Gianluca Busio is riding the goalscoring form of his career to date.
Busio scored on Saturday for the third-consecutive match as Venezia claimed a 1-0 home league victory over Ternana. The former Sporting KC homegrown logged 90 minutes alongside fellow U.S. men’s national team teammate Tanner Tessmann.
With fog engulfing the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo for majority of the match, Busio took advantage by slotting home the winning goal with six minutes to play. The 21-year-old’s right-footed shot landed into the bottom-right corner, giving Venezia its breakthrough goal on home soil.
Venezia would hang on for a crucial home three points in its question for promotion back to Serie A. Busio won four duels, drew two fouls, and created two offensive opportunities from his midfield position.
Venezia now sits third in the Serie B standings on 41 points with 16 matches to play.
Busio now has five goals and two assists in 21 league appearances, continuing to play a key role for the club.
Up next for Paolo Vanoli’s squad is a February 3 date with Parma.
