Verona, fatal penalties: Venezia goes to the round of 16 of Coppa Italia

Verona falls at home in the derby against Venezia, and it will be the Lagunari who will play the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia against Inter at San Siro. At the Bentegodi, a match also suspended due to prohibitive weather conditions ends 0-0, and it is the penalty kicks that determine the passage of the round: everyone scores theirs except Ebossé, whose attempt at conversion is neutralized by Plizzari, and Lella decides in favor of the guests.

The rain conditions did not affect the game.

The rain conditions the match in no small way, so much so that the first few minutes do not offer opportunities worthy of the name. Verona tries to build, Venezia controls and the first conclusion of the match comes beyond the quarter d’hour with Ajayj. The first real save, however, is by home goalkeeper Perilli, who is alert on Compagnon. And in fact nothing more happens in the first half.

The resumption is even more bumpy, however, as already when the teams return to the field the rain is joined by hail. Referee Calzavara orders the interruption of the match at 2′ minute, and it will last about twenty. And Venezia tries very hard to earn a pass, so much so that Sagrado hits the post. Then again Perilli denies Sidibé a goal, while Verona shows up only when Cham ends up on the ground in the box and claims a penalty that the referee does not award.

The penalties, however, came, but were the result of the 0-0 final. Kastanos and Fila don&#8217t miss, Ebossé does with Plizzari unleashing the joy of Venice. Then nobody misses anymore: Yeboah, Al Musrati, Svoboda, Giovane, Bohinen and Orban. The decisive penalty is entrusted to Lella, who displaces Perilli, eliminates Verona and allows the Lagunari to continue their adventure in the Coppa Italia.
