Fiorentina snatch a valuable point away to Lecce in Serie A

Goals in either half

La Viola opened the scoring through Englishman Jack Harrison (30), and the score remained unchanged until the 71st minute when Lecce equalised via Portugal’s Tiago Gabriel.

Table standings tighten

Fiorentina moved to 36 points in 15th place, eight points clear of the danger zone — specifically Lecce in 18th, who have the same tally as 17th-placed Cremonese.

European exit backdrop

The draw comes after Fiorentina’s exit from the Conference League quarter-finals on Thursday, despite a 2–1 second-leg win at home to English side Crystal Palace, having lost the first leg 3–0.

Survival hopes strengthen

La Viola now appear in a strong position in their battle to avoid relegation from the top flight for the first time since 2002.
