First Half: Venezia Waste Golden Opportunities
Inter entered the match as favorites after their dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Fiorentina. However, Venezia showed little fear against the defending champions.
Within the opening 10 minutes, Akor Adams nearly handed the hosts an early advantage, but his header drifted wide.
Inter responded through Ange-Yoan Bonny, whose effort was comfortably stopped by Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stankovic.
The hosts continued threatening, forcing Inter goalkeeper Ivan Provedel into an important save from Adams.
Venezia thought they had broken the deadlock when Lion Lauberbach scored from a tight angle, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.
Lauberbach nearly scored again before halftime, but Provedel produced a spectacular save, deflecting his effort off the crossbar.
Despite Venezia’s attacking dominance, the first half ended goalless.
Second Half: Two Own Goals Rescue Inter Milan
Venezia maintained their attacking intensity after the restart.
Gianluca Busio wasted an excellent opportunity after receiving a cross from Adams, firing his effort over the crossbar. Adams later had another goal ruled out for offside.
Inter gradually improved, with Marcus Thuram becoming increasingly influential.
The breakthrough finally arrived when Thuram delivered a dangerous low cross into the penalty area. Venezia defender Matias Moreno accidentally redirected the ball into his own net, handing Inter a fortunate lead.
Venezia’s misfortune continued when Carlos Augusto’s header deflected heavily off Redouane Halhal and beat goalkeeper Stankovic.
Two own goals ultimately sealed Inter’s 2-0 win, despite Venezia arguably creating more chances for much of the match.
