Venezia FC produced a clinical away performance to defeat SSC Bari 3–0 on Serie B matchday 35, with Ridgeciano Haps at the heart of the visitors’ victory.
The breakthrough arrived in the 19th minute when Haps opened the scoring for Venezia, giving the visitors an early advantage. Bari struggled to respond and their frustration grew as the half progressed. Emanuele Rao picked up a yellow card for the hosts in the 43rd minute, and things quickly got worse for Bari.
Haps struck again in first-half stoppage time, finding the net in the 45+1st minute to double Venezia’s lead just before the interval. His brace put Bari in a deep hole at the break and set the tone for the remainder of the match.
Bari attempted to change the momentum immediately after half-time, with Giacomo Stabile replacing Andrea Cistana at the restart. However, Venezia maintained control and extended their advantage in the 52nd minute, when Andrea Adorante added a third goal for the visitors.
With a three-goal cushion, Venezia managed the game through a series of substitutions. Lion Lauberbach and Richie Sagrado came on around the 64th minute, followed later by Nunzio Lella, Matteo Dagasso and Alfred Duncan to see out the contest. Bari, meanwhile, introduced Riccardo Pagano, Giacomo De Pieri, Christian Gytkjær and Marvin Cuni in search of a response, but the hosts were unable to find a way back into the match.
The win underlines Venezia’s strength at this stage of the regular season, while Bari are left to regroup after a convincing home defeat. Detailed statistics such as possession, shots and attendance were not available at the time of writing.
