Padua – Padova-Hellas Verona ended 1-1 in Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Serie BKT.

In the 6th minute, Sarr played the ball to Bradaric on the left edge of the box, who struck a low, diagonal shot that Sorrentino comfortably held.

In the 16th minute, Compagnon broke away on a counter-attack down the right, cut inside onto his left foot, and fired over the bar. In the 20th minute, Moro won possession from Slotsager off a throw-in and picked out Fusi inside the six-yard box. Padova’s number 8 laid it off for the oncoming Pompetti, whose first-time effort from close range lacked power.

In the 26th minute, Cocchi delivered a cross from the left flank toward Carissoni; Edmundsson beat the wing-back to the ball, but inadvertently deflected the cross into his own net, putting Padova 1-0 up. In the 33rd minute, Bernede found Le Borgne between the lines, who brought it down and took aim with his left foot from the edge of the area, missing the target by inches.

In the 34th minute, Sarr forced Sorrentino to tip the ball out for a corner with a right-footed strike from distance.

In the 41st minute, Sarr threatened again from the right, whipping in a driven cross toward the far post for Compagnon's head, but Cocchi managed to clear ahead of the Verona winger.

In the 42nd minute, Carissoni finished off a counter-attack led by Caprari with a central shot that was parried away by Leali.

In the 45th minute, Zuelli spotted Leali off his line and attempted an audacious lob from midfield, missing the goal by a narrow margin. Following two minutes of stoppage time, the first half drew to a close with the score at 1-0.

In the second half, in the 66th minute, Compagnon was brought down inside the penalty area by Cocchi: penalty awarded to Hellas. Sarr stepped up to the spot and made no mistake, side-footing it into the top corner with his right foot.

In the 76th minute, Bradaric delivered a waist-high cross from the left; Mulattieri threw himself at it to direct it toward goal, but couldn't keep it on target.

In the 87th minute, from a corner delivered by Bradaric, Korac struck it with his right foot from the edge of the box, sending his effort high over the bar. In the 91st minute, Livramento, set up by Kastanos on the break, controlled the ball and unleashed a right-footed strike that crashed against the crossbar. Following four minutes of added time, the match concluded with a 1-1 draw.

Verona's next fixture will take place on Thursday, September 3 at 9:00 PM, when the Gialloblù travel to the Unipol Domus to face Cagliari in the Round of 32 of the 2026/27 Coppa Italia Frecciarossa.
