In this intensely contested game between Lecce U19s and Hellas Verona U19s, Campionato Primavera 1, played on January 28th, 2024, Lecce displayed a higher degree of precision and opportunism that eventually saw them win the match 2-1.

Statistically speaking, the home team showed great efficiency by managing to score 2 goals despite having only 2 corner kicks. Their first opening came in the 14th minute from a well-taken strike which cleverly set the tone of the match and raised the home team’s morale. The decisive blow was dealt later in the 68th minute, pushing their lead to a more comfortable 2-0.

On the other hand, Hellas Verona, though displaying determination and a fair amount of threat by earning 5 corner kicks, only managed to make the most of the attack once, trimming the lead to 2-1 in the 95th minute. However, by this time, their chances of recovery were slim, and the goal seemed to be a mere consolation.

Despite the score line, the Lecce side was not without shortcomings. This can be seen in terms of discipline as they received a total of 3 yellow cards, one in the first half while the other two were in quick succession during the second half. In comparison, Hellas Verona showed a bit more restraint with just one yellow card to their name, issued early in the first half.

However, the lack of discipline from Lecce did not prove costly, as they managed to prevent the match from turning on its head by maintaining their formation, avoiding a red card and hence a numerical disadvantage.

From an analytical standpoint, the match could have witnessed a different outcome had Hellas Verona capitalized on their multiple corner kick opportunities. Their failure to convert these set-pieces could be identified as a significant factor leading to their defeat, in addition to conceding two goals.

In conclusion, discipline focused attack and a robust defensive display were the building blocks for Lecce's victory. On the other side, whilst Verona shows potential with their ability to force corner kicks, their inefficiency in conversion poses as an area in need of improvement if they hope to swing future results in their favor. Even though Lecce needs to address their discipline, their ability to score when it mattered saw them taking all three points at the end of the day.
