Henry unlocks the save challenge, then Ekuban’s equal. There are six points between the two, with Zanetti’s team taking a big risk in the final
A point each in the battle for Penzo’s salvation. Between Venice and Genoa it ends 1-1 (goals from Henry and Ekuban in the first half) and there are 6 points of gap between the two teams, to the delight of the Venetians who risk a lot in the final. The hosts, with a three-man defense that surprised their opponents, managed the game well in the first part of the match, finding the goal in the 13th minute with Henry, very alone in the area, from a corner kick. The Venice forward runs on the bench to take Lezzerini’s shirt, who ended the season with a bad injury. Genoa struggled to react, but in the 29th minute a magic by Ekuban, on his first goal in Serie A, equalized the score. The rossoblù find enthusiasm, the Venetians slow down. The scenario does not change in the second half, starting more Venice (especially with Aramu), then the attack of Genoa, which has several occasions (Portanova, Badelj). The best is in the 85th minute, when Svoboda invents a sensational save on Yeboah’s header. On the restart another great chance for Venice with Aramu just outside. In the recovery also comes the splendid overturned by Portanova just outside. But the result doesn’t change.
