Football: Serie A, Lecce-Como 0-3

Turin, 27 December (LaPresse) – Como enjoyed an easy victory, beating Lecce 3-0 at the Via del Mare stadium in the Serie A matchday 17 fixture, returning to winning ways after two defeats and climbing to 27 points, in sixth place on their own. Nico Paz broke the deadlock in the 21st minute with a superb goal – with a decisive deflection by Tiago Gabriel – despite protests from the home side for an alleged foul on Ramadani. In the second half, on the visitors’ first real attack, Ramon doubled the lead in the 21st minute in a scramble following a corner kick, just as the Apulians were pushing hardest in search of an equaliser. Ten minutes later, Douvikas made it three with a diagonal shot that surprised Flacone. Lecce remain on 16 points, temporarily four points above the relegation zone.
