Futmetrix AI estimate

Two late own goals break a stubborn deadlock

Skip It Futmetrix Score: 36/100. A two-goal win matters at both ends: the title chase stays alive while the side at the bottom faces fresh pressure.

Opening Act

For half an hour at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Venezia showed both nerve and threat. Inter dominated possession with 66 per cent and moved the ball patiently, but control did not become clean finishing: 16 shots produced only two on target. Venezia, with just 34 per cent of the ball, still created two big chances and 1.56 expected goals. The moment that could have changed the evening came in the 29th minute: Lion Lauberbach found the net, only for VAR to cancel the goal. The hosts put four efforts on target, so that disallowed strike was no isolated flash. The Intensity stayed alive because Venezia did more than defend; after the intervention, though, the margin for error narrowed.

The Pivot

For much of the second half, the question was whether Inter could turn territory into a breakthrough before the clock became a problem. Carlos Augusto, the standout performer, brought composure from defence and supplied two key passes; I. Provedel made four saves to keep Venezia out. Across both sides, 28 shots yielded only six on target: plenty of activity, little accuracy. The decisive shift arrived in the 79th minute, when an own goal credited to Matias Moreno finally put Inter ahead. Three minutes later, a second own goal, credited to Redouane Halhal, made it 2-0. The Balance broke in a flash. Inter’s territorial edge had not produced a steady siege, but two late incidents settled a match that had stayed open far longer than the possession figures suggested.

Resolution

Inter won 2-0, but the scoreline masks how long the match remained in the balance: the decisive goals came through two own goals, not a late burst of clinical finishing. Even so, the visitors leave with valuable points. Before kick-off, Inter sat second on 22 points, three behind the leaders; this win keeps the title chase alive. Venezia started bottom on three points, one point from safety, and a home defeat makes the push for survival more urgent. The Stakes were sharply different, yet the hosts stayed in the contest until VAR and two late errors changed the result. The Upset Factor stayed low in the end, but Inter’s two shots on target are a reminder that possession alone does not guarantee a convincing attack. Venezia can take encouragement from the chances created, not comfort from the table. The campaign is still young; the response matters more than a tidy post-match narrative.

Key Question

How did VAR change this match?

VAR ruled out Venezia’s 29th-minute goal, denying the hosts a chance to take the lead.
