Modena and Vis Pesaro played out a 0-0 draw in a Club Friendly on 2026-08-08. The match took place at Modena's home ground, with both sides using the fixture to test their preparations. A goal was awarded at the 12th minute but was subsequently cancelled, leaving the scoreboard unchanged by the end.
And here's the thing about that first goal — it came early, before either side had settled into rhythm. Modena controlled the tempo after that, keeping 61 per cent of possession while Vis Pesaro made do with 39. The hosts created more from set pieces too, winning one corner to the visitors' none.
To be fair, Vis Pesaro had little to play for. Their recent run has been unkind: 0-3 against Cesena, 1-2 at Benevento, and a heavy 0-8 defeat to Venezia. Three losses in a row would have left them searching for answers, and this match offered none.
Modena's own form has been steadier, though not without problems. They beat Trento 1-0 and demolished Virtus Bolzano 5-0, but lost to Cagliari and two other sides. The defensive solidity showed through here — no cards, no goals conceded, just a quiet afternoon.
By then the visiting side had thrown in four times compared to Modena's three, and won five free kicks to three. Vis Pesaro registered 13 attacks against Modena's 11, suggesting they pushed forward more often but with less precision.
The statistics tell a simple story: Modena had more possession, more structure, and more control. Vis Pesaro had more urgency, more attacks, and less to lose. Neither side found a way through, and that is as close to a result as you get in pre-season.
