The Ravenna FC secured a decisive victory against Imolese, winning 4-0 at the end of a match that took a decidedly favorable turn in the second half. It was a game that initially seemed challenging for the yellow-reds, due to the difficult moment of their opponents and some absences in Marchionni’s squad, but it confirmed the strength and depth of a team built to be competitive until the end.

Yet, the start of the match was anything but simple. Imolese came out strong, with an aggressive approach that put Ravenna in difficulty from the very first minutes. In the 1st minute, Vlahovic immediately posed a threat with a shot from the edge of the box that forced Fresia into a great save. Shortly after, it was Augustin’s turn to try with a low shot that was once again stopped by the agile yellow-red goalkeeper.

Ravenna struggles to find space and impose its own game, but takes advantage of the first real opportunity. In the 29th minute, a well-executed corner by Rrapaj and Ilari finds Rossetti ready to head the ball. Dall’Osso’s unfortunate deflection puts Adorni out of position and gives the home team the lead. The goal shifts the balance, but the first half ends without further incidents, with the giallorossi ahead by a narrow margin.

In the second half, the script changes radically. Marchionni’s team returns to the field with an extra gear and takes just one minute to double their lead: Rrapaj delivers a precise cross for Biagi’s head, who gives no chance to the red-and-blue goalkeeper.

L’Imolese takes a hit and Ravenna gains full control of the match. In the 56th minute, Ilari becomes the protagonist of a spectacular play: with a series of elegant dribbles, he weaves through the opposing defense and deposits the ball into the net for the 3-0. Unfortunately, the midfielder suffers a muscle problem during the goal action and is forced to leave the field.

The Ravenna does’nt stop and continues to push. In the 65th minute, Lo Bosco, after coming close to hitting the crossbar just a few minutes earlier, provides a perfect assist for Rrapaj, who with a precise left foot seals the final score at 4-0.

The last minutes are pure academia, with Ravenna managing possession of the ball and calmly heading towards the final whistle. With this victory, the yellow-reds continue their journey tied with Forlì at the top of the standings.

The only sour note of the day is Ilari’s injury, the extent of which will be assessed in the coming days.
