In the hotly contested Serie C match between Foggia and Catania held on the 02nd of February 2024, both teams ended with a 1-1 draw demonstrating evenly matched offensive and defensive play. The significant statistical parameters of the match such as goals, yellow cards, and corner kicks played crucial roles in shaping the final outcome.

The goals in the match were scored within a close time frame of each other in the first half, with the away team (Catania) opening the scoring at 19 minutes 45 seconds, and the home team (Foggia) answering back just over 13 minutes later at 33 minutes 2 seconds. This swift response from Foggia shows an impressive level of resolve and team cohesion under pressure.

Analyzing the yellow cards data also provides some interesting insights. Catania accumulated three yellow cards, one in the first half and two in the second half, which may indicate a more aggressive, perhaps even recklessly so, style of play. Foggia, however, attained their two yellow cards post the hour mark in the second half. These bookings could suggest fatigue-induced errors and lapses in discipline for Foggia’s side. Disciplinary issues on both sides surely affected the quality of play and marred the match with frequent stoppages.

A red card was also issued to an unconfirmed player from the visiting team Catania. The dismissal, which reduced the away side to ten men, could have tipped the balance in favor of Foggia but the home side could not capitalize on the numerical advantage and convert it into a winning goal.

Moving on to set pieces, Foggia dominated the corner-kick battle, leading Catania with six more corner kicks (9 to Catania's 3). This perhaps reflects Foggia's more attacking style of play, but they seemingly failed to effectively capitalize on these opportunities, considering the match ended in a stalemate.

In conclusion, the match was characterized by missed opportunities, particularly on the part of Foggia who failed to utilize their corner opportunities and numerical advantage. The frequent disciplinary stoppages, particularly for Catania also had a significant impact on the match flow and outcome. It is evident that both teams need to work on discipline and the home team, in particular, needs to work on capitalizing on their set pieces in future games.
