In the Serie C match concluded on 28 January 2024 at 17:30 EEST, the home team Ancona-Matelica played against the away team Cesena FC. The final score was 2-0, in favour of Cesena FC.

The match was largely dominated by Cesena FC. This was demonstrated by the two goals they scored, the first of which was converted in the early second half at 00:50:51 and the second later in the second half at 01:32:54. Despite Ancona-Matelica taking control of some aspects of the game, particularly in terms of corner kicks (7 as compared to Cesena FC's 9), they were unable to translate these efforts into goals.

Discipline was a significant issue for both sides, but more so for Ancona-Matelica which had a total of 3 yellow cards and 1 red card as opposed to Cesena FC's 2 yellow cards. Ancona-Matelica's first yellow card was given in the first half at 00:13:48 and two additional yellow in the second half, one of which resulted in a send-off reducing Ancona-Matelica to 10 men. This numerical disadvantage was evident in the later stages of the match, giving Cesena FC an upper hand.

Another crucial statistic to be considered is the number of fouls committed by both teams. Ancona-Matelica led with 21 fouls contrary to Cesena FC's 13, which again demonstrates a lack of discipline from the home team and possibly reflects the aggression and desperation in their gameplay.

Offside was another statistic where Cesena FC did not fare too well. The away side was offside six times in the match while Ancona-Matelica had no offsides. This could highlight a lackadaisical defence from Ancona-Matelica or point towards an aggressive, forward play from Cesena FC who sought to extend their advantage.

Overall, despite having fewer corner kicks and more offsides, Cesena FC were able to capitalise on the opportunities they created and disciplined themselves better on the field. Ancona-Matelica, however, struggled to create scoring opportunities and their lack of discipline, particularly in the second half, significantly impacted the game's outcome.

To conclude, the result of 2-0 in favour of Cesena FC was primarily impacted by their ability to capitalise on scoring chances and better discipline, while Ancona-Matelica failed to utilise their corner kicks and their aggression led to unnecessary fouls and bookings.
