Serie A - Promotion joy for Lecce and Cesena

Lecce and Cesena were promoted to Serie A on the final day of fixtures in Italian football's second tier.

Lecce, having wasted opportunities to make sure of promotion in their last two matches, are celebrating their eighth elevation to the top flight in the last 25 years after a goalless home draw with Sassuolo clinched the Serie B title.

Cesena accompany the Salentini into Serie A, with on-loan Chievo midfielder Marco Parolo giving them a 1-0 win at Piacenza which sealed the runners-up spot and ended a 19-year exile from the top division.

Brescia, who started the day in second place, slipped up with a 2-1 defeat at Padova - and will join Sassuolo, Cittadella and Torino in the play-offs.
