The Veneto derby with Verona remains a nightmare for Venezia which, for the fifth time in a row, including the defeat on penalties in the Italian Cup in 2020, makes its rivals happy as they return to winning ways (2-1) after 3 days of starvation and move away from the bottom of the rankings. Di Francesco’s team relived the nightmare of a week ago when they were defeated by Roma in a comeback. Even at Bentegodi the trend was similar with the decisive goal conceded in the last 10′, among other things again on an inactive ball (it is the 7th in this championship, ndr). A clear sign that adequate countermeasures must be studied as soon as possible. Verona, on the other hand, is smiling, rewarded for having strongly wanted the 3 points, especially in the final in which they definitely appeared to have more fuel in their body than the orange-greens.
«The match report»
Back and forth at the start between Oristanio and Tengstedt
Ready, go and Venezia surprises the Scaligeri (2′): on a corner from the left by Nicolussi Caviglia, the yellow-blue defense sleeps and allows Oristanio, stationed at the far post, to head in. Verona’s reply was immediate and, after coming close to hitting the target with a header from Lazovic, they equalized already in the 9th minute: the ball bypassed the host Mosquera’s rearguard for Tengstedt who with a right-footed volley diagonally past Joronen. The match is lively and the opportunities are plentiful: Verona comes close to doubling the score with Tengstedt himself and with Mosquera, Venezia scares Montipò with Haps, Doumbia and Oristanio.
Verona raises the pace, Zampano saves the 2-1 on the line
The derby remains pleasant even in the second half: Busio immediately challenges Montipò to the ground, on the opposite front Magnani comes close to the post with his header from a corner, Duda forces Joronen to deflect into the corner, Livramento sends a right-footed shot from the edge just beyond the top corner. Verona takes courage but Venezia continues to defend with its teeth: a right-footed shot from the left by Tengstedt goes past Joronen but Zapano, who replaced Haps, saves with a header off the line.
Kastanos comes in and decides the derby with Joronen’s partnership
It is the prologue to the 2-1 goal, which arrives in the 81st minute, courtesy of another substitute, Kastanos: a corner from Lazovic’s left falls from the opposite side onto the Cypriot’s head who, with the collaboration of Joronen, who raises the the ball hits the crossbar and then he hits it into the net to score the winning goal. Venezia doesn’t have any more and ends up having to accept their third defeat in the league.
