Lecce vs Bologna: Fan protests and low TV viewership

During the sixth round of Serie A, the match between Lecce and Bologna at the Ettore Giardiniero stadium saw significant fan involvement. Before kickoff, Lecce ultras in the Curva Nord expressed dissent against the Lega Calcio and modern football by throwing flares and firecrackers onto the track, which forced the referee to delay the start of the match.

Despite the disruption, the Lecce supporters remained highly active throughout the game, including a tribute to Alex, a deceased Lecce ultra. Bologna ultimately won the match 2-1.

In terms of media reach, the Lecce-Bologna fixture recorded an average of 120,249 viewers on DAZN, making it the least-watched match of the round. This stands in contrast to the Cagliari-Juventus match, which led the round with 1,141,752 average viewers.
