The Venice achieves qualification for the final of the Serie B play-offs. The team of Paolo Vanoliafter winning 1-0 in the first leg, beat the Palermo even on the way back. In the 2-1 of the lagoon players the signatures are Tessmann and Candela, both in the first half of the game. In the final the flag goal of Traore with the complicity of Svoboda. The performance of the Rosanero was disappointing, unable to find significant countermeasures to the quality of the Venetians’ play. The latter will now have to wait for the name of their next opponent: they will find out tomorrow evening following the match between Cremonese and Catanzaro.
Venice-Palermo, the key to the match
After the 1st of the first leg the Venice wants to start strong against the Palermo to close the games immediately. In fact, after just 4 minutes the lagoon players took the lead with a shot from distance Tessmann on which Pigliacelli is not blameless. The Rosanero try to come forward especially on the counterattack but the home team takes control of the match. Just before the end of the first half the 2-0 also arrives with the tap-in of Candle (first seasonal goal for the full-back).
In the second half Paolo Vanoli’s team drops in intensity. However, the Sicilian team would need 4 goals to turn the situation around and they no longer believe in it. Not even the whirlwind of changes by coach Mignani manages to revitalize the Eagles. The 1-2 goal came late with theSvoboda’s own goal on the conclusion of Traore and it doesn’t even help with regrets. The experience of the former Bari coach on the Palermo bench was not unforgettable with only one championship victory in 7 games and the play-off adventure that did not last long. Venezia continues to dream of Serie A and will play there play-off final.

Top and flop of Venezia
- Tessmann 7 It takes him 4 minutes to turn the game in his favor with a poisonous shot from distance.
- Joronen 7 There is also his signature on the promotion of Venezia with some good saves. The one about Segre’s header stands out above all.
- Candle 7 First goal of the season: he couldn’t have chosen a better opportunity.
- Pierini 6.5 He plays a good game and comes close to scoring several times.
- Pohjanpalo 6 Today the championship’s top scorer is resting. Lots of movement, a couple of opportunities but he doesn’t leave his mark.
Top and flop for Palermo
- Traore 6.5 His was the leap of pride at the end from the Sicilians.
- Brunori 6 Often with individual actions, but he is one of those who try the hardest.
- Lucioni 6 He has a terrible time keeping the department together.
- Pigliacelli 5.5 Far from flawless on Tessmann’s conclusion. Then he redeems himself even if the mistake weighs heavily.
- Distinguished 5 He doesn’t enter the game.
- Graves 5 A single time in which he understands us little. Replaced in the interval.
