On March 6th 2023, in the Campionato Primavera 1, Empoli FC’s Under 19 squad edged out a narrow 1-0 victory against Udinese’s Under 19s. A game that was largely defined by its disciplinary issues, Empoli managed to showcase superior focus and game management to secure their win.

The only goal of the match was scored in the first half at the 29:39 minute mark by Empoli, which essentially dictated the tempo and rhythm for the rest of the game. Empoli, the home team, managed to exert pressure on the opponents by hitting the target early which could very well have thrown Udinese off balance.

Udinese U19, throughout the game, seemed to show signs of a lack of composure and discipline, as indicated by their significantly higher count of yellow cards, accumulating a total of 5 compared to Empoli's lone one. Two of these were given out within a span of only 8 minutes in the first half of the match. Furthermore, two of their remaining cards were back-to-back in the second half. This not only indicated a lack of composure but also suggested that they may have been under immense pressure, forcing them into unnecessary fouls.

Although Udinese had more corner kicks than Empoli (7 to Empoli's 5), they failed to convert any into goals. This statistic could indicate a lack of precision in set-piece play from Udinese.

In conclusion, Empoli U19 utilized early scoring and maintained better discipline to edge out Udinese U19 in the match. While Udinese had more opportunities through their corner kicks, their lack of discipline, as demonstrated by the yellow cards, and their inability to convert set-pieces into goals worked against them eventually costing them the match.
