As against Atalanta, Cagliari loses with the best goalkeeper on the pitch. This time Stanković is decisive in the 2-1 for Venezia.
In the end, Cagliari's formation is 4-3-2-1, with Zortea and Gaetano behind Piccoli . Venezia's first shot, at 5' with a high left-footed shot from Zampano, but then it's the rossoblù (in white shirts) who take control of the game even without creating much. Gaetano tries at 20', a left-footed shot just inside the area that goes just wide.
At half an hour, a nice cross from Augello, Ellertson anticipates Zortea with a header in the small area. A minute later, again the number 3, this time on a free kick from the right, Mina towers over everyone but Stanković works a miracle (even saving with a header) and the rebound does not favor Cagliari.
Against the inertia of the match, in the 39th minute, Venezia scores: the former Oristanio player runs away on the left leaving Zappa on the spot, a low cross is missed by Augello and Zampano scores on the first shot on goal by the lagoon players . Cagliari reacts in the 43rd minute, with a curling right-footer by Gaetano that goes high and a minute later a shot by Zortea that is blocked by Stanković.
Resumption with an immediate chance for Venezia, Idzes all alone on the edge of the small area sends high on a pass from Altare. Nicola takes off Deiola for Lapadula in the 53rd minute, but the offensive module has no impact. Indeed, the former Oristanio player (62') would have scored with a touch under on a central insertion, but the VAR cancels it for a millimetric offside by Pohjanpalo who serves him the assist .
From a possible 2-0 to a possible 1-1, Zortea crosses and Gaetano – all alone – heads it over the crossbar . A goal spectacularly missed by number 70, who was also negative today and was replaced immediately after by Felici (with Marin for Zortea). But in the meantime Venezia scores, an incredible goal by Šverko who in the 67th minute recovers the ball in a manner deemed regular, luckily gets away from six opponents and manages to tap it into the net while falling, amidst general disbelief .
Nicola's desperate substitution is Pavoletti for Piccoli, with Wieteska (immediately cautioned) for Mina. And it is the number 30 who shortens the gap in the 76th minute, with a header in the six-yard box on a great cross from Augello . It becomes a siege, but Stanković is phenomenal on a curling right-footer from Zappa and above all with a double new miracle on Lapadula freed by Wieteska. In the third of the five minutes of injury time Stanković is again decisive on Felici.
