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.

The Ravenna FC is preparing to host Imolese for a new match day in a championship that promises to be intense and captivating. The giallorossi, currently at the top of the standings tied with Forlì, aim to confirm their good form and continue their journey with maximum determination. Every point counts in a balanced championship like this year’s, and the challenge against Imolese represents another important step in the pursuit of seasonal goals.
The two teams have a long history of encounters in Serie D, and in the 2016-17 season, they were indeed protagonists in the battle for the championship title. Today, they find themselves with different objectives: Ravenna wants to remain among the contenders for the top spots, while Imolese, coming off seven matches without a win, is in search of a result that could reignite their season.
Despite the absences of Lordkipanidze (suspended), Nappello, Mereghetti, Drapelli, and Amoabeng (injured), the squad built by sporting director Mandorlini offers quality solutions that allow coach Marchionni to manage these situations effectively. A positive note comes from the return of Guida, who has recovered from the flu and is back training with the group. The young defender Busato, born in 2004, the latest addition from the winter transfer market, is also available.
The team has shown itself to be compact and ambitious, but nothing would be possible without the beating heart of the giallorosso fans. The presence and warmth of Ravenna supporters will be crucial against Imolese, as every cheer from the stands is a decisive boost for the players on the field.

The Ravenna FC continues its winning streak, successfully defeating Sasso Marconi 1-2 away. The match highlighted the determination of the yellow-reds, who, thanks to this victory, maintain their top position in the standings, sharing it with Forlì.

The Marchionni team starts off strong, keeping Sasso Marconi pinned in their own area but failing to break the deadlock in the early minutes. The constant pressure pays off in the 16th minute: Rrapaj delivers a precise cross that is intercepted by Balleello with his arm. The referee, well-positioned and close to the action, awards a clear penalty without hesitation. Manuzzi, ice-cold from the spot, deceives Celeste, putting Ravenna in the lead and reaching double figures in the league with his tenth goal of the season.

Paradoxically, after conceding a goal, the home team gains confidence. In the 31st minute, Geroni takes a dangerous free kick from the left that crosses the area without any deflections, ending up behind Fresia for the equalizer at 1-1. The teams go into halftime perfectly tied, with Ravenna lamenting having lowered their pace too much after taking the lead.

In the second half, the giallorossi enter the field determined to regain control of the match and quickly find a new advantage. In the 52nd minute, a key incident changes the course of the game: Mambelli hits Lo Bosco with a slap in the penalty area, receiving a straight red card. The referee awards a second penalty for Ravenna. Manuzzi this time is hypnotized by Celeste, but Onofri is the quickest to react to the rebound, scoring the final goal for a 1-2 lead.

Despite being outnumbered, Sasso Marconi tries to react by raising their line of play. However, Ravenna’s defense holds firm without any particular difficulties. The home team, aside from the free kick that equalized, never truly manages to threaten Fresia. In fact, it is Ravenna that comes close to scoring a third goal several times on the counterattack: Calandrini hits the post with a header, Di Renzo hits the crossbar from a cross by D’Orsi, and in stoppage time, Zagre, after getting past the goalkeeper, sees his shot cleared off the line by a defender.

The final whistle marks a well-deserved victory for the giallorossi, who demonstrated solidity and the ability to capitalize on decisive moments. With this success, Ravenna keeps pace with Forlì, who triumphed against Tau Altopascio. Next Sunday, the giallorossi will return to Benelli to face Imolese in a match that promises to be crucial for the top spot.

After the significant victory against Pistoiese, which solidified their top position in the standings, Ravenna FC is preparing for a delicate away match against Sasso Marconi, a team that holds bittersweet memories for the yellow-reds, having been the last to inflict a defeat in the league in what was perhaps the worst performance of the year. A round later, much has changed in the team’s dynamics, but this will certainly be an additional motivation for the group led by Marco Marchionni, determined to maintain consistency in results and stay at the top of the standings.

A context that makes the match even more important is the direct clash between the other two league leaders, Forlì and Tau Altopascio, who will face each other. It’s an opportunity for Ravenna to extend their lead in the standings, but only if they focus exclusively on their own game and maintain high determination.

The absences are notable: coach Marchionni will have to do without Amoabeng, Drapelli, and Mereghetti, who are unavailable, while the conditions of Guida and Fiori, both dealing with fever symptoms, remain to be assessed. An interesting point is the possible use of Zagre, the young yellow-red talent who might see more playing time in this match, but the competition within Marchionni’s squad is strong in all departments.

