ASD Calcio Caldiero Terme secured a 2-0 victory over Novara, demonstrating efficient and decisive play despite their lack of offensive set pieces like corner kicks. The home side managed to convert their limited opportunities, with their first goal coming early in the first half, setting the tone for the match. In contrast, Novara dominated corner opportunities and overall attempted to pressure the opposition, but their inability to capitalize on set pieces was a significant factor in their defeat.

A crucial element of Caldiero Terme’s success was their defensive solidity and discipline in the first half, despite the eventual piling of yellow cards and fouls that slightly marred their game. By maintaining a compact defensive structure, they prevented Novara from translating their corner dominance into goals. Novara, meanwhile, struggled to break through, as highlighted by their inability to produce a shot that tested the Caldiero goalkeeper extensively.

The match was marred by aggressive play from both sides, resulting in equal yellow cards and both teams down to ten men. Caldiero Terme was more resilient in managing their reduced numbers, maintaining composure to double their lead in the second half. Novara's aggressive approach seemed to backfire, as their high foul count and lack of composure underlined their inability to control the game's flow or break down Caldiero’s defensive lines effectively. This mismanagement in strategic fouling and card accumulation directly impacted their chances throughout the match.
