Udinese-Venice 3-2

It all happened in a very intense second half, at the Bluenergy Stadium, between Udinese and Venezia: to come out on top, after having risked throwing away the victory by getting a comeback from 2-0 to 2-2, was the Bianconeri team, which six minutes from 90' scored with Iker Bravo the goal that earned the first success in the calendar year 2025.

After a rather flat first half, in which the injury of the Lagooners’ goalkeeper, Filip Stankovic, after 16' (in his place is Joronen), the resumption begins with Udinese pressing on the accelerator and scoring twice within five minutes: on 47'Lucca took advantage of an imperfect exit by Joronen to deposit the ball into the net with the saucer, while on 52'è Lovric signed the 2-0, again after an inaccuracy of the Finnish goalkeeper.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s team, having suffered the double blowout, paradoxically woke up and first shortened the score at 64' with Nicolussi Caviglia, with a great right-footed shot to the cross, then made it 2-2 at 78' with Gytkyjaer, who entered a quarter of an hour earlier in place of Oristanio, on the development of a corner kick.

The momentum seemed to be all for Venezia, but at 84'84' came the cold shower for the Lagosians: a nice individual action by Solet and a ball for Iker Bravo (who entered at 65' in place of Alexis Sanchez), who d'externally overcame the Venezia goalkeeper and thus put in a goal worth three points. Venezia no longer had the strength to fight back, Udinese won 3-2.
