Spezia saved three key points in extra time to almost completely get away from relegation areas against a Venezia (1-0) that tied an important point to get closer to safety on the 31st day of the Serie A match. .
This is a very important encounter under the table. Both teams will have to add seven days left to finish the championship. The tie did not benefit any of them too much, but the end result practically proves the safety of Thiago Motta’s Spezia and keeps Venice penultimate in a compromised position.
The game is very equal. A one-on-one meeting where no one wants to go wrong. And noticed it. There was almost no clear chance until the last 15 minutes, when the locals hit a little harder than the Venetians and found their reward.
However, history would soon be different if, in the first half, a free kick from visiting Mattia Aramu did not hit the crossbar in the 37th minute.
Previously, both teams roamed the rival area without determination, without clarity and without success.
The last quarter changed an hour
The second half was much the same, with dominance shared between the teams and little clarity in the final third of the field. Until the game became a round trip from the 75th minute.
The team led by Italian Thiago Motta hit, with a Bastoni leading the offense, and would have opened the scoring with a header from Frenchman Kelvin Amian who beat goalkeeper but defender Pietro Ceccaroni took the line.
Spezia was in charge, with a clear chance before the goal. Albanian King Manaj removed his pair and finished with a header from small area, but the figure of Finnish goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa appeared to drive the ball away.
When everyone indicated that the tie would be made official, in the 94th minute Spezia took advantage of a rude mistake by the visiting defense, which wasn’t too much force to clear a frontal center.
A shot by Rey Manaj cheers up the goal
Manaj took the loose ball into the area, shot and Maenpaa reappeared, but the rebound went to Ghanaian Emmanuel Gyasi, who inserted the ball into the goal with his stomach and proved his team’s crucial victory.
With these three points, Spezia can almost be considered a saved team with 32, ten points from relegation, while Venezia remains the penultimate three from safety.
