ROME — Salernitana reached the safety spots with a 2-1 win over Venezia in Serie A after spending virtually the entire season in the relegation zone.

Venezia remained last and dropped seven points behind Salernitana with three matches remaining. Salernitana has won four of its last five matches and is on a five-game unbeaten run. The match was postponed from January when there was a coronavirus outbreak within Salernitana's team.
