Ravenna, first victory under Marchionni: comeback and three crucial points against San Marino

Ravenna begins to benefit from Marchionni’s guidance and makes a comeback to secure three key points against San Marino. The yellow-reds show signs of improvement in their performance, although some insecurities still need to be addressed.

For his debut on the bench, Marchionni confirms the starting eleven lined up in the away match against Riccione. Opposing him is a well-organized San Marino team led by Cascione, determined not to leave Benelli empty-handed. The first few minutes unfold in balance, with both teams studying each other without creating any concrete dangers: both Fresia and Branduani are attentive in protecting their respective goals. In the 30th minute, Ravenna becomes dangerous with Lo Bosco, who first grazes the post with a header, then challenges the opposing defense with a powerful right-footed shot.

The comeback begins with a low blow for Ravenna: D’Agostino provides a through ball for Giometti, who controls it and chips over Fresia, giving the visitors the lead. The Benelli stadium buzzes with concern over another disappointment, but Marchionni responds by changing the team’s face, bringing in Guida, Biagi, and Manuzzi in place of Di Renzo, D’Orsi, and Lordkipanidze. The new entries inject energy into the yellow-red formation, which starts to press in San Marino’s half. The equalizer arrives in the 65th minute thanks to Milan, who collects a rebound and unleashes a spectacular right-footed shot, slotting the ball into the top corner.

But Ravenna is not satisfied and, after just six minutes, scores the goal to take the lead: Guida orchestrates the play and serves Onofri, who perfectly crosses for Manuzzi, skillfully heading the ball into the far corner. The striker runs to celebrate under the stands, bringing the fans into a frenzy.

In the final moments, San Marino tries to respond, but Ravenna’s defense holds firm, extinguishing every attempt and leaving the opponents only with the bitterness of Cascione’s red card, who was sent off for blatant protests. Three crucial points for the yellow-reds, who show character and begin to relieve the accumulated pressure, ready to finally express their full potential. The next test is already on Wednesday: at 6 PM, the Benelli will host one of the most anticipated matches of Serie D, against Piacenza.
