In Serie C action on March 11, 2024, SS Juve Stabia hosted Taranto FC in an engaging encounter. Juve Stabia brought home the win 2-1 against understrength Taranto, but the story of the match cannot be captured by the scoreline alone.

The match started out evenly contested, however, the disciplinary record of both teams marked a significant difference in their approaches to the game. Taranto received a total of 5 yellow cards compared to Juve Stabia's 2, a factor which surely contributed to their struggle to organise defensively. The first half saw one yellow card displayed to each team, but as the game progressed, Taranto’s discipline ceded resulting in four additional yellow cards.

The early parts of the second half stood out as the tactical turning point where Juve Stabia took full advantage of the game. Scoring two goals within a span of three minutes (51st and 54th), the home team exhibited a stronger offensive display and exceptional timing in their play. The effective utilisation of their corner kicks, a total of 3, contributed to the pressure mounted on Taranto's defence. In contrast, Taranto FC failed to secure even a single corner kick throughout the match underlining their lack of offensive pressure.

Juve Stabia also demonstrated tactical discipline limiting themselves to only one offside, pointing to orchestrating an organised attack. Meanwhile, Taranto failed to register an offside, indicative of their insufficient attack attempts.

Taranto FC managed to pull one back in the 70th minute relieving some pressure, yet the team struggled to capitalise any further on the counterattacks as the match wore on. No serious fouls escalated to red cards, although the surplus yellow cards handed to Taranto indicate it was a close shave.

Conclusively, the defining factors for Juve Stabia's victory lay in their disciplined defensive play, more focused offensive strategies that resulted in effective use of corner kicks and well-timed attacking runs avoiding offside traps. Taranto FC’s performance was marred by a lack of necessary discipline and insufficient offensive pressure, affirmatively reflected in their lack of corner kicks and yellow cards surplus.
