Two rounds before the end of Lecce - the team of our Nikola Krstović - fell into the relegation zone in the Serie A table.
Venice pushed the team from southern Italy below the line with a victory over Fiorentina - it was 2:1 at the Pierluigi Penzo Stadium.
Eusebio di Francesco's team took the lead through a goal from Candeo in the 60th minute, and eight minutes later Oristanio doubled their lead.
The defeat of the "viola" only softened Mandragora, and after more than five months, Venice emerged from the danger zone...
Venice has 29 points, one more than Lecce and Empoli, while Monza was previously relegated to Serie B.
Lecce, who have not won in their last 13 matches, will host Torino in the next round, and in the last round they will meet Lazio in Rome.
Venice has duels with Cagliari in Sardinia and Juventus at home, while Empoli's rivals are Monza away and Verona in Tuscany...
