Galatasaray 0:3 Venezia — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Venezia thumped Galatasaray 3-0 in a Club Friendly, with Lion Lauberbach scoring twice after coming off the bench to set up a meeting with Saint-Étienne on August 1. The Turkish side, despite boasting 52% possession and home advantage, were thoroughly outplayed by a Venezia side that looked sharper throughout.

The deadlock was broken in the 71st minute when John Yeboah fired Venezia ahead, and four minutes later Lion Lauberbach doubled the lead. Galatasaray's Barış Alper Yılmaz was booked in the 80th minute for frustration, and the game was sealed when Yeboah turned provider for Lauberbach to complete his brace in the 90th minute.

Venezia dominated the shot count 26-14 and were relentless in the second half, outshooting Galatasaray 16-7 despite having less possession. Galatasaray goalkeeper Jankat Yilmaz earned an 8.5 rating — the highest on the pitch — and was the standout for his side, though his heroics could not prevent the rout. CheckLive's model rated Venezia the clearer side and the result confirmed that prediction. Venezia now face Saint-Étienne on August 1.
