Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo
42nd Minute
Musso launched the goal kick high and long, the ball soaring through Bergamo's morning air with enough power to clear Lecce's first line of pressure, and it hung for what felt like three full seconds before gravity dragged it down toward the halfway line where bodies converged.
Tolói rose above two yellow shirts, Gendrey and Hjulmand both jumping but neither matching the Argentine's timing, and his forehead met the ball with perfect contact, a powerful flick-on that sent it arcing forward into no-man's-land forty yards from Lecce's goal.
The ball dropped into the space between Lecce's midfield and defensive lines, contested territory where neither team had clear possession, and Demien was already moving before it landed.
