In a tightly contested affair between Sampdoria U20 and Genoa U20, Genoa emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. The game demonstrated contrasting tactical approaches, highly influenced by the teams' different levels of efficiency in front of goal. Despite having more opportunities with seven corner kicks compared to Genoa’s two, Sampdoria U20 struggled to convert set-piece chances into goals, which became a pivotal factor in their defeat.

Genoa U20 showcased clinical precision, maximizing their limited opportunities. With only two shots on target translating into goals, Genoa demonstrated superior finishing skills, especially during critical phases of the second half. Their first goal early after the halftime break created momentum and pressured Sampdoria, leading to their second goal within 24 minutes of the first. This aspect underlined the significant impact of executing chances when they arise.

Defensively, both teams maintained a balanced discipline, given the shared tally of yellow cards and the singular red card per side. However, the red cards exacerbated the challenges each team faced in maintaining defensive shape and organization. Sampdoria’s inability to exploit the man advantage effectively during this period reflects a missed opportunity, contrasting with Genoa’s better adaptation to the changing dynamics of the game as they managed to protect their lead after the red cards came into play. This adaptability was a crucial aspect of Genoa U20's successful outing.
