The challenge of the multinationals is Udinese, which after the “manita” against Cagliari defeats Penzo. Venezia, who lost 2-1 at home, remained in increasingly troubled waters, seeing the game slip away once again in the recovery. And now the losing streak reaches 6. To make the Friulians smile are the goals of Deulofeu in the first half and that of Becao in the 94 ‘. In the middle, the goal of hope of the Venetians with Henry, which is not enough. The first half at the Penzo doesn’t offer much. The two teams offer a modest show with few noteworthy actions, perhaps also the result of the fear of losing. The guests try a little harder to look into the opponent’s half and are rewarded in the 33rd minute by the penalty of Guida. However, it takes two minutes to get to the spot, due to the Var control. Deulofeu does it all, entering the area from the left, Cuisance sinks and the Spaniard goes down. There is contact, a penalty hit with the ball on one side and the goalkeeper on the other. It will be the only shot on goal for the Bianconeri.
Venezia do a little more ball possession, but apart from Ampadu, there are few verticalizations. On two occasions the Welshman misses the Friulian defense with a throw for Johnsen who does not sink. And the Norwegian is the symbol of the orange and green: a team that seeks the game, but fails to sink. Cioffi instead proposes a tidy team, without many frills, which makes compactness and order his weapon. The second half starts with Udinese on boarding, there are five corners in the first five minutes and in the 4 ‘it is Maenpaa who says no to a mistake by Haps. The Surinamese makes a nefarious short back pass, Beto sling on the ball, in contrast with the goalkeeper the ball rises to a bell tower and the goalkeeper manages to go back saving the result. Swirl of substitutions and game that becomes nasty (nine admonitions made by Guida).
Until 20 ‘the game remains on the Udinese tracks, then Venezia tries it with a little more conviction. The goal of the temporary equalizer arrives in the 41st minute. Soppy raises badly and the ball ends up on Henry’s feet who with a sure blow pierces Silvestri under the crossbar. Two minutes later an opportunity for the Bianconeri Success restarts and throws Beto into the open field but he gets injured, allowing Haps to recover. In the final minutes Udinese takes advantage of a corner with Samardzic who puts it in the center for Becao. The leading tip slips between Maenpaa and Haps. It ends 2-1 for Udinese, who see salvation more and more. Late night for Venice.
