The Marchionni team opens the scoring in the 20th minute when Lo Bosco is the quickest to pounce on Manuzzi’s flick from a corner taken by Rrapaj, making it 1-0. Ravenna continues to press and doubles their lead in the 32nd minute with Mandorlini, who scores with a precise diagonal shot that surprises the opposing goalkeeper. Shortly after, the yellow-reds come close to a third goal: Milan finds himself in front of Gilli, but the Fiorenzuola goalkeeper makes an extraordinary save, keeping his team in the game.
The second half begins with a determined approach from the home side, who narrow the gap in the 52nd minute with Oboe, who heads in from a cross from the right. For about twenty minutes, Fiorenzuola relentlessly seeks the equalizer, but Ravenna’s defense holds firm, conceding little to nothing despite some struggles. In the final minutes, the yellow-reds manage the game better and defend their precious lead, coming close to a security goal with a nice play that frees up Rrapaj for a shot.
A tense episode in stoppage time involves the benches: after a heated exchange of words, both team managers are sent off by the referee.
With this victory, Ravenna remains in touch with Tau Altopascio and Forlì, both of whom won their matches today, keeping the pursuit of the top positions alive. The next home game against Cittadella Vis Modena will be crucial for continuing this chase, but first, the yellow-reds will be busy in the Coppa Italia in Castelfidardo.
