In the past football match held on 13th August 2023, there was a keen competition in Coppa Italia between Lecce, the home team, and FC Como, the away team. The game was highly anticipated and proved competitive but ultimately was tipped toward Lecce due to a few pivotal factors which led to their victory at 1-0.

The decisive goal was scored in the first half 26:54 minutes in by Lecce and can be linked to their ability to take more advantage of set pieces, as indicated by the greater number of corner kicks they won (7) compared to Como's 5. No additional goals occurred during the match demonstrating a significant effort by both teams to maintain strong defensive lines and that the one goal achieved early in the game was decisive in determining the match's outcome.

The time and spread of the infractions were also significant. Both teams seemed to have maintained disciplined play with equal yellow cards distributed (2 each). However, the timing of yellow cards signaled different phases of momentum in the game. Lecce received an initial yellow card early in the first half at 2:05, relatively unusual and possible evidence of initially high aggressiveness or tension. Despite that, this didn't disrupt their focus or impede their goal scoring rate. FC Como earned their yellow cards within the first half (18:40 and 22:23), potentially putting them on the defensive early on, especially after the lead taken by Lecce.

Interestingly, Lecce, although they won more corners, were also the only ones caught offside (2 times). This could imply they used a more assertive strategy, aggressively pushing forward more often. FC Como, on the other hand, although they held their defensive line well, never threatening an offside, appeared to lack the offensive breakthroughs needed to equalize or obtain a lead.

Overall, while the match proved an evenly contested battle with identical foul records and no red cards shown which would alter the team formations, it was Lecce's edge on corner kicks, earlier goal, and their ability to negotiate an early yellow card without significant disruption that provided them the advantage over FC Como in this particular match.
