In the Serie C football match between AZ Picerno and ASD Gelbison held on 25 March 2023, both teams delivered an intense and competitive game, which ultimately resulted in a 0-0 draw.

It appeared that both teams were equally focused on defence rather than offence judging by the zero goals scored by both teams despite the high number of corner kicks. Each team had exactly 7 corners, which in football, usually acts as an opportunity to score goals. However, both teams were unable to capitalise on these chances and convert them into goals. It would be worthwhile for both teams to review their set-piece strategies as corner kicks were widely available but not capitalised on.

Aside from the lack of goals, one of the crucial factors that stood out in this match was the high frequency of yellow cards. This suggests that both teams carried out a tough, no-nonsense style of play. The home team received 4 yellow cards while ASD Gelbison received 6, with the majority of those issued in the second half, which indicates that the intensity of the match increased and the rhythm become more aggressive as time went on. By the end of the game, there were more yellow cards than fouls with the home and away team having 2 and 1 foul(s) respectively.

Interestingly, despite the high frequency of cautions, none led to a red card which perhaps suggests effective management from the match referee. The number of yellow cards might also provide a glimpse into the tactics adopted by both teams as they tried to employ measures to disrupt the opponents' game plan.

In terms of team performance, the data doesn't show significant differences, both sides had fair games in terms of fouling and corner kicks which demonstrates equal control and influence over the game.

Overall, this match was marked by staunch defences and cautionary gameplay riddled with yellows instead of shots and goals. In the end, both teams need to rethink their strategies in front of the goal, their performances on set-pieces and how to control the aggressive rhythm of their performances to reduce the risk of cautions, without compromising the intensity of their play.
