Lecce 2-1 Torino: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Lecce 2-1 Torino in the Serie A on Sunday, 30 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Lecce took control early in the match, striking twice in quick succession to build a commanding lead. L. Coulibaly opened the scoring in the 20th minute with an assist from M. Berisha, followed just two minutes later by L. Banda’s goal, also set up by Berisha, putting the hosts 2-0 up. Torino struggled to respond before the break, with a substitution in the 37th minute seeing G. Gineitis make way for D. Zapata, but Lecce maintained their advantage into half-time.

The second half saw Torino pull one back through C. Adams in the 57th minute, assisted by N. Vlasic, narrowing the gap to 2-1 and injecting some momentum into their play. Lecce made double changes in the 65th minute, with S. Pierotti replaced by Tete Morente and L. Banda making way for R. Sottil, while Torino introduced several substitutes around the 70th minute to push for an equaliser. Despite a missed penalty for Torino in the 90+1st minute and late yellow cards on both sides, Lecce held firm to secure the 2-1 victory.

Possession was evenly split at 48% for Lecce and 52% for Torino, but Lecce’s superior successful dribbles (60 compared to Torino’s 36) highlighted their effectiveness in breaking lines and creating opportunities, which contributed to their early goals. Both teams earned six corners each, yet Lecce capitalised better on attacking transitions, recording two assists to Torino’s one, underscoring Berisha’s influential role in the build-up. Torino took one penalty but missed it late on, which proved costly, while their five substitutions—compared to Lecce’s four—reflected an attempt to chase the game, though it wasn’t enough to overturn the deficit.

Yellow cards were issued to two Lecce players and three to Torino, with no reds, pointing to a competitive but controlled encounter where discipline held despite the tension in the closing stages. The lack of injury-time goals meant the scoreline remained unchanged after Adams’ strike, allowing Lecce’s first-half efficiency to dictate the result.

The match’s decisive phase came early with Lecce’s quickfire goals: Coulibaly’s 20th-minute strike, assisted by Berisha, followed by Banda’s effort two minutes later from the same provider, establishing a 2-0 lead that shaped the game’s direction. Torino’s response arrived in the 57th minute via Adams’ goal, assisted by Vlasic, which halved the deficit and shifted momentum temporarily. A key turning point was Torino’s missed penalty in the 90+1st minute, denying them a potential equaliser, while late substitutions—like Torino’s triple change in the 70th minute where M. Pedersen made way for A. Masina, N. Vlasic for Z. Aboukhlal, and N. Nkounkou for V. Lazaro—aimed to boost their attack but couldn’t force a breakthrough.

Yellow cards added to the late drama, with Ramadani and Veiga booked for Lecce in the 80th and 81st minutes, and Torino’s Casadei, Coco, and Ngonge cautioned at 78’, 83’, and 90+3’ respectively, reflecting the mounting pressure as the visitors pushed forward.

Lecce deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation that emphasised midfield solidity and quick transitions, with Berisha’s playmaking central to their attacking partnerships, evident in his two assists. Coulibaly and Banda formed effective roles in the attacking third, combining well to exploit spaces early on.

Torino lined up in a 3-5-2 shape, relying on wing-back width and midfield energy to build play, with Vlasic’s creativity standing out in setting up Adams’ goal. The defensive trio provided a base, but partnerships in attack took time to gel following early substitutions.

M. Berisha earned Man of the Match honours for his pivotal role in Lecce’s victory, providing assists for both first-half goals and dictating the tempo from midfield. His vision and composure under pressure were key in maintaining control, even as Torino mounted a comeback.
