Venezia lost 2-0 to Lazio on September 19, 2026, marking their fifth consecutive defeat in Serie A. Giovanni Stroppa expressed frustration that Venezia's performances are not reflected in their points tally. Despite having six shots on target compared to Lazio's two, Venezia wasted key opportunities, including a missed penalty by John Yeboah. Lazio's Mattia Zaccagni converted a spot-kick, and Tijjani Noslin added another goal. Stroppa's position is under scrutiny, with reports linking potential replacements as Venezia struggles at the bottom of the league.
