Fiorentina made the trip to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on 11 September 2026 and came away with four goals and all three points, beating Venezia 2-4 in a Serie A clash that never really let up. The home side actually matched their visitors for large spells and went in at half-time only a goal behind, trailing 1-2, so there was plenty for the Penzo crowd to shout about. But the second half told a different story entirely. Venezia's resistance eventually cracked under the weight of Fiorentina's quality, and the away side pulled clear to seal the win. For the hosts, there will be frustration at how a tight, competitive match slipped away from them after the break. Fiorentina, on the other hand, showed the kind of composure that could matter a lot over the course of a long season, taking a share of the derby-day scoreline off early and turning it into a comfortable, confidence-boosting away win.
The Matchup
Fiorentina beat Venezia 2-4 at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 62% in favour of Venezia, Fiorentina made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 11 attempts from Venezia against 19 from Fiorentina over the course of the game. Venezia had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
