Ravenna FC leaves the Altopascio pitch with just one point, after a match dominated for long stretches and full of incidents that leave more than a little regret. Two goals were disallowed for offside in very tight situations, two shots hit the crossbar, and a goal was conceded with an opponent in a questionable position: fortune did not favor the Giallorossi, who now see the gap to the top rise to seven points with four matches remaining.
The start is entirely in Ravenna’s favor: after a few minutes, Di Renzo deflects a cross in the box, narrowly missing the post, then Zagre tries his luck with a right-footed shot that goes over. In the 25th minute, Tau nearly takes the lead by chance, with a cross deflected by the wind that tests Fresia. Ravenna quickly regains control and comes close again with Ilari, whose shot goes just over the bar after a persistent move by Biagi. At the 37th minute comes the first controversial moment: Di Renzo sets up Zagre, who scores, but the play is called off for offside, which appeared to be marginal.
In first-half stoppage time, the Giallorossi create their best chance: Di Renzo coordinates and with a spectacular bicycle kick hits the crossbar, Ilari follows up to score, but again the linesman flags for an irregular position.
The second half opens with the day’s second shot off the crossbar, struck by Esposito in the 47th minute. In the 54th minute, the Giallorossi finally find the deserved lead: Rrapaj serves Calandrini, who with a precise left-footed shot beats Cabella. Ravenna continues to press, and in the 73rd minute Calandrini comes close to doubling the lead with a powerful shot that Tau’s goalkeeper brilliantly saves.
Two minutes later, however, Tau equalizes: on a loose ball in the small area, Andolfi gets the decisive touch. Once again, the attacker’s position seems marginal, but the referee validates the goal.
Ravenna pushes forward in search of a win: Calandrini and Guida try repeatedly, but the Tuscan goal seems cursed. The final whistle confirms a draw that feels unjust to Marchionni’s men, who delivered a generous and proactive performance, perhaps complicating their bid for the top spot once and for all.
