The match opens with an aggressive Ravenna, which immediately seeks to trouble Imolese. Antonioli’s team creates several opportunities, but the well-organized Imolese manages to hold their ground against the visitors. The key moment comes in the 17th minute, when a free kick in favor of Ravenna leads to the decisive goal: Onofri, in an offensive position, capitalizes on a short rebound from the goalkeeper to head the ball into the net, putting the yellow-reds in the lead.

L’Imolese, down by a goal, tries to react, looking to take control of the game, but Ravenna proves solid in defense and closes off all spaces. The first half ends without any major chances, with the home team struggling to find openings.

In the second half, the key moment comes in the 59th minute when Nappello is sent off for a foul. Ravenna, now down to ten men, tightens its defense even further and withstands the Imolese’s attempts, who increase the pressure in search of an equalizer. Despite being a man down, the yellow and reds defend in an organized manner and give very little away to their opponents.

The most dangerous opportunity for Imolese comes in the final minutes, when Gasperoni attempts a close-range shot that is providentially saved by Onofri, who is not only the scorer of the winning goal but also made a crucial defensive intervention.

With this victory, Ravenna FC takes home three important points, demonstrating great character and defensive solidity in a derby that is always highly contested.
