In the Serie C match on the 17th December 2023, US Triestina Calcio 1918 outshone Novara, clinching victory from behind with a narrow win of 3-2.

The match certainly displayed an exquisite showcase of both defensive and offensive plays. Despite losing, Novara's well-timed goals shouldn't be overlooked. The first goal was netted in the first half at the 23rd min, soon after Triestina took the lead at the 14th min. The second goal followed suit in the second half at the 77th min, relieving their initial deficit. However, their lead was short-lived as Triestina bounced back with back-to-back goals in rapid succession at the 92nd and 94th min turning the game in their favor.

In terms of strategized game-play, the match could be divided into two halves. In the first half, the teams were neck-to-neck with both teams scoring once and each picking up a yellow card. The second half, however, saw Triestina taking the upper hand with their aggressive attack, netting two crucial goals and getting two yellow cards in the process.

Digging deep into the stats, Triestina's advantage can be attributed to its superiority in corners, gaining total control over set pieces. They bagged a staggering 13 corners as compared to Novara's 5, suggesting an aggressive attacking strategy which ultimately led to more goal-scoring opportunities. This large number of corners certainly seems to have played a key role in Tilrestina's victory.

While the teams were evenly matched when it comes to discipline with Novara picking up a single yellow card and Triestina getting three, the latter’s concessions didn’t seem to hinder their winning performance. Neither team was reduced to 10 men, indicating that infractions did not significantly influence the outcome.

Moreover, in terms of offside, Novara maintained a clean slate with 0 offside calls, while Triestina registered one. This suggests that Novara had a more disciplined approach in their attacks.

All in all, Triestina's determination and attacking firepower, combined with their ability to capitalize on set-pieces and maintain persistency through a high number of corners, proved influential in the match's outcome. Despite Novara's efforts of a disciplined approach and timely goals, they couldn't hold off Triestina's late resurgence. It was an enthralling match with Triestina taking the win by a margin of just one goal.
