Nigeria's Akor Adams has ended Venezia's losing streak in the Venezia Serie A by scoring the only goal in their 1-0 victory over Napoli. The match, held on a Saturday afternoon in Venice, ended in a shocking fashion, with Adams' second-half strike providing the decisive blow. Since the previous month, Napoli had not suffered a loss in away league matches.
Four minutes into the second half, Adams expertly maneuvered to a long ball forward, striking the ball that deflected off the goalkeeper into the net. At the age of 25, the former Sevilla forward scored his second league goal of the season. Following the match, Adams and his teammates celebrated their first clean sheet of the season, marking a significant milestone.
This win is a first against Napoli in any competition for 23 years, dating back to a 2-1 victory in Serie B in 2003. Furthermore, it is the first Serie A triumph over the former champions in the 21st century. Despite this success, Venezia remains at the bottom of the Serie A table with a mere three points from seven matches so far this season.
