A precious point and a summit achieved: Ravenna FC secures a spirited draw against a relentless Tuttocuoio

The Ravenna FC returns from Ponte a Egola with a precious point, resulting from a 1-1 draw against Tuttocuoio. This result allows the yellow-reds to catch up with the top of the standings, sharing the lead with Forlì and Tau Altopascio, and to look forward with confidence to the big match next Sunday against Pistoiese, which is trailing by 5 points.

Mister Marchionni decides to change something in the starting eleven, putting his trust in the forward duo Di Renzo-Lo Bosco and bringing Mandorlini back into midfield in place of Rossetti. The match starts off evenly, with Tuttocuoio imposing great aggression in tackles. Ravenna suffers but tries to respond in an organized manner until the 35th minute, when an incident complicates the plans for the giallorossi: Lordkipanidze is sent off for a foul on Fino, stemming from provocation. Despite being a player down, Ravenna manages to create danger, especially through Biagi, who tries from distance but without luck.
In the second half, Tuttocuoio gains confidence and comes close to taking the lead, hitting the post with Lorenzini. In the 66th minute, the match returns to equal numbers due to the expulsion of Benericetti for a second yellow card. Mister Marchionni seeks to shake things up from the bench, and the substitutions bring new energy.
The match is unlocked in the 88th minute: Ilari, after narrowly missing a header goal, is brought down in the box. The referee has no doubts and awards a penalty. Manuzzi takes the kick and converts it coolly, putting Ravenna in the lead. However, the joy is short-lived: in the 92nd minute, a contact between Biagi and Chiti in the Ravenna box convinces the referee to award a penalty to Tuttocuoio as well. Fino converts from the spot and levels the score.
This incident leaves a bitter taste, exacerbated by Fino’s provocative celebration under the stand occupied by the giallorossi fans, a gesture that has nothing to do with sporting spirit.

Ravenna starts again from this valuable point to consolidate its leadership and prepare in the best way for the challenge against Pistoiese at the Benelli.
