Perugia-Venice 2-1: two goals from Lisi, the Umbrians can breathe

The Perugia wins 2-1 the direct clash with Venicein the postponement of the eighteenth day of B series, and breathe again in terms of salvation. The Umbrians remain last alone in the standings but are now -1 from Cosenza and, above all, -3 from the play-out area where Venice remains, in the company of Como and Cittadella. The team of beavers he made the difference thanks to a rocket start, with a brace of Lysis which has annihilated the Venetians, for a long time unable to strike up an effective and successful reaction with Pohjanpalo only when the game was over.

Lisi, brace against Venice in a quarter of an hour

Perugia broke the deadlock after just 8′, albeit with a pinch of luck: Lisi, launched on the left by Dell’Orco, centered and crossed; the ball, deflected with one foot by Candela, takes on an unpredictable parabola that mockingly overrides Joronen. Galvanized, Lisi scores twice in the 15th minute but this time with an author’s goal: on a throw by Sgarbi he checks his chest at 25m and with a great right-footed volley he slips the ball under the cross. Venice, which just before the 2-0 had come close to equalizing with a right foot from Crnigoj, rejected by Gori, feels the pinch and risks capitulating again at the start of the second half: Joronen thinks to save him who opposes a diagonal shot by Luperini.

Venice, Pohjanpalo shortens distances too late

The past danger wakes up the lagoon players who, after having tried again with Crnigoj, severely commit Gori with a close left foot from Pohjanpalo in the development of a corner. In the final, under an increasingly thick fog, Venice still called Gori into question with the substitute Novakovich but Perugia became more dangerous as they went close to setting a hat-trick with a right-footed shot from Bartolomei. Vanoli’s men try all the way and in the last minute of added time, in the 94th minute, they score at least the goal: the goal is scored by the usual Pohjanpalo (6th goal of the season) with a nice flying scissor kick from the edge after a short rejection by the red and white defense. Too late to hope for equal.
