Venezia – After 4 defeats in a row, Venezia returns to scoring points in the championship but the 2-2 in the direct match does not satisfy them especially after ending the first half with the lead. Como also complains that, after overturning the result in the second half, they were unable to manage their advantage, thus missing the opportunity to win again after 70 days.
«The match report»
Pohjanpalo makes it 1-0 by deflecting a shot from Nicolussi Caviglia
The two teams battled despite the difficult weather conditions: the game was played on an evening extremely conditioned by gusts of wind and rain. Difficulty on the part of both teams in managing the high balls, moved by the strong wind. The first dangerous opportunity comes from Strettizza, who exchanges with Nico Paz and tries to surprise Stankovic from distance, reactive in his dive. However, it was Venezia who broke the deadlock in the 16th minute: Nicolussi Caviglia’s long-range shot was the winner thanks to a lucky deflection from Pohjanpalo.
Candela’s own goal and Belotti’s goal, Como overturns the result
Fabregas’ team reacts and pushes forward, putting a lot of pressure on a Venezia team that defends itself even against the wind against them. The weather conditions also had an impact at the start of the second half: in the 49th minute a cross from Van der Brempt was clumsily deflected by Candela who thus deceived Stankovic and gave Como the equaliser. The game heats up, with another opportunity for the Lombards on the restart which sees Strefezza touch the post on the conclusion launched from inside the Venetian area. Venezia was saved, but only until the 56th minute, when, with another run, Van der Brempt served a good ball to Belotti, who did well to cross and turn the result around.
Oristanio equalizes directly from a corner thanks to the wind
Di Francesco’s men are not up for it and in the 70th minute they restore parity with an Olympic goal from Oristanio who directly from a corner draws the left-footed trajectory which, also due to the effect of the wind, mocks Reina. Venezia persisted and in the 87th minute they would also find the new lead thanks to Nicolussi Caviglia but Doveri, recalled to the VAR, canceled everything due to an offside by Pohjanpalo. This is the last flash of the challenge, which leaves the lagoon players alone at the bottom of the table.
