It was a delicate battle for salvation between Venezia e Cagliariwith the teams separated by four points in the standings. Margin reduced to just one point thanks to the home success of Eusebio Di Francesco's lagoon players who won 2-1 against Davide Nicola's Sardinians, thanks to goals from Zampano and Sverko. The goal from Pavoletti, who took over in the second half, was useless.
Venezia returns to winning ways after six games and wins an important direct clash, momentarily leaving Monza last with 10 points. Cagliari remains 18th in the table due to this third consecutive defeat in the league.

MARKERS: 38' Zampano (V), 68' Sverko (V), 76' Pavoletti (C)
I GOL
VENICE-CAGLIARI 2-1, Pavoletti in the 76th minute: with the first ball touched in the offensive zone, Pavoletti hits. Cross from the left by Augello, header by the attacker who beats Stankovic
VENICE-CAGLIARI 2-0, Sverko in the 68th minute: individual action of the central defender who breaks through into the central area, out-marks Mina and Luperto and, falling, overtakes Sherri with a touch of precision
VENICE-CAGLIARI 1-0, Zampano in the 38th minute: Oristanio sows panic among the Cagliari defense, cross to the center for Zampano. Augello misses the timing of the intervention and the winger, from before, carries his team forward
SALIENT ACTIONS
90' – 4 – CAGLIARI AGAIN! The last chance of the match goes to Zappa who misses the target
90' + 2 – CAGLIARI OPPORTUNITY! Felici breaks through on the wing and finishes with power: Stankovic deflects, author of a truly important performance
81' – DOUBLE MIRACLE FROM STANKOVIC! Zappa from a sidereal position looks for the poisonous trajectory: Stankovic does well to deflect it into a corner. On the corner, the Lagoon goalkeeper outdoes himself on a close-range tap-in from Lapadula
66' – CAGLIARI OPPORTUNITY! Gaetano, very well looked for in the centre, is unable to have the best of headers
62' – GOAL CANCELLED IN ORISTANIO! Pohjanpalo acts as a buffer for Oristanio who launches face to face with Sherri: his lob goes past the outgoing goalkeeper. However, the Finnish attacker is offside (READ THE MOVIOLA HERE)
61′ – Nicolussi Caviglia tries to surprise Sherri from outside the area: he blocks the goalkeeper
58' – VENICE OPPORTUNITY! Oristanio protagonist of the race. The number 11 receives from the edge of the area and explodes a left-footed shot that ends just wide
49′ – Oristanio for Nicolussi Caviglia who concludes with first intention: Sherri, not perfect, puts it in the corner
32' – CAGLIARI OPPORTUNITY! Mina a few steps from the goal: Augello in the center for the central defender who hits at his best. Stankovic is on the path and heads it for a corner
19′ – Zortea hooks, serves Gaetano who doesn't finish well after an excellent move with his back to goal
4′ – First attempt by Zampano who, from outside the area, misses the target
