In this closely contested Serie C fixture, Novara emerged victorious over US Pergolettese 1932 with a narrow 2-1 win. Novara's early strike set the tone, as they found the net just over 15 minutes into the match. Notably, their early dominance proved crucial, allowing them to dictate the pace and control much of the first half. Pergolettese managed to level the score before halftime, indicating their resilience and capability to exploit defensive gaps in Novara's lineup amidst three offsides, highlighting Novara's aggressive attacking approach but slight lack of precision.

US Pergolettese's ability to equalize was also crucially supported by their discipline in staying onside throughout the match. However, their solitary red card significantly hindered their efforts in the second half. Playing with a numerical disadvantage, Pergolettese struggled to maintain their defensive organization and attacking fluidity. This disadvantage became particularly significant as Novara capitalized with their winning goal late in the second half, precisely when Pergolettese was adjusting to being one player short.

Novara's performance was marked by their effectiveness in balancing a reasonably cautious number of corner kicks (three) with disciplined play, avoiding the pitfalls of frequent offsides despite their three total. Both teams displayed aggressive tendencies, leading to multiple yellow cards, but Novara managed to avoid the debilitating impact of a red card. Novara's second-half strategy, highlighted by careful midfield play and an opportunistic approach, ultimately clinched the game for them, revealing their tactical maturity and ability to exploit opponents' vulnerabilities.
