Calcio Padova faces off against Venezia in the Primavera 2 playoffs for the decisive return match. A goal from Lo Biundo at the end of the first half gives the biancoscudati the stay in category, while Venezia fails to secure salvation despite a generous but inconclusive game under the bar. Arancioneroverdi are immediately dangerous with a header from McDonagh at the 13th minute that ends high above the crossbar of the goal defended by Melato. At the 19th minute, Venezia is still close to the goal with Carlini on the developments of a free kick, the shot from the 2007 class ends just offside. At the 30th minute, Padova approaches Furlanetto: Carraro serves Kasala who tries the first post but concludes outside. The teams proceed at low pace, trying not to reveal themselves too much and maintaining possession of the ball. At the 35th minute, a thrill for Melato who deviates in corner a venomous cross from Maiorana. At the end of the first half, Padova finds the advantage with Lo Biundo who beats Furlanetto after a defensive disengagement error from the arancioneroverdi. At the interval, it's 1-0 for the biancoscudati. A timid right from Mariutto from 20 meters opens the second half. At the 58th minute, Kasala's double is annulled for offside; Padova can now take advantage of the restarts to become dangerous. Just a counterattack from the padovans at the 60th minute is thwarted by a punctual and courageous exit from Furlanetto. At the 63rd minute, Fondi turns his head on a cross from Antoniacci, but his attempt ends between the hands of Melato. The boys of Modolo try to raise the pace, the accelerations of Dragan and Damiano, newly entered, create problems for the Padova defense that however resists the opponent's forcing. At the 72nd minute, a great descent of Favaro from the right frees Fondi who puts in the middle but does not find the partner for the tap-in under the bar. Still Fondi scares Melato with a header at the 80th minute. At the 86th minute, Dragan's right from a good position ends on the bottom; the lagunari now attack every space looking for the equalizer, but the defensive phase of the guests closes every offensive sortie arancioneroverde. Faye grants six minutes of recovery: Gardin goes close to the 2-0 at the 92nd minute, Boro eats the double two minutes later at two steps from the goal. The final forcing of Venezia does not materialize, at the 96th minute Damiano shoots high just before the triple whistle of the referee that seals the salvation of Padova and the consequent relegation to Primavera 3 of Venezia.
