Roberto Piccoli scores a late equalizer to give Lecce a 1-1 draw at Udinese in Italian league – News18

ROME: Roberto Piccoli scored with seven minutes remaining to give Lecce a 1-1 draw at Udinese on Monday and extend the home team’s winless run in the Italian league to nine games.

Piccoli scored his first goal for Lecce six minutes after coming on as a substitute.

Udinese lost its first eight matches in the league but the team looked like it might break that streak when Florian Thauvin converted a penalty four minutes into the second half.

Udinese has only six points from nine games while Lecce, which has 13 points, has gone four games without a win after earning 11 points from its first five matches.

Lecce’s next match is at home against Torino on Saturday, while Udinese will play at Monza a day later.
