Gianluca Busio delivers winner as Venezia stays in promotion fight

Last week Tanner Tessmann helped Venezia earn a crucial three points in Serie B play and today marked Gianluca Busio’s time to shine.

Busio delivered the winning goal for Venezia in a 2-1 road victory over Lecco, keeping them in the promotion fight. The U.S. men’s national team midfielder logged 90 minutes alongside Tessmann as Venezia stayed three points back of second-place Como in the hunt for automatic promotion back to Serie A.

Venezia fell down 1-0 in the first half but rallied back in the second half to flip the match in its favor. After Joel Pohjanpalo tied the match in the 58th minute, Busio’s right-footed finish two minutes later boosted the visitors in front 2-1.

Venezia would hang on for its 19th league win of the campaign, moving them to 64 points on the season. With four matches left to play, Venezia will certainly remain the promotion race if they continue to deliver performances like Saturday’s.

Both Busio and Tessmann have been crucial to Venezia this season and will need to continue delivering important minutes.

Up next for Venezia is an April 26 date with Cremonese.