The challenge promises to be intense, especially considering that Sasso Marconi will try to leverage the home advantage to regain precious points and continue a season that has exceeded expectations. The newly promoted team is currently solidly in the middle of the standings, playing with determination and confidence to secure a more comfortable survival than anticipated. On their part, the yellow-reds will once again have the support of a significant number of fans, ready to fill the away section with yellow and red colors.

The Ravenna, aware of its strength, wants to send a strong message to the league. The away match against Sasso Marconi will be an important test, but with the support of the fans and the determination shown in the last matches, Marchionni’s team has all the right cards to confirm their position at the top and continue their pursuit.

Ravenna FC demonstrates its strength at the Benelli stadium, narrowly defeating Pistoiese and maintaining the top position in the standings, shared with Tau Altopascio and Forlì, who will face off on Sunday in a direct clash. In a stadium filled with nearly 4,000 fans, the yellow-reds prevail thanks to a stunning goal by Biagi, who scored a rare beauty in the 24th minute. The match begins with both teams studying each other, showcasing the quality that has made them among the most solid in the league. The first chance goes to Ravenna in the 16th minute, with Rrapaj delivering a dangerous cross that fails to find a decisive touch. In the 22nd minute, Biagi poses a threat again with a great personal initiative, halted by a crucial intervention from former player Polvani, who deflects it for a corner.

The yellow-red advantage comes two minutes later: Biagi, positioned at the edge of the penalty area, controls a difficult ball with his chest and unleashes a right-footed shot that finds the back of the net under the crossbar, leaving Cecchini stunned. A spectacular goal that ignites the Benelli stadium and breaks the balance of the match.

La Pistoiese tries to react by taking control of the game, but struggles to find spaces in Ravenna’s excellent defensive organization. The first half ends with the home team leading by one goal.

In the second half, the guests raise their defensive line in search of an equalizer. Maldonado attempts a tricky diagonal shot in the 65th minute, but Fresia is alert and stretches to make a save for a corner. In the final minutes, former player Polvani comes close to scoring from a corner kick situation, but his shot goes high over the crossbar.

The Ravenna tightens its ranks and does not grant any further opportunities, closing the match with great maturity. At the final whistle, the joy of the yellow-red crowd erupts, celebrating three fundamental points. With this victory, Ravenna FC maintains the top of the standings, confirming itself as one of the most solid and well-equipped teams in the league. On the other hand, Pistoiese is pushed back to -8, seeing its chances of entering the title race diminish.

A success that is worth more than the three points, achieved against a direct rival and in front of an exceptional crowd, testifying to the strong bond between the team and the city. Ravenna continues to dream, aware that the path to the final goal is still long, but with the certainty of having all the right cards to play it to the end.

This Sunday, the Benelli Stadium will become the beating heart of Ravenna’s passion as it hosts a clash that promises excitement and intensity: Ravenna FC versus Pistoiese. Two teams that arguably represent the best rosters in Serie D will face off in a head-to-head that could have significant implications for the group standings. Both sides, after a less-than-brilliant start to the season, have found new momentum under their respective new managers. Now, they come into the match in top form, ready to leave everything on the pitch.
Ravenna enters this match riding high after securing the top spot in the standings, tied with Forlì and Tau Altopascio, following a hard-fought draw on Tuttocuoio’s tough ground. Their opponents, Pistoiese, are on an unstoppable run, riding the wave of five consecutive victories and trailing by just five points. They aim to reignite their title bid with this crucial clash at the top—a true test of strength for both teams.
Ravenna faces some challenges, however, as head coach Marco Marchionni will have to navigate several key absences. Midfielder Lordkipanidze, who previously wore Pistoiese’s colors, is suspended, and Amoabeng, Mereghetti, and Drapelli are out due to injuries. On the bright side, Venturini, another former Pistoiese player, is back in action and ready to contribute. On the visitors’ side, their captain Lorenzo Polvani, a standout defender for Ravenna three seasons ago, will be a key figure for the orange and blue.
But this game is about more than just tactics or strategy—it’s a showdown loaded with meaning. The rivalry between these two sides runs deep, heightened by last season’s events when Pistoiese’s exclusion denied Ravenna the chance to compete in a promotion playoff earned on the field. This has only added fuel to an already fiery matchup.
A remarkable crowd is expected at the Benelli, drawn by the emotions and connections that only football can create. It’s the perfect moment for Ravenna fans to rally behind their team, turning the stadium into a cauldron of passion and showing what it truly means to be part of this great family. This is a match that promises to linger in everyone’s hearts and could prove to be a defining moment of the season.
