Venezia, meanwhile, had secured a point against Pisa in their previous match. Cagliari are now in 9th place, with 10 points from 7 matches, while Venezia sit in 12th, with 8 points from 7.

Cagliari started strong and were rewarded for their efforts, when Mancosu gave them the lead in the 38th minute, and they saw out the first half 1-0.

Venezia started the second half with renewed vigour, with an early goal from Pohjanpalo in the 50th minute. The momentum was again with Venezia, who then scored again courtesy of a goal from Cheryshev on the 64 minute mark to establish a 2-1 result. The momentum was again with Arancioneroverdi, who then scored again courtesy of a 2nd effort from Cheryshev in the 66th minute to establish a 3-1 result. However they weren’t finished yet and Haps made it 4-1, 83 minutes in to give a final score of 4-1.
