Unusual scene this Friday evening between Lecce and Udinese. Shortly after half an hour of play, the visitors had obtained a penalty, which Florian Thauvin, a regular shooter of his team should have drawn. Except that the club's top scorer this season, Lorenzo Lucca, refused to leave him to the French.
Several players tried to convince him to let his captain take care of it, in vain. The Italian finally pulled him, even transformed him, before celebrating his goal in a moment of solitude, and being replaced in stride. A sequence that will be talked about, even if the goal for the moment allows Udinese to win (0-1).
