In the closing minutes of the match, Triestina made a push for a late equalizer and Venezia struggled under the pressure. Piazza was shown a red card late, and Triestina would have their final chance on a free-kick from the edge of the area, but the shot deflected off the wall, and Venezia would take all three points.
