The hosts took an early lead in the seventh minute as a corner found Federico Baschirotto, whose header took a deflection off Ibanez into the net, reports Xinhua news agency.
The Giallorossi got back on level terms in the 17th minute when Dybala kept his cool to convert a penalty.
The away side had chances to turn the game around, but Lecce's goalie Wladimiro Falcone provided a string of saves to keep the scoreline down.
