Despite having the home advantage, Novara was unable to leverage it to their benefit. The most notable factor that influenced the match outcome was the decisive early goals by US Pergolettese 1932 in the first half followed by a resolute defensive display.

A breakdown of the match shows that US Pergolettese 1932 took swift control of the game. Their crispness was evident as they scored two early goals at the 15th minute and 25th minute.

While Novara dominated in terms of corner kicks, 6 to 5, they were largely futile in finding the net. Significantly, both teams had a fairly equal number of offside’s, with US Pergolettese 1932 slightly edging out Novara, indicating the high positional awareness and the disciplined command of their defensive line against the opposition.

The most concerning stat for Novara was the yellow card count. The home team racked up five yellow cards over the course of the match, three of which were accrued in the second half alone.
