Ascoli and Carrarese shared the points in a 1-1 Serie B draw, with the visitors taking the lead through Fabio Abiuso before Gabriele Gori equalised late on. Carrarese controlled the opening exchanges, and Abiuso's 51st-minute finish from Jonas Rouhi's assist put them ahead.
Ascoli responded by pushing forward and finally got their reward in the 82nd minute, when Gori turned in Giacomo De Pieri's pass to level. The closing stages were tense, with multiple bookings on both sides, but neither could find a winner.
The stats told a story of two different approaches: Ascoli had 72% possession and 19 shots, while Carrarese edged the expected-goals count 1.83 to 1.58 and created three big chances to Ascoli's two. Ultimately, a draw was a fair outcome on the balance of play.
