After AS Roma’s overwhelming victory against Parma (5-0), the 17th day of Serie A continued this Sunday with a poster pitting Venice against Cagliari at Pierluigi Penzo. Red lantern at kick-off, the team coached by Eusebio Di Francesco hoped to have a third match without defeat after two draws against Como and Juve.
For its part, Cagliari, 18th, had two defeats and also had to win to give itself some breathing room. A duel which ultimately turned to Venice’s advantage thanks to a goal from Francesco Zampano a few minutes before the break (1-0, 38th) and a goal from Marin Sverko after returning from the locker room (2-0, 68th). Leonardo Pavoletti’s reduction in score did not change anything at the end of this match (2-1). In the ranking, the Arancioneroverdi move up to 19th place, just behind Cagliari.
