Final result: Venice-Genoa 2-0
The report cards of Venezia
Joronen sv – Inactive. Today he takes a day of absolute rest due to the fact that Genoa never kicks on goal.
Candle 6 – Of the three at the back, he is the one who inspires the least confidence in some choices with and without the ball. He had made a big mistake, but the offside saved him. Overall, however, a sufficient performance and growing in the second half.
Svoboda 7,5 – He is the best of Venezia and he needed a match like this like bread, without any smudges as well as offering a good performance in general. Rock-solid in marking, the closure on Vitinha is worth a goal and then that long throw to Busio deserved to be finalized in a goal.
Idzes 6,5 – He keeps good guard on his side. Sabelli and Ekuban rotate to try to break through on his side, but fail.
Paw 6 – In the first half, Venezia attacks mainly from his side and he always offers a chance for an exchange or a solution. Solid in coverage.
Busio 6.5 – When he lights up, Venezia lights up. From his idea comes the great opportunity for Oristanio. Of course, he could have directed the header better: it was a really tasty opportunity even if it wasn’t very simple, given that the ball came from behind. His good performance is rewarded with the lucky goal of 1-0.
From 88′ Crnigoj sv
Andersen 6.5 – Today in the control room, he is constantly pressed high by the opposing midfielders, but he makes few or no mistakes. And when he has to
cover never pulls back the leg. Grows in the recovery.
Ellertsson 6 – Various initiatives, gives excellent support to the strikers with his insertions. In the second half he drops a bit, until the change with Doumbia.
From 78′ Doumbia sv
Haps 5.5 – It is clear that physical potential is important to push forward, but he makes too many mistakes when exiting the ball.
From 78′ Sverko sv
Oristano 5 – You can sense his desire to make an impact and his frustration at not being able to do so. The missed opportunity in front of Gollini is huge, then beyond this he often remains halfway between what he would like to do and what he succeeds in doing.
From 68′ Yeboah 6.5 – He comes in and brings exactly what Venezia has been missing for a long time: ideas and one-on-ones. It is precisely from his initiative that the doubling comes: great assist for Pohjanpalo.
Pohjanpal 6 – The brave captain has done it: here is the goal he has been looking for for a while. He fights and does what he can, but his performance is not brilliant already in the supports. He then misses the penalty of the possible 1-0 finding a great Gollini. Then Yeboah serves him the right ball and he doesn’t miss from two steps.
From 88′ Gytkjaer sv
All. Eusebio Di Francesco 7 – The courage to continue to believe in one’s ideas is rewarded by a courageous, convinced and dominating performance by his Venezia. Who was good at overcoming adversity even today, given the missed opportunities in the first half and the penalty missed by Pohjanpalo. For once, good luck then plays its part with the goal of the advantage arrived in an incredible way.
