Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Inter, 1st position with 63 points and a positive goal difference of +47
Lecce, 14th position with 24 points and a negative goal difference of -15
Lecce crumbled! Inter grabbed this away victory in the Serie A Week 26 on Sunday 25 February 2024 at the Via del Mare Stadium in Lecce, Italy. Inter are the only team showing consistency this season in all fields. Inter are in the 1st position and with a game to recover. Lecce are down to the 14th position. Inter reached 66 points and are +9 points over Juventus in the 2nd position. Lecce, after a first half with a good pace, collapses in the second half and remains at 24 points, +4 from the relegation zone.
It ends with a clear victory for Inter 4-0. The Nerazzurri took the lead after a quarter of an hour with Lautaro Martinez, in the second half, in two minutes, Frattesi and the Argentine again closed the game. The fourth goal was scored by De Vrij who rounded off the result with a header shot. And Lecce? Ooops… it seems they forgot to react.
