In this Serie C competitive encounter between AC Perugia Calcio and Spal 2013 on 21st January 2024, AC Perugia Calcio emerged as victors in an increasingly-ruthless contest, securing a 3-1 win. This comprehensive victory can significantly be attributed to three major turning points: a strategic comeback in goal scoring and disciplinary behavior, and maximized corner kick opportunities.

Looking at the goal stats, Spal 2013 initially looked set to dominate the game as they struck in the first half at the 4 minutes 52 seconds mark. However, AC Perugia Calcio refreshed their game in the second half, parking three goals in a span of just over 10 minutes, turning the match on its head. This rally undoubtedly had a major impact on the morale and momentum of both teams, and ultimately the match result.

In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team AC Perugia Calcio had three yellow cards compared to the one yellow card for Spal 2013, indicating a slightly more aggressive playstyle from Perugia. Their first booking came in the first half at 36 minutes 19 seconds, while the other two were doled out in the second half. Even though it was more aggressive, it seemed to have worked to Perugia’s favor due to the absence of red cards and the eventual scoreline favoring them.

Corner kicks also played a decisive role. While both teams had a similar amount of opportunities (6 for AC Perugia Calcio and 5 for Spal 2013), AC Perugia had a more effective utilization of the set pieces possibly leading to their three goals in the second half, which was a major determinant of the outcome.

Looking at the foul statistics, AC Perugia committed 6 fouls compared to Spal 2013’s 3. This suggests that AC Perugia played a pressing game attractive to foul play, a sacrifice they seemed willing to make to destabilize Spal 2013’s game rhythm.

Significantly, there were several offsides made by AC Perugia Calcio (2), whereas Spal 2013 managed to avoid any offsides, indicating their calculated offensive plays. However, this cautious approach might have limited their offensive options, contributing to their failing to put more goals on the board.

In conclusion, AC Perugia Calcio's comeback in the second half emphasized their resilience, and use of corner kicks, although they risked through foul play and offsides, was a gamble that worked to their advantage in securing victory. Spal 2013's discipline and careful offensive approach, reflected in fewer yellows, fewer fouls, and zero offsides, did not translate to them gaining an advantage in this encounter.
