In the Serie C match held on the 15th of January, 2023, ACR Messina emerged victorious, beating the home team, ADC Viterbese Castrense 3-1. Despite being the away team, Messina managed to dominate the match, in a vibrant display that saw them punish their opponents where it mattered most – on the scoreboard.

Messina’s tactical supremacy was noted from the goals' timeline data. The team pressed their advantage in the second half, scoring their first at 46:37 and quickly adding a second at 52:47. Viterbese Castrense managed to pull one back at 01:22:03, but Messina quickly quenched any hopes of a comeback, scoring their third at 01:29:09.

Notably, the discipline on the field was relatively consistent between both sides with each receiving equal number of yellow cards. However, Viterbese Castrense earned two quick yellow cards in the latter end of the second half, which may have destabilised their attempt at a comeback.

Although Viterbese Castrense had more corner kicks, at an impressive 9 compared to Messina’s 2, they were unable to capitalise on these potential scoring opportunities. This points towards Messina’s robust defending. Conversely, it could be said that despite few opportunities, Messina showcased clinical precision in their attacking plays, seen in their goal count.

Another statistic worth mentioning is the offsides, where the numbers were tilted in favour of Viterbese Castrense. The home team only infringed the offside rule once compared with the away side's four. Nonetheless, despite less disciplined play, Messina seems to have deployed a high attacking strategy that eventually paid off.

Despite the loss, it's worth mentioning that ADC Viterbese Castrense held their own in maintaining possession and creating opportunities, as we can infer from the high number of corners. Undeniably, they were disadvantaged by their inability to convert these opportunities into goals and their less effective defence.

To conclude, statistics point to ACR Messina as the more efficient of the two in this match, tightening their defence when necessary and capitalising on their chances despite fewer opportunities. Meanwhile, ADC Viterbese Castrense's weaknesses — failing to capitalise on corner kicks and a late flurry of yellow cards — stood out as the factors that cost them the match.
