CARPI, Italy (Interstat) — AS Gubbio 1910 delivered a stunning and decisive 3-0 victory over AC Carpi in a Serie C match on Saturday, defying pregame projections and securing their first win of the young season.

The match, played before a home crowd at Stadio Sandro Cabassi, was effectively decided within the first quarter of an hour as the visiting Gubbio side struck twice to silence the supporters.

The breakthrough came almost immediately. In just the sixth minute, Federico Carraro put the visitors ahead with an early goal that set the tone for the match. Before Carpi could find its footing, AS Gubbio 1910 doubled its lead eight minutes later. Veteran forward Andrea La Mantia found the net in the 14th minute, capitalizing on the home side’s disorganized defense to give his team a commanding 2-0 advantage.

The two early goals forced AC Carpi to chase the game, but the home squad struggled to mount a consistent offensive threat against a disciplined Gubbio defense. The result was put beyond any doubt in the 67th minute when Halid Djankpata scored the third and final goal for the visitors, sealing a comprehensive and unexpected away performance.

The final score was a direct reversal of the pregame simulation from Interstat, which had projected a 2-0 victory for the home team.

The victory marks a significant turnaround for AS Gubbio 1910. Entering the contest, the club was searching for its first positive result after suffering two consecutive losses to open its Serie C campaign. The win improves Gubbio’s record within the competition to one win and one loss. Across all competitions, the club now holds an identical record.

For AC Carpi, the lopsided loss serves as a setback following an undefeated start to their season. Prior to Saturday’s match, Carpi had secured a road victory over AC Bra and fought to a draw against Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC. The defeat gives AC Carpi a record of one win, one draw, and one loss in Serie C play, and an identical record across all competitions.
