Juvenes/Dogana opened their championship campaign with a comprehensive victory over Faetano, winning 4-0 in the first match of the regular season on Thursday evening. The hosts controlled proceedings from start to finish, though their dominance was not always reflected in the scoreboard until the closing stages. By then, the result had become inevitable rather than surprising.
The visitors had little to celebrate in the opening half, but their fortunes shifted dramatically in the thirty-fifth minute when S. Tugliani turned his own team against them with an unfortunate own goal. That moment changed the complexion of the contest, and Juvenes/Dogana could spring a surprise if they maintained this intensity. Faetano worked a short corner in response, but it yielded nothing of consequence.
The second half brought further rewards for the home side, with N. Amadori adding a second goal in the eighty-ninth minute to put the game beyond doubt. The academy graduate marked his contribution with clinical efficiency, and the stadium fell silent for the visitors at that point. A. Comuniello then completed the scoring in stoppage time, putting the game to bed with a third-minute injury-time strike.
The statistics tell a similar story of control. Juvenes/Dogana registered 101 attacks compared to 83 for Faetano, with nine shots on target against just three. Possession sat at 54 per cent for the hosts, and their eight corners to one for the visitors underscored their territorial advantage. To be fair, the goal tally does not fully reflect the difference in quality on display.
The result moves Juvenes/Dogana to second place with three points from one game, while Faetano remain in fifteenth with none. The hosts have hit a wall in recent form, but this performance suggests they have found their rhythm at the right moment. The draw brought them together early, and the result will shape expectations for both sides going forward.
