Inter beats Venezia 2-0 with two late own goals and stays joint Serie A leader

Inter won 2-0 away at Venezia in a Serie A match played on October 28, 2026, at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venice. Both goals came late in the second half and were own goals by Venezia defenders Matías Moreno and Redouane Halhal.

Venezia created several clear chances but failed to convert. Lion Lauberbach and Akor Adams each had goals disallowed for offside, while Inter goalkeeper Ivan Provedel made a series of important saves, including a one-handed stop on an Akor Adams shot and a parry of a deflected Kike Perez free kick.

“Inter secured a 2-0 away win at Venezia thanks to two own goals in the second half, drawing level with Lazio at the top of Serie A.”

Inter remained largely ineffective in attack for much of the game. Coach Cristian Chivu fielded a 3-5-2 formation with Ivan Provedel in goal, while several regular players such as Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard were unavailable.

Venezia coach Davide Nicola also used a 3-5-2 system, starting Filip Stankovic in goal and pairing Lion Lauberbach with Akor Adams up front. The match featured a Stankovic brothers duel, with Filip playing for Venezia and Aleksandar starting for Inter in midfield.

The victory leaves Inter with 25 points and joint top of the Serie A table alongside Lazio. Venezia remains in twentieth place with three points after Davide Nicola’s debut in charge ended in defeat.

Inter will next travel to Milan for the Derby della Madonnina at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, while Venezia will visit Como 1907 in the following round.
