Nikola Krstović's projectile in the 92nd minute was not enough for Leće to win over Monza and score probably key points in the fight for survival in Serie A.
The team from the south of Italy is certainly close to the goal, but today at the "Via del Mare" stadium, they lost two points after the guests scored a penalty in the 96th minute to equalize - 1:1.
It was the sixth goal in the league of the Montenegrin national team player this season in the league, but also the first since January 28 and the visit to Genoa. Krstović was the scorer twice against Monza, and he also hit the net against Sassuolo, Salernitana and Fiorentina.
"Nikola lives for goals. "He had a period of the season when he hit the net, then a period when he didn't, but even then he contributed, he just wasn't rewarded with goals," said Leće coach Luka Goti.
It seemed that Krstović would become a hero, and after the official announcer and fans euphorically shouted his name several times, the equalizer followed.
Lorenzo Venuti played a handball in his penalty area, and Matteo Pesina easily rattled the net...
Lecce is 13th in the Serie A table, has eight points more and a match more than Udinese, who are in the relegation zone and who are visiting Bologna today at 15 p.m.
"If we won, that would be it, we could say that we are close. And now we need to return to reality and continue to fight," Gati added.
