However, the Icelandic player's shot from the left side of the penalty box was still saved by David De Gea.
In the 27th minute, it was Venezia goalkeeper Ionut Radu's turn to make a save after thwarting Nicolo Fagioli's shot from close range.
Both teams attacked each other, but no goals were scored until the first half ended. The score was 0-0.
