Udinese beat Venezia 2-1 in the Coppa Italia, combining a compact 3-4-2-1 structure with greater efficiency in the decisive areas despite having only 35% possession. Venezia’s 3-5-2 controlled the ball for 65% of the match, but Udinese produced the larger shooting volume, registering 16 attempts to Venezia’s 11 and placing eight on target compared with four. The home side’s ability to turn fewer sustained spells of possession into direct pressure proved the central tactical difference, with Venezia unable to translate territorial control into enough clear end-product. Both goalkeepers recorded a 75% save percentage, although Venezia’s keeper faced eight shots on target against four for Udinese’s goalkeeper, underlining the heavier defensive workload endured by the visitors. With no scorer data available, the scoreline and shot profile provide the clearest measure of Udinese’s superiority in key moments. Udinese advance with a disciplined cup performance.
