Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was at a loss to explain how his team let a 1-0 halftime lead slip away in their disappointing 2-1 defeat by Lecce in Serie A on Wednesday."It's difficult to give an explanation after these situations.
The team played thirty minutes of high level, in complete control of the match," Sarri told Sky Sports. "It's not a tactical problem".
Lazio scored the opening goal through Ciro Immobile's fierce right-footed drive. However, after the break Lecce staged an impressive comeback with Gabriel Stefezza's 57th-minute strike and Lorenzo Colombo's 71st-minute winner.
The result left Lazio fifth in the standings with 30 points from 16 games, while Lecce are 13th with 18 points."If we don't beat Lecce it means that, perhaps, we are inferior to what we think we are.
