In a closely contested Serie C fixture between AS Cittadella and AC Lumezzane, the crucial early goal by Lumezzane set the tone for the match. The away team scored in the 25th minute, capitalizing on their initial momentum and maintaining their lead throughout the game. This early goal proved decisive, as Cittadella couldn't break through the disciplined defensive setup of Lumezzane despite their efforts.

Both teams displayed aggressive styles, resulting in a high foul count with 19 fouls for the home side and 13 for the visitors. The shared tally of three yellow cards each indicates a physically intense match, where both teams pushed the boundaries of fair play. Cittadella, however, struggled to convert their aggressive play into scoring opportunities, hampered by Lumezzane's effective defensive strategies.

Cittadella's eight corner kicks to Lumezzane's five demonstrated their attempts to pressure the opponent's goal. Nonetheless, Lumezzane’s defense, highlighted by keeping a clean sheet, proved effective under this pressure. The solitary offside call against Cittadella reflects their attempts to exploit the offside trap or positioning errors in Lumezzane’s defensive line but ultimately found limited success. The match hinged on Lumezzane's ability to maintain discipline and focus following their early advantage, which Cittadella could not overcome despite their concerted efforts.
