Venezia’s struggles continued on Monday as their winless streak extended to eight matches following a late collapse in a 2-0 defeat to Genoa in Serie A.
The last time Venezia secured a victory was on December 22 against Cagliari, and they remain in 19th place, just two points clear of bottom-placed Monza and four adrift of Parma.
Despite showing promise in the first half with attempts from Nicolussi Caviglia and Kike Perez, Venezia couldn’t find the breakthrough.
The momentum shifted in Genoa’s favour after the break, but goalkeeper Ionut Radu kept the hosts in the game with key saves to deny Aaron Martin and Andrea Pinamonti.
However, Pinamonti eventually found the net in the 82nd minute with a stunning curling effort. Just four minutes later, Maxwell Cornet, Genoa’s loanee from West Ham, secured the victory by cutting in from the right and slotting home.
With this result, Genoa climbs one spot to 11th in the league standings.
