Venezia edged out Napoli 1-0 at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Saturday, 17 October 2026, in a tight Serie A clash that stayed goalless until the second half. The home side had little to show for their efforts in the first forty-five minutes, with the sides going in level at the break, but they found the breakthrough after the restart and made it count. For Venezia, this is the kind of result that can shift the mood of a season - three points against a side of Napoli's standing doesn't come around often. Napoli will be frustrated to leave without anything after a goalless first half suggested they were well in the game, but they couldn't find a way through a stubborn Venezia defence when it mattered. A single goal settled it, and Venezia will take the win and move on with real confidence.
