Venezia Own Goals Gift Inter Milan Victory
28 Oct
Summary
- Inter Milan secured a 2-0 win over Venezia through two late own goals.
- Inter dominated possession but struggled to convert chances effectively.
- Venezia's own goals in the 79th and 82nd minutes sealed the match.
Inter Milan secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Venezia at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, primarily propelled by two own goals from the home side in the closing stages of the match. Despite a commanding statistical performance, including 65% possession and a 91% pass completion rate, Inter's attackers struggled to breach Venezia's resilient defense.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 79th minute when Venezia's Matías Moreno inadvertently turned the ball into his own net. Just three minutes later, Redouane Halhal replicated the misfortune, scoring the second own goal from an Inter corner routine, effectively sealing the three points for the visiting side.
While the scoreline suggests a comfortable win, Inter's wastefulness in front of goal was evident, with only two shots on target from 17 attempts. Manager Cristian Chivu will likely reflect on his team's finishing despite the positive outcome and continued pursuit of the Serie A summit.
