Venezia beat Modena 3-2 in the Coppa Italia, using their 4-4-2 to sustain territorial pressure against an equally shaped Modena side. Venezia had 62.0% possession and produced 23 shots, with 10 on target, compared with Modena’s 11 attempts and four on target. The numbers point to a match in which the home side controlled the ball and repeatedly tested Modena’s goalkeeper, who still recorded a 70.0% save percentage from 10 shots on target faced. Venezia’s goalkeeper faced four efforts on target and posted a 50.0% save percentage as Modena remained sufficiently efficient to keep the scoreline close. With no xG or scorer data available, the shot volume provides the clearest indication of Venezia’s greater attacking pressure, while Modena’s two goals ensured their more limited possession did not make the contest straightforward. Venezia’s 3-2 win gives them an early domestic-cup success.
