In the Serie B match that took place on February 17, 2024, AC Spezia demonstrated great dominance at home, beating AS Cittadella with a 4-2 score. Both teams refrained from rough play as indicated by the absence of any yellow or red card offenses, focusing more on tactical play and execution.

AC Spezia's superior offensive play was crucial for this victory. With a solid 8 shots on target from a total of 13 attempts, compared to AS Cittadella’s 6 shots on target out of 14 attempts, it was evident that AC Spezia was more accurate in front of the goal. AS Cittadella, despite having more shots off target, could not capitalize on these chances, thus underscoring their struggle in converting opportunities to goals.

AC Spezia also dominated in the midfield as they won 7 corner kicks, suggesting they controlled territorial play and kept the pressure on AS Cittadella's defense more regularly. On the other hand, AS Cittadella won only 4 corners, indicating less control over the play in the offensive third.

The teams were evenly matched in terms of goalkeeper saves, with each keeper making 4 saves. Nonetheless, some critical saves from the home side may have deflated AS Cittadella's morale and helped to tilt the match in AC Spezia’s favor.

Another key factor in AC Spezia's victory was better utilization of opportunities to exploit defensive gaps, as indicated by the 2 offsides against them compared to the higher 4 offsides for AS Cittadella. This highlights AC Spezia's calculated risk-taking strategy in the offensive half.

The match saw equal number of substitutions (3) from both sides, suggesting a strategic use of fresh legs and versatility in their game plans.

The 12 fouls committed by AC Spezia to the 15 by AS Cittadella reflects the fiercely contested nature of the match, though AC Spezia seemed to manage their tactical fouling better since they were able to commit fewer fouls thereby breaking up play without inviting any disciplinary action.

Overall, superior shooting accuracy, effective midfield dominance, disciplined aggressive play, and better use of offside traps were the key elements of AC Spezia's emphatic win. AS Cittadella, despite their efforts, could not match their opponents in these crucial areas, ultimately leading to their defeat.
