Bologna made the trip to Stadio Via del Mare on Sunday, 11 October 2026 and left with a hard-fought 1-2 win over Lecce. The visitors took control early, going into the break a goal up, and looked the sharper side for long spells. Lecce tried to force their way back into it after the restart, pushing bodies forward, but Bologna held firm enough and doubled their advantage before the home side pulled one back late on. By then it was too little, too late for Lecce, who couldn't find the second goal that would have salvaged a point. The result keeps Bologna's momentum going and will give real confidence heading into the next round of fixtures. For Lecce, there are positives to take from the second-half response, even if the final numbers don't reflect it kindly. Dropping another home game won't sit well with the fans inside Via del Mare, and questions will be asked about how a one-goal half-time deficit turned into a defeat they never quite recovered from.
