Serie B, Venice in playoff final, Palermo still beaten
At Pierluigi Penzo Stadium, Venezia, after also winning the first leg away 1-0, beats Palermo again 2-1 and flies into the playoff final for promotion to Serie A.
The lagunari go ahead already after four minutes: Pierini on the three-quarter line gives to Tessmann, who from the right side kicks towards the cross of the farthest goalposts, the deflection attempt of Pigliacelli is useless.
At 43’ practice virtually è already closed: filtering pass by Lella for Zampano, assist towards the center of the area where Candela arrives and puts in the net with the goal wide open.
At’86’ an own goal by Svoboda makes Palermo shorten the distance but è all in vain. Venezia in the playoff final will face the winner between Catanzaro and Cremonese.
