In the Serie C match on May 18, 2023, Ancona-Matelica faced off against Lecco, in what transpired to be a fiercely contested battle that resulted in a 2-2 draw.

Notably, Lecco displayed an impressive offensive strategy in the first half, scoring their first goal within the initial 30 minutes and causing serious problems for Ancona-Matelica's defense. Lecco's potency was further witnessed in the second half as they netted another goal at 75th minute taking the score to 0-2. However, Ancona-Matelica pulled off an admirable comeback, with two goals in quick succession after the 83rd minute.

The turning point of the game was, without a doubt, Ancona-Matelica's comeback in the final quarter, which can largely be attributed to their persistence in attack, displayed by the higher number of corner kicks they earned (9 against Lecco's 7). This allowed them to thereby create more scoring opportunities, compensating for the early setbacks.

Diving deeper into the statistical data, Ancona-Matelica received four yellow cards, indicating an aggressive and perhaps, undisciplined performance, which could potentially have disrupted their gameplay and allowed Lecco to capitalise on the situation. On the other hand, Lecco received two yellow cards, showing a more contained approach.

The discipline factor might also have a knock-on effect on the team's cohesion. However, it's credit-worthy that despite receiving four yellow cards, Ancona-Matelica successfully managed to keep their players on the pitch, which considerably assisted their late recovery in the game.

Another noteworthy point is offsides. While it's an often overlooked aspect, offsides can disrupt the offensive flow of a match. Interestingly in this match, Ancona-Matelica was never caught offside, indicating either a well-disciplined attack or a less aggressive defensive line from Lecco. On the contrary, Lecco was flagged offside once during the match.

In summation, despite an early offensive advantage by Lecco, Ancona-Matelica's relentless attack, coupled with a well-disciplined offensive line not falling into offsides, significantly contributed to the 2-2 outcome. Additionally, the quite aggressive approach from Ancona-Matelica, as indicated by the yellow cards, served a dual purpose, hindering their defense in the first half but potentially fuelling their aggressive comeback in the second half.
