Pisa Relegated After 2-1 Home Loss to Lecce

Overview

• Lecce, which won 2-1 on Friday in Pisa, sealed the home side’s relegation from Serie A.
• Banda put Lecce ahead after halftime, Mehdi Léris briefly equalized, and Walid Cheddira sealed it on 65, after Wladimiro Falcone’s early saves kept Pisa out.
• The victory moved Lecce four points clear of 18th-place Cremonese with three matches left for Lecce and a Cremonese game against Lazio still to come.
• Verona were also mathematically relegated, Yahoo Sports reported Saturday, based on the gap that cannot be closed in the final rounds.
• Pisa drop after a year of struggle that brought only two wins and 18 points in 35 games, capping a run of nine losses in their last ten.
