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.

At the “Taliercio” Sports Center, Venezia FC and Arezzo played out a draw. The final 1–1 result came from a spirited performance by the Lionesses, who were caught by the Tuscan side right at the end.

In front of a delegation from Venezia FC Powerchair, present for the occasion, Oliveira’s team started with determination but risked falling behind as early as the 4th minute: at their first attacking move, Arezzo won a penalty. However, Razzolini hit the post from the spot, sparing Venezia and keeping the score at 0–0. The home side reacted and gradually took control of the game. In the 28th minute, Zuanti came close to opening the scoring, but her shot from the center of the box went just wide. The deserved breakthrough arrived in the 38th minute: Willis scored a fine goal, heading backwards with a looping effort that surprised the opposing goalkeeper to make it 1–0. Shortly before halftime, Willis nearly doubled the lead, but she was in an offside position.

In the second half, Venezia managed their advantage and continued to create chances. Zuanti tried from distance in the 52nd minute without success, while in the 72nd minute Willis, well set up by Ballo, saw her shot deflected for a corner. Towards the end, Girotto tested the Arezzo goalkeeper, who made a good save. Just when the match seemed headed for a Venezia win, the late twist arrived: in the 95th minute, following a free kick, the ball remained loose in the box and substitute Fortunati found the decisive touch to make it 1–1.
