PISA, Italy (AP) — Lecce beat Pisa 2-1 on Friday, securing promotion to Serie A while condemning both Pisa and Verona to relegation.
Match Details
Lameck Banda put Pisa ahead in the 52nd minute, but Mehdi Léris equalized just four minutes later.
Walid Cheddira scored the winning goal in the 65th minute, lifting Lecce four points above the relegation zone with three matches remaining.
Relegation fallout
Pisa, promoted from Serie B just one year ago, finishes with only two wins from 35 games this season.
Verona finishes second-from-bottom with 19 points—one more than Pisa—but cannot catch Lecce, which sits fourth-to-last with 32 points.
Venezia Promoted
Venezia secured promotion from Serie B after a 2-2 draw with Spezia gave the club the point needed.
Giovanni Stroppa's team tops the table, one point ahead of Frosinone, which can also achieve promotion with a win or draw against Mantova in its final match next Friday.
