Very important victory for Hellas Verona at the Bentegodi against Venezia. The final was 2-1, with a duck from Joronen giving the Scala team the victory in the 81st minute, after a match full of emotions at the start and still enjoyable for the entire ninety minutes.
Two goals conceded.
The start of the match was with the foot on the accelerator, on both sides, with the guests immediately taking the lead, thanks to a header from Gaetano Oristanio, who made the most of a night’s sleep yellow-blue defense, left to watch a cross coming from the flag. The ball bounced inside the small area, no one was ready to intervene and the orange-green winger arrived at the far post, able to beat Montipò. However, in the 9th minute Tengstedt equalized immediately, starting the action and then collecting Mosquera’s assist and beating Joronen with excellent coordination. The first half then offered other emotions but without any other goals.
The decisive goal: Kastanos or own goal?
In the second half Hellas gave the impression of being better on the ball than Venezia and tried with greater insistence to find the decisive goal, which came in the 81st minute with a duck by Joronen. Corner kick by Lazovic and header by Kastanos at the far post, with the goalkeeper who, after being overtaken by the first cross, contributed decisively to ensuring that the ball went behind him. It is difficult to understand whether the ball would have gone in anyway, with the goal possibly being awarded to the midfielder, even if the feeling is that it was an own goal. In the final opportunity for Venezia, but the result did not change, with the three points going to Zanetti’s team.
