In a tightly contested Serie B clash, AS Cittadella secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Cosenza Calcio. The decisive moment came early in the match with a goal just over 11 minutes from the visitors. This quick lead allowed Cittadella to adopt a more defensive approach, which proved effective throughout the match. Cosenza's inability to convert any of their 9 corner kicks and multiple attacking opportunities was a critical factor in their failure to equalize or take the lead.

Cosenza's offensive efforts were summed up by a high number of shots both on target and off target, but persistent inaccuracies and a well-organized Cittadella defense thwarted their attempts. The away side, despite conceding more corner kicks, maintained strong defensive discipline. The effectiveness of Cittadella's four offsides was indicative of a coordinated defensive line, successfully frustrating the home side's attempts to break through.

Discipline and fouls were central elements, with Cosenza committing 17 fouls compared to Cittadella's 28. The accumulation of fouls and yellow cards, particularly in the second half, led to breaks in momentum for both sides but failed to sway the game significantly in Cosenza's favor. The absence of red cards kept each team's squad intact, emphasizing the role of strategic fouls and physical play in Cittadella's defensive game plan that ultimately secured them the win.
