The news.
First half. In the 2nd minute Gytkjaer’s incursion kicks to the back and, in the process, falls in the area under pressure from Pilati, the referee allows the action to continue. From the development of a free kick from the left midfield for Venezia, in the 6th minute, Bjarkason’s cross, Pohjanpalo positioned at the far post fails to connect. Verticalization by Bjarkason for Pohjanpalo, Pizzignacco coming out of the posts anticipates him. All this in the 10th minute. Three minutes later, Feralpisalò was close to taking the lead: Kourfalidis left Jajalo on the spot, a curling shot and the ball ended up just wide. On the opposite side, in the 17th minute, Busio crosses to Candela who, from the right, launches a poorly calibrated left-footed shot, with the ball ending up beyond the far post. On the half hour mark, Busio’s personal action, launched by Gytkjaer: the lagoon midfielder, having reached the edge of the area, looks for an opening in the middle of the visitors’ defensive shirts, but the ball is muffled and the Feralpisalò goalkeeper blocks without difficulty. Cross from Busio in the 39th minute, ball in the center for Pohjanpalo who is anticipated by Pizzignacco who, with a punch, blocks. Great opportunity for the lagoon players in the 40th minute: assist from Svoboda for Gytkjaer who breaks away from the visiting defence, great clearance from the Feralpisalò goalkeeper. In the 43rd minute, Jajalo, a few meters from the edge, unleashes a dangerous low shot with his left foot, which however goes wide of the goal. Pohjanpalo crossbar in the 45th minute: ball tamed by Gytkjaer assisted in the center for the orange-green captain who loads the right foot and hits the upright squarely, thanks to Pizzignacco’s deflection. But the corner is not taken and, without recovery, we go to the locker room with the score 0-0.
Second half. It starts with two substitutions for Venezia: Jajalo comes out, Tessmann takes his place. Lella’s match also ends, Pierini enters. In the 55th minute, Svoboda’s missed back pass, Joronen makes a difference. A turn of the clock later, prolonged action by the home team, Candela makes a pass for Pierini who kicks powerfully but too much at Pizzignacco. Subsequently Mantia wins the duel with Svoboda and kicks a diagonal shot that goes wide of the far post. Progression of La Mantia himself, in the 58th minute, towards the lagoon goal, from which Joronen comes out and with a low catch makes him the ball. The result breaks the deadlock in the 60th minute: Pilati saves short, Gytkjaer comes out on top from the tackle, who serves Pohjanpalo who, with his right foot, swells the net. 1-0. IN the 66th minute corner for Feralpisalò, taken by Letizia: Mantia hits the ball with a header that ends up on the bottom. In the 71st minute there was an opportunity for the guests: Felici distanced himself from Altare and, having reached the area, he loaded his right-footed shot, which was deflected for a corner. Letizia, in the 76th minute, flies dangerously towards the lagoon goal, falls upon contact with Idzes, without fail according to the match director. A minute later Felici launches the verticalization for Compagnon, who arms the left, muffled, Joronen saves without too much difficulty. The guests equalized in the 83rd minute: low cross by Koufalidis, curling shot by Compagnon who, from an excellent position, beats Joronen. 1-1. A turn of the clock later Pohjanpalo tries to double the score, Pilati sacrifices himself. In the 88th minute there was an opportunity for Pierini who, following Gytkjaer’s vertical pass, aimed for the goal, with the visiting goalkeeper blocking in two stages. In the 89th minute Dembele launches a diagonal shot from the right, Pizzignacco dives to one side and blocks the ball. In the 90th minute there was contact in the area between Tessmann and La Mantia, the latter caught in a foul in attack. There are 4 minutes of injury time in the second half. Venezia took the lead again in the 93rd minute: on a counterattack by the orange-greens, Svoboda assisted the onrushing Pohjanpalo who put the ball into the goal after the beaten Pizzignacco. Venezia FC-Feralpisalò ends with the result 2-1.
