“Nicola Rauti fires Vicenza into the lead, capping a spell of pressure that included Silvio Merkaj and Amin Sarr both testing the Verona defense earlier in the half.”
Pivotal“Daniel Mosquera levels for Verona, converting from a corner after Amin Sarr had gone close with a header moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Mosquera strikes again within two minutes, pouncing after Mattia Valoti's follow-up effort was saved, to complete the turnaround and put Verona ahead.”
Pivotal“Riccardo Marchizza almost drags Vicenza level again but sends his effort wide as the visitors push for a late equalizer.”
Outstanding performance

Vicenza looked the more clinical side for long stretches, taking the lead through Nicola Rauti in the 58th minute after a spell of sustained pressure, and their numbers back up the eye test with more shots on target early and a higher tally of big chances created despite less possession. Verona dominated the ball throughout, with 57% possession and 496 passes to Vicenza's 378, but struggled to turn that control into real threat until a triple substitution overhaul just after the hour changed the complexion of the game. Daniel Mosquera, introduced as one of those substitutes, scored twice in the space of two minutes - first converting a corner-created chance from Amin Sarr, then finishing off a rebound after his own initial shot was parried - to flip the scoreline from 0-1 to 2-1 inside a five-minute window. The result keeps Verona's push up the table alive while Vicenza will rue their wastefulness, having missed two big chances and managed only two shots on target from nine attempts across the ninety minutes.
How entertaining was this match?
Hellas Verona host bitter regional rivals Vicenza at the Bentegodi in a Veneto derby stripped of away fans due to a security ban. Both sides sit in the bottom half of the table and badly need a lift after mixed starts to the season.
