Internazionale beat Venezia 2-0 thanks to two late own-goals.
The Serie A encounter took place on 28 October 2026 at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venezia. Both sides entered the match looking to claim three points, but the game was ultimately decided by defensive errors rather than attacking flair.
How it unfolded
The first half was largely balanced, with neither side creating clear-cut chances. The breakthrough came late in the second half. In the 79th minute, Venezia defender Matías Moreno inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, giving Inter a 1-0 lead. Just three minutes later, another mishap struck the home side when Redouane Halhal deflected a cross into his own goal, extending Inter’s advantage to 2-0.
Discipline featured in the latter stages of the first half and early second half. Alessandro Bastoni received a yellow card in the 28th minute for a bad foul, and Nicolò Barella was booked in the 56th minute for a similar infringement. No further cards were shown, and the match concluded without any dismissals.
Standout performers
The decisive moments belonged to the unfortunate Venezia defenders. Matías Moreno’s own goal in the 79th minute and Redouane Halhal’s own goal in the 82nd minute were the only goals of the game, directly handing Internazionale the win.
