The Battle of Sacile on 16 April 1809 saw the Franco-Italian Army of Italy commanded by Eugène de Beauharnais attack Archduke John of Austria's Army of Inner Austria. In the morning, the Austrians successfully held off Franco-Italian assaults on their left flank. Later in the day, John counterattacked to drive Eugène's troops from the battlefield. The battle at Sacile was preceded by the action of Pordenone on 15 April in which the Austrian advance guard mauled the French rear guard. The Austrian victory compelled Eugène to withdraw to the Adige River at Verona where he gathered reinforcements and planned a counteroffensive.
