The match saw numerous close calls and missed opportunities. At the 81st minute, guest team Frosinone almost equalised the score with Harroui taking a shot at goal, just missing by a few centimetres. Lecce also had their share of near misses with Piccoli aiming high above the crossbar at the 77th minute and a chance led by Gendrey at the 60th minute that narrowly missed the side of the net.
In the first half, Lecce seized the initiative when a mistake by Turati in the 11th minute resulted in a goal for Piccoli. According to reports, an unsuccessful clearance by Turati led Banda to feed the ball to Piccoli, who swiftly turned and delivered a low shot to the near post, leaving Turati unable to prevent the goal.
However, Frosinone quickly retaliated in the 32nd minute. Awarded a penalty, Kaio Jorge took to the spot with Soulè leaving him the ball. His shot slid into the corner of the net, giving the goalkeeper, Falcone, little chance to react.
