Lecce's best attack yet breaks down on the edge of the Roma box but a great effort from Gendrey wins the ball back for the visitors.

LECCE WASTE POSSESSION AGAIN
The visitors' commitment to their positive style is admirable but they are currently incapable of playing that way without immediately losing the ball.
They don't seem to have a backup plan.

LECCE DEFENDING DESPERATELY

RED CARD LECCE
The visitors are down to 10 men after captain Morten Hjulmand is sent off following a VAR review. His studs definitely struck Belotti's shins, so he can't have a great deal of argument.
