Serie B excitements in the penultimate matchday.
Vicenza vs Lecce.
Vicenza needs the points to avoid instant relegation, Lecce is top of the league (68 pts), scores the opener in the 67th minute, their fans throw stuff at the Vicenza goalkeeper, game is paused for a long time. Vicenza equalizes with a PK in the 95th minute and Filippo Ranocchia scores his first goal of the season with a long range shot in the 103rd minute. That's with 14 minutes added time!
Meanwhile, Cremonese (65 pts) loses at home to Ascoli (59 pts), Brescia (63 pts) lost away to Cittadella who have nothing to play for, Monza (64 pts) enters auto-promotion territory with an easy 3-0 win over Benevento (63 pts) and Pisa (63 pts) fucks up against relegation battler Cosenza, 1-1 at home!
Lecce's next game is versus doomed Pordenone at home, so a lot of people assume it was fixed, since Lecce knew that their top spot wasn't at risk following the other results.
Lecce would have been Serie B champions with a win and hold a festa at home, but now they need to also secure 3 points, but that's irrelevant to people's minds. And they could have won as they had a great chance but their attacker messed up the final pass - and picked the wrong teammate. It was right before Vicenza's winner.
