In this Serie C matchup, Ascoli FC managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory over AS Gubbio. A crucial early goal, scored in the 15th minute, set the tone for Ascoli's performance. The goal provided psychological momentum and allowed the home team to play with defensive assurance. Ascoli’s ability to capitalize on their early advantage was complemented by their discipline, evidenced by receiving only one yellow card compared to Gubbio's four, showcasing more controlled tackling and better discipline.

AS Gubbio, on the other hand, struggled with maintaining discipline, accruing a staggering total of four yellow cards, two of which turned into red cards. These disciplinary issues severely hampered Gubbio's attacking capabilities, not only by reducing their manpower but also by shifting their focus to defending with a depleted squad. Despite having more corner kicks, five compared to Ascoli’s lone corner, Gubbio failed to convert these set pieces into goals, largely due to their inability to maintain composure and structure with fewer players on the field.

The offside incidents reflect contrasting tactical approaches, with Gubbio being caught offside more often. This indicates that Ascoli employed a well-organized defensive line, effectively neutralizing Gubbio's attempts to break through. Meanwhile, Ascoli's single offside shows their ability to maintain an effective forward line capable of maintaining pressure without overcommitting. Despite Gubbio's superior number of corner kicks, the lack of precision in their final-third play, exacerbated by their disciplinary woes, ultimately sealed their fate in the match.
