Salernitana caused an upset and won the Serie A Week 20 game against Lecce on Friday 27 January 2023 at the Via del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. A good victory for Salernitana reaching 21 points in the standings, one more than Lecce. At the Via del Mare everything happens in the first half played at a very high pace. Boulaye Dia and Tonny Vilhena sign the double guest advantage then Gabriel Strefezza shortens the distances. In the second half, the guests manage to minimize Lecce’s comeback attempts and bring home three points that are worth overtaking today’s opponents in the standings. Nicola’s team regains victory after seven games and breathes again. Second consecutive stop instead for Baroni’s men who now risk seeing their margin on the relegation zone reduced.
In the next round, Lecce will go to Cremona for a fundamental match for salvation, Salernitana will host Juventus at the Arechi. The big challenge for Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa facing some of the winners of Argentina in the World Cup.
Salernitana opened the score in the 5th minute. Boulaye Dia defeated Lecce goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner.

✅ Stats before the game. Lecce won their only previous match in Serie A, 2-1 against Salernitana on 16 September, with a goal from Assan Ceesay, an own goal from Joan González and the winning goal from Gabriel Strefezza. The Apulian teams have won two of the last three matches against those from Campania in Serie A (both successes for Lecce, against Naples and Salernitana – 1 D), as many successes as those they had obtained in the previous 19. After losing their first three Serie A matches played on Fridays between 1994 and 2020, Lecce have remained unbeaten in the two most recent ones: 2-1 against Salernitana and 1-1 against Udinese, both in the group first leg of this championship. Salernitana have lost their last three away league games and since their return to the top flight, only once have they recorded a longer losing streak: the first four of 2021/22, under Fabrizio Castori.
