Lecce vs Parma

Lecce and Parma served up an entertaining draw at the Via del Mare, finishing 2-2 in a game that could have gone either way. The hosts started brightly and had slightly more control with 52 percent possession, but Parma were dangerous on the break and actually managed nine shots to Lecce's eight. The visitors looked capable of nicking it late on, though neither side could find that decisive touch when it mattered. This result leaves both teams with work to do. Lecce will feel they should have won it at home, especially after taking the lead, but they'll take a point against a well-organized Parma side who never stopped fighting. For the visitors, picking up a draw away from home isn't the worst outcome, though they'll wonder if they couldn't have done better given how many chances came their way. The 2-2 scoreline probably sums up a fairly even contest.
