END OF THE FIRST HALF
45′ NOVAKOVICH EATS THE DOUBLE! Venezia comes out badly, with Pohjanpalo missing the goal. The former player takes off, goes past Tessmann, but the shot doesn’t turn enough to land and goes out!
43′ PIERINI WASTES! Candela breaks through on the right, ball in the middle, Pierini coordinates the turn, but the shot is decidedly wrong and ends up high!
40′ Foul shoulder by Sersanti on Sverko, Marcenaro however lets it continue and there are three Lecco players in the Venezia area. Sersanti puts it in the middle, but first comes the smooth shot and then the referee’s whistle which stops the game.
37′ BUSIO! Following the development of the corner, Pohjanpalo arrives who hooks, controls and leaves for Busio who unloads towards the goal. Melgrati with para feet!
36′ Andersen finds an excellent suggestion for Sverko who comes in, ball in the middle, the quickest of all is Bianconi who puts it in the corner.
33′ Degli Innocenti is ready to start again, Pohjanpalo slips and blocks his way, Marcenaro has a yellow card.
31′ Andersen loads the fireball and shoots, the Lecco defense rebounds.
29′ Venezia raises their center of gravity but until now they have never shot towards Melgrati’s goal. Lecco closes the passage lines
27′ Lecco is holding the ball with Venezia struggling to regroup. The Blucelesti are playing with great application in these minutes without conceding anything to Vanoli’s team.
23′ Venezia are caught by surprise on the restart, an opening for Buso on the left, Svoboda, in order not to make a foul as the last man, intervenes too softly and is blown, Buso wedges himself, does not pass it to Novakovich centrally but crosses it, breaking the deadlock !
22′ BUSO UNLOCKS IT!
21′ Venice is in possession of the ball again but so far the lagoon players have not created any danger for Melgrati’s goal.
19’Opportunity for Lecco! Buso’s descent on the left and the ball in the center of the penalty area cleared with some difficulty by the Venezia defense. Lecco tries to believe it by remaining with the ball at their feet.
15′ Tessmann knocked down in the midfield, free kick for Venezia, beats Pierini, attempts a shot on the 10th, ball out.
13′ Svoboda goes up and takes aim for a through ball, which is blocked. He collects Pohjanpalo between the lines who tries a one-two in the narrow with Busio, but the ball doesn’t pass.
10′ Venezia holds the ball, but Lecco increases density and removes all the passing lines in the most dangerous areas for now.
7′ Crociata tries from afar, ball too high.
5′ A couple of so-so clearances for Melgrati, but Venezia is unable to take advantage of them, missing the last pass after errors in the rebound by the opposing goalkeeper.
2′ Venezia immediately tries to press with Busio who is unable to find Pohjanpalo in depth
1′ Off we go!
The Lecco and Venezia teams have been made official and will face each other in a few minutes at the Rigamonti. Mister Vanoli chooses to reconfirm Bjarkason as the fifth, inserting Andersen and not Ellertsson in the middle of the pitch and therefore without a player who tends to spread out to help him on the wing. This is the main change compared to what we saw with Brescia. Pierini emerges in front as expected to join Pohjanpalo.
LECCO (4-3-3): Melgrati; Lepore, Bianconi, Celjak, Caporale; Ionita, Of the Innocents, Sersanti; Crusade, Novakovich, Buso. Annex Malgrati
VENICE (3-5-2): Joronen; Idzes, Svoboda, Sverko; Candela, Andersen, Tessmann, Busio, Bjarkason; Pierini, Pohjanpalo. Ann. Vanoli
Good morning to all friends of Tutto Venezia Sport from Davide Marchiol and welcome to the live text of Lecco-Venice, a match valid for the thirty-fourth matchday of Serie B. The orange-green team returned to success by beating Brescia 2-0 at the Penzo with a brace from Tessmann. Now, however, we have to overcome a Lecco that is fighting not to be relegated and in these matches the Lions have often struggled to break through, often ending up in the trap. We’ll see if this time Vanoli will have managed to give the right framework to break the resistance of the hosts, who promise to be very aggressive.
