Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadio Pierluigi Penzo will turn into a battlefield for Venezia FC and Spezia Calcio.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gianluca Busio, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 13' The deadlock is broken! Simone Bastoni gets on the scoresheet on 13 minutes.
  • 18' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pietro Ceccaroni suffering a number of foals already.
  • 23' The Spezia Calcio bench stirs into life. Martin Erlic is withdrawn and Petko Hristov gets his opportunity.
  • 26' Pasquale Mazzocchi was booked on 26.
  • 31' Jeroen Zoet is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Venezia FC so far.
  • 36' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thiago Motta will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 47' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Salvador Ferrer.
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spezia Calcio that had 228 games and scored 244 goals.
  • 55' Venezia FC ring the changes. Domen Crnigoj has done his job and it is now time for Dor Peretz to step up.
  • 57' Poor challenge from Antonio Vacca. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 59' What an equalizer from Pietro Ceccaroni!
  • 63' Mattia Aramu is ready to make an impact after coming on for David Okereke at the 63 minute mark.
  • 68' A quiet spell here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Spezia Calcio seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 69' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gianluca Busio.
  • 71' Rey Manaj is replacing Jacopo Sala for the Spezia Calcio side.
  • 76' Venezia FC make a change. Antonio Vacca trudges off to be replaced by Daan Heymans on 76 minutes.
  • 78' Suf Podgoreanu is ready to make an impact after coming on for Janis Antiste at the 78 minute mark.
  • 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
  • 84' The referee has no hesitation. Daan Heymans is booked for Venezia FC — Yellow card on 84.
  • 89' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Venezia FC.
