Although the goal came fairly early into the match at the 15th-minute mark, Carrarese managed to retain the lead till the end of the match, demonstrating their persistent grip on defense.

AS Lucchese, on the other hand, had a rough day struggling to break down the Carrarese defense and convert their opportunities.
