Serie A | Venezia 0-2 Inter: Nerazzurri leave it late and ride luck again

Inter secured a late 2-0 victory away against Venezia to maintain joint-top position in Serie A. Following a tightly contested encounter where Venezia had two goals ruled out for offside, Inter finally broke the deadlock in the 80th minute when Matias Moreno deflected a Marcus Thuram cross into his own net. The visitors quickly doubled their lead just two minutes later through another deflection off Redouane Halhal.

Venezia had multiple clear opportunities, including a Lion Lauberbach effort tipped onto the crossbar by Inter goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. Inter head coach Cristian Chivu responded by making a triple substitution at half-time to turn the momentum. The win keeps the Nerazzurri level at the summit alongside Lazio, while Davide Nicola's Venezia suffered their second consecutive league defeat.
