Leicester Tigers went to Treviso in the hope of a repeat of their result last week at Welford Road – a bonus-point win.
Here is how the action unfolded at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo, in Treviso.
5 min: George Ford has a chance to open the scoring for Leicester with a long-distance kick. It has the legs but drifts well wide.
13 min: TRY (0-7) Adam Thompstone scores Tigers' best try of the season and one that will do well to be bettered all season. Ben Youngs begins the move near his own line with a quick tap penalty and scampers into space on the right. On halfway, he passes to Anthony Allen who finds Mat Tait at pace. The 26-year-old takes it on and makes a stunning offload back to Allen. He fizzes a pass out to Thompstone, who runs in a sensational score. Fly-half Ford adds a tough conversion for Tigers.
16 min: YELLOW CARD Treviso prop Michele Rizzo is sent to the sin-bin for stamping on a Tigers player at the back of a ruck and the hosts are down to 14 men.
28 min: PENALTY-TRY (7-7) Huge controversy as Treviso take line-out ball and rumble a maul towards the Leicester line. Julian Salvi comes in and pulls the maul down and referee Alain Rolland goes straight under the posts for a penalty-try. Tigers players protest to the Irish official but it's too late and Alberto Di Bernardo levels the scores.
32 min: Di Bernardo misses the chance to put the home side ahead with a penalty.
35 min: PENALTY (10-7) The Italian fly-half makes no mistake a few minutes later and slots over a penalty which puts his side ahead for the first time in the game.
40 min: Ford misses his second penalty of the half and this is the easier one of the two. It means Tigers go in at the break behind after dominating the opening half-an-hour.
H-T: Treviso 10 Leicester 7
45 min: PENALTY (13-7) Di Bernardo extends the home side's advantage to six points as they begin the second half in positive fashion.
66 min: YELLOW CARD Treviso centre Christian Loamanu becomes the second Italian player sent to the bin after a cynical block of Geordan Murphy after the Irishman had unloaded an up-and-under.
77 min PENALTY TRY (13-14) There's more controversy in the final minutes as Treviso are penalised time and time again by Rolland at a five-metre scrum but he does not award a penalty try until it is nearly too late. Eventually, Leicester get their reward, Ford adds the extras from in front of the posts.
F-T: Treviso 13 Leicester 14
