Juve Stabia won an ugly, hard-fought game and celebrated again at home. One goal was enough: a Giuseppe Sibilli strike in the opening minute decided the Serie B match against Arezzo at the Stadio Romeo Menti in Castellammare di Stabia on 7 November 2026.
It was a 1-0 win secured after long suffering, with the home side defending a slender lead for almost the entire match.
The decisive moment: Sibilli strikes immediately
The breakthrough came in the very first phase of play. Arezzo lost possession through Iaccarino in midfield, and Juve Stabia punished the error with a direct vertical pass to release Sibilli.
Sibilli took his chance cleanly, finishing left-footed across the goalkeeper with a diagonal shot to make it 1-0. Reports place the goal between the first and second minute, with one chronicle timing it at 1 minute 24 seconds.
That early lead shaped everything that followed: Juve Stabia could sit in, stay compact, and force Arezzo to chase the game.
Arezzo push, Juve Stabia hold on
Arezzo responded and created several chances to equalize. The visitors put sustained pressure on the Juve Stabia defense, especially after the break, but the home side held its shape and protected the advantage until the final whistle.
The second half included a post at each end, underlining how close Arezzo came to a draw — and how close Juve Stabia came to doubling their lead on the counter.
The decisive defensive moment arrived late on. Goalkeeper Vukovic preserved the result with a key save on Renzi in the closing stages, the standout intervention of the afternoon at the Menti.
What it means: 12 points and out of the drop zone
The three points took Juve Stabia to 12 points, moving the Campania side out of the relegation zone in the table picture reported after the match.
That position should be read with some caution: the final standings situation may still depend on the outcome of an appeal connected to Juve Stabia's points penalty. No verified attendance figure was available in the match reports.
For now, though, the essential fact is simple. After a difficult spell, Juve Stabia won a dirty game 1-0, struck first through Sibilli, suffered together, and left the Menti smiling again.
