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.
