least 10 times by the Apulian team in the tournament, Lecce achieved fewer successes against anyone than against the Romans (two). Roma have won 82% of their Serie A home games against Lecce (14W, 2D, 1L); among the teams faced at least 15 times at home, the Romans have a better success percentage only against Empoli in the competition (88%). Roma have only gained 14 points so far in the league and for the Giallorossi it is the worst result after the first 10 seasonal matches in Serie A since 2012/13; in case of defeat, however, it would be the worst start since 2009/10 (14 points after 11 matches of the season). After conceding goals in six consecutive home league games, Roma have kept a clean sheet and won in all of their last three; the Giallorossi have not achieved consecutive home clean sheets in Serie A since the period between January and March 2023 (in that case five victories without goals conceded). After remaining unbeaten in the first five matches of this championship (W3, D2), Lecce have suffered three defeats in the five most recent ones (D2); these are as many defeats as those suffered in the previous 12 matches played in Serie A.
