Two Gemilang Jay Idzes Rescues Failed To Help Venezia Win First Win In Serie A

Jay Idzes plays an important role for Venezia even though it hasn't produced a win (Instagram/@veniafc).

Jay Idzes performed full when Venezia hosted Torino in the third week of Serie A 2024/2025 at Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium, Friday, August 30, 2024.

Filling out the defense heart post with Michael Svoboda and Marin Sverko in a 3-4-2-1 formation, Idzes made two brilliant saves.

The first rescue was carried out in the 18th minute. Idzes managed to clear the ball before the Torino player preceded when the goal was empty.

The situation stems from Torino's cross into the heart of Venezuela's defense. Che Adams' shot was blocked by goalkeeper Jesse Joronen, but the ball rolled wildly to an empty far post. Luckily, Idzes swiftly threw the ball away before being struck by the Torino striker.

The brilliant save made the match last without a goal until halftime.

Idzes kembali menjadi aktor penting Venezia di paruh kedua dengan penyelamatannya. Pada menit ke-56, dia lagi-lagi bisa mengganti penyerang Torino, Ivan Ilic, untuk memotong crossan lawan ke posisi kosong.

Unfortunately, the two saves did not help Venezia get out of defeat. The host's goal finally conceded in the 86th minute through Saul Coco after taking advantage of the second ball from a corner.

Even though they lost, Venezia was actually not inferior. They have a dangerous chance when the game has only been running for 15 minutes.

However, the placing kick and long-range kick from Hans Nicolussi Caviglia could still be parried by goalkeeper Torino.

Caviglia also had a chance in the 56th minute with a shot from outside the penalty box. However, the effort has not paid off because the ball soared.

This result makes Venezia still not move in 19th place in the 2024/2025 Serie A standings. They have only packed one point from one draw and two defeats.
