Game Review
In a closely contested Serie A encounter, Lecce edged past Udinese with a 2-1 victory on Sunday, 8 February 2026. The match, part of Gameweek 24, saw Lecce capitalize on their home advantage to secure three crucial points. This result was somewhat expected given Lecce's recent form and home performance. The game started with Lecce taking an early lead through Omri Gandelman (GAP -1.1%), who found the net in the 5th minute. This early goal set the tone for Lecce, who looked to control the game from the outset. However, Udinese responded in the 26th minute with a goal from Oumar Solet (GAP +0.1%), leveling the score and ensuring a competitive first half. The decisive moment came in the 90th minute when substitute Lameck Banda (GAP -1.9%) scored the winning goal for Lecce. Banda's late strike was a testament to Lecce's persistence and tactical adjustments, which ultimately paid off. In terms of tactical analysis, Lecce's manager made four substitutions, bringing in Konan N’Dri, Nikola Štulić, Lameck Banda, and Jamil Siebert. These changes were instrumental in maintaining the team's energy and pressing strategy throughout the match. On the other hand, Udinese's head coach also made four substitutions, introducing Christian Kabasele, Oier Zarraga, Idrissa Gueye, and Nicolò Zaniolo, but these changes were unable to alter the outcome in their favor. The Game Advantage Percentage (GAP) data highlights the contributions of key players, with Kingsley Ehizibue (GAP -2.4%) and Santiago Pierotti (GAP -1.9%) being particularly influential in their respective roles. This victory for Lecce strengthens their position in the mid-table, providing a boost in confidence as they aim to climb higher in the Serie A standings. For Udinese, the defeat serves as a reminder of the challenges they face in securing points away from home, and they will need to regroup quickly to improve their league position.

What is GAP?
What is Plus Minus Goals (G±)?
Plus Minus Goals (G±) is the average goal difference per game while the player was on the pitch. A value above 0 indicates that the team rather wins, a value below 0 means his team concedes more goals than they score when the player is on the pitch. As an example, if the player's team is winning 3:1 the goal difference is +2, if the player's team is loosing 0:1, the goal difference is -1. It is a pure metric which is barely adjusted for circumstances to purely show the goal difference.
What is GAP?
GAP (Game Advantage Percentage) shows the percentage gap between a player and the average league player. It answers the question: How much does a player improve or worsen a team's performance? It is based on high level game data with a focus on the impact on the goal difference (G±) from the last 50 games of a player. Besides that, GAP goes further and considers game context by involving data from the player and all other players who are at the same time on the pitch, no matter if teammates or opponents. Football GAP - the individual metric for team players.
