Reggiana picked up two first bookings, as Tobías Reinhart went into the referee’s book in the 24th minute, followed by Simone Bonetti in the 50th. The visitors also tried to shift the momentum after the break with a series of substitutions, including Matteo Rover’s introduction at half-time and the later arrivals of Alessandro Tripaldelli, Andrij Novakovich, Tommaso Fumagalli and Charlys.

Padova, however, found the breakthrough in the closing stages. In the 77th minute, coach made a double change, sending on Jonathan Silva and Alessandro Seghetti. Just three minutes later, the switch paid off in style. In the 80th minute, Seghetti latched onto an assist from another substitute, Gianluca Caprari, to make it 1–0 to the hosts.

The goal stood as the only strike of the game, securing all three points for Padova and underlining the impact of their bench. Earlier, Padova had also brought on Luca Di Maggio in the 68th minute, in place of Pietro Fusi, as they sought fresh energy for the final phase.

With this narrow win in the Serie B regular season, Padova strengthened their position ahead of the final rounds, while Reggiana were left to rue missed opportunities and a late lapse. More comprehensive match data beyond goals, cards and substitutions was not available at the time of writing.
