The Serie C match that took place on October 20, 2023, between AZ Picerno and ACR Messina ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams displayed exceptional teamwork and sportsmanship. However, there were a few factors that appeared to have a significant bearing on the final outcome of the match.

In terms of goals, both teams scored once in the second half. This offset came after a total of 81 minutes of goalless play. This suggests that the initial part of the game was a battle for possession, with both teams showing substantial defensive efforts.

AZ Picerno opened the scoring in the second half at 01:10:01, only to have Messina respond shortly after at 01:14:19, equalizing the match. This quick comeback from Messina could suggest that the morale of the Picerno team was slightly shaken after their goal, opening an opportunity for Messina to equalize.

The norm was largely similar for yellow cards, with both teams collecting three yellow cards each over the course of the match. The home team received their first yellow card early in the first half at 00:06:47 while the away team was shown their first yellow card much later into the first half, at 00:42:28. The remaining yellow cards for both teams were given out during the second half, with the two last cards notably given out almost simultaneously at 01:15:26 for the home team and at 01:15:28 for the away team. These cards did not affect the overall result, however, as both teams avoided further disciplinary action that could have led to red cards.

In terms of corner kicks, Messina had a marginally higher number (4) compared to Picerno (2). This suggests that Messina had more attacking opportunities, however, this did not translate into more goals.

Overall, the match between AZ Picerno and ACR Messina was evenly balanced in terms of goals and cards. However, the slightly aggressive play by both teams, translating into a total of six yellow cards could suggest a relatively intense game of football. While Messina appeared to have more attacking opportunities based on the corner kick count, Picerno seems to have held their defense quite well to restrict the away team to just a single goal, resulting in a draw.
