Lazio 2-0 Lecce: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Lazio 2-0 Lecce in the Serie A on Sunday, 23 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Lazio dominated possession from the outset but struggled to break down Lecce's resolute defence in the opening exchanges, with the visitors holding firm despite being pinned back. The breakthrough came in the 29' when Mattéo Guendouzi scored for Lazio, assisted by Toma Basic, giving the home side a deserved lead going into half-time. Both teams made changes at the interval, but the game remained tightly contested with few clear chances.

The second half saw Lazio continue to press, though Lecce threatened on the counter with their effective dribbling. A late yellow card for Guendouzi in the 79' added some tension, and substitutions flowed as both sides sought to influence the outcome. The match was sealed in the 90' with Tijjani Noslin's goal for Lazio, unassisted, securing a hard-fought victory despite Lecce's spirited performance.

Lazio's commanding 67% possession allowed them to dictate the tempo, translating into eight corners compared to Lecce's two, which highlighted their territorial dominance and created multiple set-piece opportunities that kept the pressure on the visitors. However, Lecce edged the successful dribbles with 63 to Lazio's 58, suggesting they were more effective in individual battles and transitions, potentially keeping the game closer than the possession stats implied. With five substitutions each, both teams refreshed their line-ups effectively; for instance, Lazio saw M. Vecino replace D. Cataldi at 46', while Lecce brought on N. Stulic for F. Camarda and L. Banda for M. Berisha at the same time, which helped maintain energy levels but ultimately couldn't overturn Lazio's assist advantage of 1-0 that contributed to their goals.

The single yellow card apiece—Guendouzi for Lazio and N'Dri for Lecce—reflected a competitive but fair encounter without red cards or penalties, ensuring the match flowed without major disruptions. No injury-time goals were recorded, meaning the result was decided within regulation time, with Lazio's superior possession and corner count proving decisive in wearing down Lecce despite the latter's dribbling prowess.

The game's pivotal moment arrived in the 29' when Mattéo Guendouzi found the net for Lazio with an assist from Toma Basic, shifting the momentum firmly in the hosts' favour after a period of sustained pressure. Half-time substitutions added fresh legs, with Lazio bringing on M. Vecino in place of D. Cataldi at 46', while Lecce introduced N. Stulic for F. Camarda and L. Banda for M. Berisha at the same juncture, aiming to inject energy into their respective attacks. A yellow card to Guendouzi at 79' briefly unsettled Lazio, followed by N'Dri's booking for Lecce at 82', heightening the tension in the closing stages.

The decisive turning point came in the 90' as Tijjani Noslin scored unassisted for Lazio, capitalising on a late opportunity to seal the win. Impact substitutions like G. Isaksen making way for Pedro at 82' and double changes at 87' where M. Gila was replaced by Patric and B. Dia by Noslin helped Lazio maintain control, while Lecce's adjustments, such as R. Sottil off for S. Pierotti at 63' and the 76' switches of L. Coulibaly for M. Kaba and Tete Morente for K. Ndri, showed intent but couldn't produce a comeback.

Lazio lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with strong partnerships evident in midfield where Mattéo Guendouzi provided dynamism and goal threat, complemented by Toma Basic's creative assists. The defensive structure held firm, allowing wingers like Pedro to exploit spaces later in the game after coming on, while the forward line benefited from Noslin's late impact.

Lecce deployed a 4-2-3-1 setup, focusing on a solid double pivot in midfield to counter Lazio's possession, with players like L. Banda adding flair after entering at half-time. The attacking midfield trio aimed to support the lone striker through effective dribbles, as seen in their statistical edge in that area, while defensive partnerships worked hard to limit corners and set-pieces.

Mattéo Guendouzi earned Man of the Match honours for his influential performance in Lazio's midfield, scoring the opening goal in the 29' and driving the team forward with relentless energy. Despite picking up a yellow card in the 79', his overall contribution, including key involvement in build-up play, was crucial in breaking down Lecce's defence and securing the victory. Guendouzi's display exemplified the blend of creativity and tenacity that defined Lazio's success.
