We saw one of the biggest upheavals in the history of the “League of Five” today in the Italian Serie A!
In the 16th round of Serie A, Venezia welcomed Hellas Verona at home, and they only saw a real spectacle at “Pierre Luigi Pence”.
It seemed that the host was on the verge of a great and convincing victory, but in the second half there was a real shipwreck for Venezia.
Until the 52nd minute, Venezia led 3-0 with goals from Ceccaroni, Crnigoj and Henry. However, Verona did not give up, and Igor Tudor’s chosen ones showed great character in the true sense of the word.
Verona reduced the score to 3: 1 in the 52nd minute with an own goal by Henry. The scorer of the first goal for Venezia, Ceccaroni, was sent off in the 62nd minute for playing with his hand, after which a penalty was awarded to Verona. Caprari reduced the lead to 3: 2 in the 65th minute.
Then Giovanni Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, took the stage. “El Cholito” first equalized the result in the 67th minute to 3: 3, and in the 85th minute he scored the second goal of the match, and completed the complete turnaround of Verona.
This was not the first time that Giovanni Simeone was a hero of Verona. Simeone scored both goals in Verona’s victory over Juventus, and Lazio scored four goals.
Verona thus recorded its sixth victory of the season, while Venezia was defeated for the ninth time. In the next round of the Italian championship, Verona welcomes Atalanta, and Venezia welcomes Juventus.
