A CHANCE WASTED
Lecce take the corner to short Pezzella who fires his cross high and wide and out of play.

FREE KICK IN A DANGEROUS AREA

LOST HIS FOOTING!
Denzel Dumfries bursts through on the right-hand side and has Mkhitaryan alongside him but the Dutch defender looses his footing and Lecce breathe a sigh of relief.
23'
CROSSES FROM BOTH SIDES
Inter are really trying to stretch the pitch and fire crosses in from both sides. The accuracy from the crosses has to improve though if Inter are to benefit.
