Hjulmand (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.03/10. Hjulmand served one assist, hit two key passes and had 33 successful passes (of 41 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Salernitana (1-2).Lecce are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. 13 goals have been conceded. When Lecce hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cremonese, Hellas Verona, Sampdoria, Spezia, Sassuolo and Salernitana), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 4 times.

Dybala signed up for two assists, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).

Head 2 Head
