Cesena dominated possession with 71% of the ball but were forced to settle for a point after Südtirol's early strike was cancelled out by an unfortunate own goal. Fabian Tait gave the visitors a dream start after just three minutes, but Federico Davi's own goal on 17 minutes restored parity in what became a cagey affair. Despite Cesena's territorial advantage and 629 passes to Südtirol's 244, both sides created an equal number of big chances (2 each) but failed to convert them. The result leaves both teams treading water in mid-table, with Cesena's possession-heavy approach proving ineffective against Südtirol's compact defensive structure.
