Como lead Venezia 1-0 after Da Cunha's penalty in Serie A
Como were leading Venezia 1-0 in their Serie A match at the Sinigaglia in Como.
Lucas Da Cunha scored from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute after teammate Anastasios Douvikas was brought down by Juan Jesus.
The goal came after a VAR review overturned a Venezia penalty earlier in the first half.
Como had controlled much of the game, while Venezia were looking for a way back into it.
Venezia had started the match at the bottom of the table after winning one of their first nine league games.
Como, who had won four straight matches across all competitions, were seeking to extend their run.
The match was still in progress, with Venezia making changes as they chased an equaliser.
