Lecce 1-0 Pisa: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Lecce 1-0 Pisa in the Serie A on Friday, 12 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Lecce secured a 1-0 victory over Pisa in this Serie A encounter. The first half passed without goals, though Pisa picked up an early yellow card for Arturo Calabresi in the 33rd minute, leading to his substitution at half-time for Raúl Albiol. Lecce made an early change too, with Mohamed Kaba replacing Medon Berisha in the 11th minute, but neither side could break the deadlock before the break, reflecting Lecce’s mixed recent form of wins and losses while Pisa arrived on a run of defeats.

The second half saw more action as Lecce introduced Lameck Banda and Nikola Stulic around the 66th and 67th minutes, replacing Santiago Pierotti and Francesco Camarda respectively. The decisive moment came in the 72nd minute when Nikola Stulic scored, assisted by Lameck Banda, giving Lecce the lead they held onto despite late yellow cards for Tete Morente and Kialonda Gaspar. Pisa, who have now lost three in a row, made further substitutions like Samuele Angori and Matteo Tramoni in the 59th minute, but couldn’t find an equaliser, extending their poor streak.

Lecce edged possession with 51% compared to Pisa’s 49%, allowing them to control more of the game’s tempo while Pisa relied on quick transitions, as shown by their 42 successful dribbles against Lecce’s 15. The home side dominated corners 12-1, creating sustained pressure that eventually paid off, though both teams used all five substitutions to manage fatigue and tactics. Lecce recorded one assist leading to their goal, with yellow cards totalling two for them and one for Pisa, pointing to a disciplined match without reds or penalties.

The game’s turning point arrived in the 72nd minute when Nikola Stulic scored for Lecce, assisted by Lameck Banda, breaking the deadlock after a series of second-half substitutions that boosted the home attack. Earlier, Pisa’s Arturo Calabresi received a yellow card in the 33rd minute for a foul, prompting his half-time replacement by Raúl Albiol. Lecce’s late changes, including Tete Morente and Antonino Gallo coming on in the 74th minute for Riccardo Sottil and Corrie Ndaba, helped shore up the defence, while their own yellow cards to Tete Morente in the 85th and Kialonda Gaspar in the 90th reflected mounting tension as they protected the slim lead.

Lecce lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Nikola Stulic proving crucial up front after coming on as a substitute to score the winner. Mohamed Kaba provided midfield stability following his early entry, while Lameck Banda’s assist highlighted effective wing play in partnership with the forwards. The setup allowed for defensive solidity, as seen in Kialonda Gaspar’s role before his late booking.

Pisa deployed a 3-5-2 shape, relying on midfield width to counter Lecce’s pressure, though Arturo Calabresi’s early yellow card disrupted the backline before Raúl Albiol replaced him. Substitutes like Samuele Angori and Matteo Tramoni added energy in the second half, aiming to support the forward line. The formation emphasised dribbling threats, but they struggled to convert chances against Lecce’s defence.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Adrian Semper, who stood out with two key saves that kept Pisa in the contest despite conceding one goal. His two clearances and one punch helped manage Lecce’s 12 corners effectively, demonstrating strong command of the box. Semper’s performance underlined his importance in a match where Pisa faced sustained pressure.
