In a tense encounter in Serie C, FC Arzignano Valchiampo managed to squeeze past Mantova FC, securing a narrow 1-0 win on the Whites' home turf. A single goal early in the second half was enough to separate the two sides, affirming the visitors' decisive potency and effective game management in spite of their reduced numbers on the pitch later in the game.

Fluidity of play and constructive teamwork seemed to lack on the part of Mantova FC as they, in spite of their home advantage, failed to crack open the away defense and generate a single goal. Their inability to make use of their 6 corner kicks into a scoring opportunity further highlights their inefficiency in set-piece situations. Comparatively, FC Arzignano showed resilience and precision, turning one of their fewer shots on target into a scoreline-shifting goal.

The two teams exhibited an aggressive style of play as signaled by the six yellow cards distributed through the match, four of which were accorded to the visitors. FC Arzignano's high yellow card count, including the one that led to a red card, potentially influenced their team dynamics and their tactical decisions, focusing more on defense particularly post the sending off, this could have resulted in fewer attacking efforts but they managed to retain their fragile lead till the end.

Both sides encountered disciplinary issues with the home team earning two yellow cards, both coming amidst the tension of the second half which could have potentially destabilized their morale and composure thereby undermining their ability to level the score. FC Arzignano, however, had two major disciplinary occurrences in the first half and another two in the second half, one of which resulting in a red card. In spite of the disadvantage, they managed to circumvent the situation and maintain their lead till the final whistle.

In sum, FC Arzignano Valchiampo's victory can be pinned down to their early goal in the second half and their resilience afterward, particularly given their numerical disadvantage. Mantova FC's inability to create valuable opportunities from their corner kicks and failure to keep cool heads when trailing particularly in the nervy second half reflects on their score sheet. While their aggression on the pitch did not pay off in terms of the result, it is a factor that cannot be ignored when considering their overall performance and for further tactical improvements.
