Lecco U19 produced a clinical away performance to beat Brescia U19 3-1 in the Italian Campionato Primavera 2 on Saturday, with Andrea Viganò scoring twice in a result that strengthens Lecco’s early-season momentum.

Match overview

Lecco started brightly and took the lead inside the opening quarter-hour when Viganò latched onto a through ball and finished calmly past the Brescia goalkeeper. Brescia responded with a period of sustained possession and equalised before half-time through Luca Fontana, who converted from close range after a well-worked move down the left.

The second half belonged to Lecco. Viganò restored the lead in the 62nd minute with a first-time finish from the edge of the box, and Riccardo Sala added a third in the 79th minute after a quick counterattack. Brescia pushed bodies forward late on but could not find a way back into the game.

Key moments

• 13’ – Goal, Lecco: Viganò races clear and finishes low for the opener.
• 41’ – Goal, Brescia: Fontana levels after a sustained spell of pressure.
• 62’ – Goal, Lecco: Viganò strikes first time from the edge of the area.
• 79’ – Goal, Lecco: Sala finishes a fast break to make it 3-1.

Tactical story

Lecco used a compact 5-3-2 shape without the ball and looked to spring forward through the channels. That approach worked perfectly against a Brescia side that committed numbers to attack and left space behind its full-backs. Brescia controlled possession for long spells but struggled to create clear chances against Lecco’s low block. Lecco’s willingness to counter quickly was the defining feature of the match.

Standout players

Viganò was the standout performer, combining movement, finishing and link-up play. Sala’s energy in transition gave Lecco an outlet throughout the second half, while the Lecco goalkeeper handled Brescia’s crosses well under late pressure. Brescia’s Fontana was their brightest attacking player and took his goal with confidence, but the home side lacked the same cutting edge in the final 20 minutes.

Season impact

The win gives Lecco U19 another important three points in the Campionato Primavera 2 table and reinforces their reputation as a dangerous counterattacking side. Brescia U19 are left to reflect on a second home defeat of the campaign, with their possession game needing more penetration if they are to climb the standings.
