“Salim Diakité picked up an early yellow card for a foul, setting a combative tone that would persist throughout the match and restrict Modena's ability to play freely in the first half.”
“A double substitution saw Juve Stabia bring on Rareș Burnete while Alessandro Sersanti was immediately booked upon coming on, summing up the fractious nature of the contest as the match entered its decisive phase.”
“Juve Stabia made a bold double change, withdrawing Giuseppe Leone and Nicola Mosti to introduce Kevin Zeroli and Christian Pierobon — a reshuffle that would prove decisive within minutes.”
“Kevin Zeroli punished Modena's profligacy in front of goal, finishing clinically to give Juve Stabia a 1-0 lead with only four minutes of normal time remaining — a sucker punch that the hosts, despite their statistical dominance, had no answer to.”

Outstanding performance
Juve Stabia•DefenderJuve Stabia came to the Braglia knowing a win could ease their relegation anxieties, and they executed a pragmatic game plan with quiet efficiency — sitting deep, soaking up pressure, and waiting for their moment. Modena dominated the statistical picture, controlling 59 percent of possession and registering 13 shots to Juve Stabia's seven, yet were undone by a single clinical intervention from the bench. The match was defined by its indiscipline — five yellow cards, 31 combined fouls — and a flurry of substitutions after the hour mark that disrupted any rhythm Modena had built. Kevin Zeroli, on the pitch for barely eight minutes, punished their wastefulness in front of goal to deliver a result that will do little for Modena's hopes of clawing away from danger, while lifting Juve Stabia out of the mire at a critical stage of the season.
