Venezia mocks Como at Sinigaglia, a penalty in the 95th minute and the salvation match ends in a draw
Ninety minutes full of opportunities, the Lariani despite the pressing and without Kempf and Vojvoda on the pitch delude themselves until the end before having to deal with the goal scored by Gytkjaer
The disappointment of the Como players at the end of the match
Como, March 8, 2025 – Como draws the salvation challenge against the Venice, in a match full of opportunities, but was mocked in the final by Gytkjaer's penalty which responded to the Ikonè's goal. A point that could have been a victory but which makes the Larian standings quite reassuring, with Fabregas who will be able to focus more and more on the development of his game and the growth of Larian talents. Fabregas without Kempf and Vojvoda suspended, puts the young Brazilian at the center of the defense Fellipe Jack, who chose the Italian under-21 national team, instead of the yellow-gold. Diao from the first minute he caused problems on the left flank and the Venetians had no choice but to stop him with a foul. The Como starts by pressing as usual, and at 10' a quick give and go between Diao, Paz and Strefezza, brings the ferret from Lariano into the area, but his corner shot is saved by Radu, diving. The Lagunari play with five in defense, with two in support and it is not easy for the Lariani to find spaces. At 20' on a corner, beaten by Da Cunha, Sinigaglia, shouts for a goal but the ball stops on the post with Radu beaten, after Smolcic's header, alone on the opposite pole.
Unrest on the bench
By Francesco he is very agitated on the bench, Venezia has never shot on goal and his screams have an immediate effect, because in the 29th minute with Como all on the attack, Zerbin finds himself alone in front of Butez, the Belgian goalkeeper instinctively saves with his feet. Football is strange, Como continues to throw balls in the area, but in the end with two shots it is Venezia who comes closest to scoring, but Butez with two great saves in a row from a corner kick, denies Duncan the goal twice, on actions from a corner kick. Fatigue He's an unstoppable pepper, but his shots always end up high. Fabregas at the beginning of the second half he replaces Strefezza with Ikonè and with his first action the ex Fiorentina strikes, takes the ball in midfield and heads for the goal, he is also helped by a rebound with Colussi Ankle, then like lightning he arrives in the area and strikes Radu, with a right-footed shot.
Deep
The Venice looking for the equaliser, he is exposed and Caqueret tries some deep throws towards Diao and Ikonè, but the action never develops with a shot towards the goal. In the 23rd minute Duncan gives the Larian defence the shivers by slipping into the area, his break is punctual but the ball goes over the crossbar. Fabregas wants the safety goal, takes Diao off for the Greek national team centre forward Douvikas and he goes with the 4-2-3-1. Two incredible saves by super Radu consecutive, they deny the doubling for the Larians in the 29th minute, a tuna trap is created in the small area of the Venetians after Da Cunha's free kick and the goalkeeper saves from two meters, first a shot from Ikonè, then on the rebound a header from Dossena. Even Crazy today slightly in the shade, he tries his famous curling shot in the 32nd minute but the ball ends up just wide. Perhaps because of the first heat seasonal teams slow down at the end and Como, does not step on the accelerator, content with the result. A mistake because in the recovery at the final whistle, Carboni after a series of sliding tackles is brought down by Smolcic. Gytkjaer displaces Butez and Ayroldi blows the final whistle.
