A. Adams opened the scoring for the hosts on 22 minutes with an assist from G. Busio, and A. Hainaut later added a goal on 86 minutes set up by R. Haps, earning Hainaut a 7.7 rating. Yet the visitors proved too strong as F. Mastantuono delivered a hat-trick with goals on 29, 30, and 84 minutes, alongside a strike from M. Pellegrino on 66 minutes. Mastantuono earned a standout 9.9 rating for his performance, while Filip Stanković received an 8.5 rating for Venezia.
