Raspadori opens then two penalties for Berardi and Scamacca, Henry shortens and in the end the Calabrian striker still from the spot while Consigli saves on Aramu
VENICE. In the ‘penalty party’ in Venice only Sassuolo rejoices, who beat Penzo 4-1 (3 penalty in favor) and troubles Zanetti’s team, a draw and two defeats in the last three games. A race never questioned, in which the lagoons also wasted the chance of the only penalty granted to them, in the final, with Aramu, with a shot saved by Consiglio. Four penalties in a single game, a rather rare event, but all the decisions made, more by the Var than by Pairetto, seemed correct. The coach Zanetti had asked his team to give everything – “I want to see them come out with cramps” he had said on the eve – and instead he seemed too much of a defeatist Venice, at least in the first half. Too much, however, the technical gap between the two teams, thanks to the bright lights of Berardi and Raspadori who, above all, illuminated the game of the neroverdi. The second half was more fought, but by now the game was channeled and Sassuolo took home 3 points to climb the standings. Venezia will have to fight and propose something more if they want to think about staying in Serie A.
The first half starts and Sassuolo is immediately on goal, with a percussion by Raspadori who enters the area, pretending to put Svoboda down, and Romero is dry. At 16 ‘the first questionable episode, due to poor referee timing: Aramu touches on the development of a punishment, Pairetto lets it go, except to stop the game more than 1’ after recalled by the Var. It is a penalty, which Berardi scores by kicking at the edge pole. The lagoons try to offend and at 19 ‘there is a doubtful contact on Henry, for the referee everything is regular. At 28 ‘another episode: Kyriakopoulos starts from the edge of his area and from the trocar opens to Berardi who shoots, Romero looks for the ball, the attacker gets in the way and is pushed slightly. But it is enough for Pairetto to whistle the penalty, which Raspadori scores with a central pull. Venezia got to the point thanks to Henry’s gore on Mateju’s cross from the right after a quick exchange with Okereke. And precisely the Nigerian at the end is dangerous but does not sink.
The second part of the match begins with a different Venezia, who gets chances with Mateju, who kicks with a sure shot on Henry’s assist, but gets Ferrari back on the corner. Opportunities flock on both sides. Venezia tries harder by putting competitiveness and racing, but Sassuolo remains in control. At 25 ‘Raspadori in the fake area and jumps Svoboda who falls in a slide and hooks him. It is still a penalty, which Berardi scores in the 26th minute by changing angle. At the 38 ‘dubious episode, with Ayhan coming into contact with Nsame, the referee pushed on, unleashing Zanetti’s wrath. But a minute of play passes, the referee is again recalled to the Var and awards the penalty for the lagoon. Aramu takes the ball, kicks angled, but Consigli stretches out well and saves.
