Venezia FC Women ended the season with a home victory, defeating San Marino Women 6-4 after a thrilling match full of emotions, comebacks, and attacking quality.

After a bright start from the Lionesses, who threatened early through Furlanis, Zuanti, and Cortesi, it was San Marino who took the lead in the 21st minute: Giuliani caught Pucova off guard with a long-range strike to make it 0-1. The visitors gained confidence and doubled their advantage in the 35th minute through Tudisco, who finished well at the far post shortly after entering the penalty area. Venezia responded strongly before halftime. In the 43rd minute, Zuanti played Furlanis through in the box, and the forward beat the goalkeeper with a precise touch to reduce the deficit. Just one minute later, captain Zuanti made it 2-2 with a powerful strike from the edge of the area into the top corner.

In the second half, the orange-and-black side shifted into another gear. In the 50th minute, a brilliant team move allowed Furlanis to score again: the striker dribbled past the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into the net to complete Venezia’s comeback. Five minutes later, the lagoon club’s number 47 completed her hat-trick, finishing with an accurate left-footed strike at the far post following a corner kick. Venezia kept pushing and, in the 59th minute, won a penalty after a foul on Furlanis. Cortesi calmly converted from the spot to make it 5-2. In the 65th minute, Saggion added her name to the scoresheet, curling a left-footed shot into the net after a goalkeeper rebound to extend the lead to 6-2. Late in the game, San Marino tried to fight back with goals from Giuliani in the 72nd minute and Manzetti in the 85th, but the orange-and-black side controlled the match until the final whistle, also coming close to a seventh goal in stoppage time through Novelli and Orlandi

The Venezia FC Lionesses suffered an away defeat against Lumezzane at the end of a dramatic and action-packed match. After taking the lead in the second half through Ballo and equalizing late on thanks to Cortesi, the orange-and-black side were eventually beaten 4-2 by the Lombardy team in the closing minutes. Following this result, the Venetian side have been mathematically relegated.

The match was balanced and hard-fought from the opening stages. Coach Oliveira’s players created several chances but lacked precision in the final third. In the 14th minute, from a corner taken by Mazis, Saggion headed over the bar. Shortly afterward, Ballo set up Mazis on the edge of the area, but the shot went wide. Venezia kept pressing: Zuanti tried from distance in the 37th minute, while in the 39th minute Mazis came close to scoring with a powerful effort that narrowly missed the target. Near the end of the first half, Doneda also threatened, but her shot was blocked by the home defense. Lumezzane mainly responded through dangerous counterattacks, but the score remained 0-0 at halftime.

Venezia started the second half strongly. In the 49th minute, Capecchi made a crucial save from Willis’ header, and three minutes later the orange-and-black side took the lead: high pressure on the right forced an error from the Lombard defense, allowing Ballo to unleash a precise right-footed strike from the edge of the box into the top corner for 0-1. The home side reacted and equalized in the 66th minute through Pinna, who took advantage of a through ball and beat Pucova. Lumezzane completed the comeback in the 72nd minute from a corner kick: after a scramble in the area, Sule scored from close range to make it 2-1. The game changed again in the 77th minute when Pinna was sent off for a foul on Duarte, leaving the home side down to ten players. Venezia immediately capitalized on the numerical advantage and equalized 2-2 in the 84th minute: Duarte assisted Cortesi, who cut inside onto her left foot and curled a precise shot into the far corner beyond Capecchi’s reach. Despite being a player down, Lumezzane still found the strength to strike again. In the 88th minute, Sule received the ball inside the area and beat Pucova to restore the Rossoblù lead. Deep into stoppage time, with Venezia pushing forward in search of an equalizer, Burbassi sealed the result on the counterattack, making it 4-2.

On matchday 24 of the Women’s Serie B, Venezia FC’s “Leonesse” suffered a defeat after a brave and intense performance, but paid dearly for a few defensive mistakes. After Willis gave Venezia the lead in the first half, Frosinone turned the game around in the second half through goals from De Matteis, Buono, and Maier.

Oliveira’s Venezia had to be alert as early as the 6th minute when Naydenova’s free kick from the edge of the box was deflected for a corner by Pucova. The orange-black-greens responded in the 18th minute with a quick one-two between Ballo and Willis, ending in a shot saved by the goalkeeper. In the 24th minute, Zuanti tried from distance, but the defense blocked it. The deserved lead came in the 30th minute: a wide free kick taken by Cortesi found Willis, who rose perfectly to head home for 1–0. Venezia kept pushing: in the 34th minute, Gismann tried from outside the box, forcing a save, while in the 39th minute Duarte nearly doubled the lead from a corner, with Frosinone clearing off the line. Towards the end of the first half, Venezia remained on the attack but couldn’t find the second goal.

The second half opened again with an attacking Venezia: Zuanti immediately won a corner and, shortly after, a valuable indirect free kick inside the box was awarded for a back pass to the goalkeeper, but Mounecif’s shot was cleared off the line. Missed chances proved costly, and in the 63rd minute Frosinone equalized through De Matteis, capitalizing on poor ball management by the hosts. The visitors gained confidence and in the 71st minute completed the comeback with Buono, who made a central run and beat Pucova. Venezia tried to respond with long-range efforts from Zuanti and Doneda, and a good individual move by Furlanis, but without success. In stoppage time, Frosinone scored their third: in the 93rd minute Maier sealed the result on the counterattack. Late on, Venezia had a chance to pull one back with a penalty, but Furlanis’ shot hit the crossbar.

An important away victory for Venezia FC, who beat Bologna 2–1 at the end of a hard-fought and exciting match. Coach Luis Oliveira’s side, after going behind in the first half, showed great character in the second half to turn the game around thanks to goals from Zuanti and Ballo.

The match began with a strong start from Bologna, who tried to create danger in the opening minutes without seriously troubling Pucova. Venezia responded in an organized manner, attempting to build play and nearly taking the lead in the 20th minute through Mounecif, whose effort from the edge of the box went just wide. As the minutes passed, the home side increased the pressure and found the breakthrough in the 36th minute: Tironi was the quickest to react in the penalty area and, in a crowded situation, managed to beat Pucova for 1–0. Bologna pushed forward and came close to doubling their lead several times, but the Venezia goalkeeper produced two crucial saves against Tironi in the 37th and 40th minutes, keeping her team in the game.

In the second half, Venezia came back onto the pitch with greater determination, looking for a goal to reopen the match. After a few early attempts, the equalizer arrived in the 59th minute: a शानदार move down the left and a precise finish from Zuanti, who beat a defender and placed the ball into the far corner for 1–1. The momentum shifted, and the orange-and-green side grew in confidence, creating several dangerous chances with Zuanti, Furlanis, and Girotto. The winning goal came in the 84th minute: a corner taken by Furlanis and a decisive header from Ballo, who completed the comeback. In the closing stages, Bologna pushed for a last equalizer, but Venezia defended compactly, and Pucova once again made a crucial save to secure the result. A spirited victory for the Lionesses, who showed resilience and determination to claim three valuable away points.
