The Serie B match between Palermo and AC Spezia on 1 December 2024 ended with a 2-0 victory for the home side, Palermo. The match was tightly contested, particularly in its early stages, with both sides receiving multiple yellow cards for aggressive play, indicating a highly competitive and physical battle in the midfield. Palermo’s early discipline issues, with three yellow cards in the first half alone, could have been a point of vulnerability. However, they managed to channel their energy to maintain control and capitalize on their opportunities to score.

Palermo’s offensive efforts were reflected in their six corner kicks, compared to Spezia's five, signifying Palermo's slight edge in attacking pressure. The home team’s ability to convert these attacking opportunities into goals was the defining factor, scoring once each in both halves. The first goal, coming roughly after 35 minutes, shifted the momentum firmly in Palermo’s favor, giving them confidence and further motivation to push forward.

AC Spezia, despite being competitive in possession and attempts, failed to significantly threaten the Palermo goalkeeper, as evidenced by the lack of goals. The visitors' similar corner count suggests they did manage to reach forward areas, yet they were inhibited by a lack of clinical finishing or penetrating creativity, resulting in no goals. This inefficacy in the final third ultimately diminished their chances of a comeback, sealing their fate as they struggled to convert pressure into substantial goal-scoring opportunities. The match outcome was decisively influenced by Palermo's effective conversion of chances and Spezia's failure to capitalize on their set pieces.
