Impact Colombo drew the nod over Assan Ceesay and was fairly lively but never particularly dangerous. The coach has gone back and forth at the position, and neither striker has gained much pace. He has logged five off-target shots, one chance created, and four tackles (all won) in the last four matches (two starts).

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Gendrey - Provides assist in Lazio bout Gendrey drew one foul and assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-2 draw against Lazio.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Strefezza - Misses PK and assists versus Lazio Strefezza missed a penalty kick and assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-2 draw against Lazio.

Impact Strefezza had a rollercoaster of a game as he sent his attempt from the spot wide in the early going, but he atoned later on by stripping an opponent deep and setting up Remi Oudin with a through ball early in the second half. He's now up to three assists in the season. He has dished two in his last five appearances, adding one goal, 13 shots (three on target), and 13 chances created. Lecce will host Spezia next Sunday.

He has unseated Joan Gonzalez and Youssef Maleh since he was turned into a box-to-box. He has recorded nine shots (six on target), 11 chances created, 37 crosses (12 accurate), and 20 corners in the last five matches. Lecce will host Spezia next Sunday.

He has kept one clean sheet in the last five fixtures, making 14 saves and conceding seven goals. Lecce will host Spezia next Sunday.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marin Pongracic - DNP against Verona Pongracic (ankle) didn't feature in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Pongracic was back on the bench after missing months following ankle surgery.
