Matchday 34 REGULAR_SEASON

Reggiana doubled their advantage in the 28th minute. This time Bertagnoli turned scorer, converting after an assist from Mathis Lambourde to make it 2–0. The quick-fire double gave the home team a cushion they never relinquished.

Carrarese’s frustrations were reflected in the booking of Nicolò Calabrese midway through the first half on 23 minutes. After the interval, the visitors looked to change the course of the match with a double substitution at half-time, introducing Filippo Distefano and Tommaso Rubino, but they were unable to find a way back into the contest.

The second half brought more disciplinary action but no further goals. Reggiana’s Tobías Reinhart received a yellow card on 51 minutes, while Carrarese picked up late bookings for Luis Hasa (85’) and Simone Zanon (90’). Both coaches turned to their benches throughout the half, with Reggiana managing their lead through a series of substitutions, including the withdrawals of goalscorers Portanova and Bertagnoli.

With detailed statistical data beyond goals, cards and substitutions not available, the final assessment rests largely on the decisive attacking contributions in the opening 30 minutes. Reggiana’s early efficiency in front of goal proved enough to see off Carrarese and strengthen their position in the Serie B table.
