Gianluca Busio and Venezia are leading the promotion pack in Serie B.
Busio scored his sixth goal of the season on Saturday in Venezia’s 4-0 road league win over Cesena. The American midfielder got the scoring going by delivering a stellar finish in the first half, roofing a free kick into the top corner past fellow American, Jonathan Klinsmann.
Andrea Adorante, Antoine Hainaut, and Lion Lauberbach would also add goals to pad Venezia’s 16th league win of the season and their sixth of 2026.
Busio completed the most passes of any player (83), while also winning five duels and making five defensive recoveries. The former MLS homegrown has continued to play a large role in Italy and could very well help Venezia get back to Serie A by summertime.
Up next for Busio and his Venezia teammates is a home date with last place Pescara on February 21
