In a tightly contested Serie A match, Venezia edged past Fiorentina with a 2-1 victory at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. The home side demonstrated commendable efficiency by converting two of their four shots on target into goals. Venezia's disciplined defense was tested by Fiorentina’s aggressive attacking strategy, which yielded more shots on target and attempts off target. However, Venezia’s defense, assisted by a stellar performance from the goalkeeper, managed to restrict Fiorentina to just one goal.

The match saw a burst of action in the second half, with Venezia emerging from a goalless first half to take the lead just a minute into the second half. Fali Cande capitalized on Kike Perez's precise assist, giving Venezia a crucial advantage. Alessio Zerbin played a pivotal role in extending the lead, providing an assist for Gaetano Oristanio’s goal. Despite Fiorentina’s possession dominance reflected by their numerous shots, their attacking precision lacked the sharpness required to break through consistently, as emphasized by their high count of shots off target and reliance on corner kicks.

Discipline issues heavily impacted Fiorentina, as they accumulated four yellow cards in quick succession, which may have stunted their momentum and tactical flexibility. The team's aggressive approach was reflected in their higher foul count, slightly outdone by Venezia's 21 fouls. Fiorentina's attempt to mount a comeback was evident when Rolando Mandragora converted Yacine Adli’s assist, but their comeback efforts were ultimately hampered by Venezia’s solid team cohesion and defensive organization.

Venezia's utilization of strategic playmakers like Perez and Zerbin proved invaluable, delivering the decisive assists that secured the win. Fiorentina's reliance on individual flair wasn't enough to counter Venezia’s structured teamwork. The home side’s ability to absorb pressure and execute their opportunities efficiently was instrumental to their success against a Fiorentina side that, despite their effort, struggled with precision and discipline throughout the match.
