Ravenna FC defeated 1-2 by Sasso Marconi: disappointing performance
Ravenna FC suffered a 1-2 defeat in a home match against a more determined and reactive Sasso Marconi, who posed a threat from the early minutes of the game.
The match opens up in the 5th minute with a move from the visitors: Jassey makes a vertical run and, once inside the area, accurately strikes with his right foot, finding the top corner and putting Sasso Marconi in the lead. Ravenna struggles to find their rhythm, and Sasso continues to apply pressure, becoming dangerous again shortly after with a stolen ball on the edge of the box.
The yellow-reds try to create some plays, but the visiting team seems more reactive in every phase of the game. The turning point for Ravenna comes in the 30th minute, when Guida is brought down in the box and the referee awards a penalty. Nappello does not miss from the spot, calmly leveling the match.
In the second half, Mister Antonioli’s boys try to change the pace, but Sasso Marconi still proves to be more incisive. In the 61st minute, Dame scores the decisive goal: a beautiful header that surpasses Fresia and puts the guests back in the lead.
Despite the changes made by Antonioli and the team’s efforts, Ravenna fails to find the equalizer and ends the match with a lackluster performance, losing 1-2.

The Ravenna Football Club welcomes Mauro Antonioli back
The coach who led the team to promotion to Serie C returns to the giallorossa bench
The Ravenna Football Club is pleased to announce that the technical direction of the first team has been entrusted to Mauro Antonioli.
No major introductions are needed for a coach who is associated with one of the most memorable moments in recent giallorossa history: the remarkable comeback against Imolese and the victory in the 2016/17 season that earned promotion back to Serie C. Antonioli demonstrated his professionalism by securing a well-earned safety with five games to spare in the following season. After his time with Ravenna, the Milan-born coach, born in 1968, has led Reggiana, Fermana, Sambenedettese, Imolese, and Forlì.
In this second chapter of his adventure with Ravenna FC, he will once again be accompanied by his long-time assistant Ivan Piccoli and Ermes Morini as the goalkeeping coach.
The club's management extends a warm welcome to Mauro Antonioli and his staff, wishing them a season full of success and satisfaction for the yellow and red colors.

Cuomo gives the victory to the Tuscan team in the big match of the fourth round
In the big match of the fourth round of the championship, Pistoiese defeated Ravenna FC with a score of 1-0, thanks to a goal by Cuomo in the second half. The match was a true clash at the top, with Ravenna dominating the first half, but the home team reversed the rhythm in the second.
First half: Ravenna dangerous but inaccurate
Ravenna FC started strong and was already dangerous in the 7th minute. Rrapaj delivered a through ball to Lo Bosco, but the Giallorossi striker, despite being in an excellent position, couldn’t finish properly due to being off-balance. In the 9th minute, Ravenna pushed forward again with Biagi, who attempted a low shot from the edge of the area, but the ball narrowly missed the post.
Pistoiese struggled to respond, but in the 23rd minute, they showed up in Ravenna’s area with Grilli, whose shot from the edge was blocked by the Giallorossi defense. Ravenna continued to control the game: in the 37th minute, D’Orsi broke through on the left and crossed for Milan, but Cecchini made a crucial intervention. In the 39th minute, Pistoiese tried to relieve the pressure with a cross from Diodato to Bertolo, but the shot posed no threat to Fresia.
Second half: Cuomo decides the match
The second half opened with a high pace, and after just one minute, Rossetti from Ravenna attempted a shot from the edge of the area, which was blocked by the Orange defense. In the 4th minute, Pistoiese came close to scoring with Greselin, who missed from a good position.
The Tuscans continued to grow: in the 9th minute, Diodato fired a sure shot, hitting the crossbar and nearly scoring. From the ensuing corner, Polvani tried a close-range shot, but Fresia made a miraculous save. The Giallorossi goalkeeper proved decisive again in the 21st minute, saving a dangerous header from Grilli.
Ravenna's response came in the 25th minute when Manuzzi stole the ball from Bertolo and charged towards the goal, but Cecchini deflected the shot into a corner. Despite a solid defensive performance, Ravenna conceded in the 26th minute: Grilli shot from distance, Fresia parried, but Cuomo was quickest to the rebound and tapped it in for the Pistoiese lead.
Ravenna tries until the end
Ravenna FC desperately sought an equalizer. In the 30th minute, a dangerous corner from Guida found a deflection from Manuzzi, but the ball skimmed past the post and went wide. In the first minute of stoppage time, Mandorlini attempted a long-range volley, but his shot was central and easily saved by Cecchini.

Well-deserved last-minute victory for the Giallorossi
On an emotional day, Ravenna FC defeated Tuttocuoio 2-1, securing a valuable home victory. The home team displayed clear dominance throughout the match but had to fight until the very end to claim the three points against a tough and well-organized defensive opponent.
In the first half, Ravenna created several key chances, showing an offensive and dynamic play from the very first minutes. The first opportunity came from a cross by Rrapaj, with Manuzzi nearly scoring with a sliding shot that narrowly missed the goal. Shortly after, Biagi had a good chance, but his shot, well set up by a deep pass from Nappello, flew over the crossbar. Tuttocuoio, adopting an extremely defensive approach, tried to limit Ravenna's attacks as much as possible, relying on tight marking and compact defensive lines.
In the second half, Ravenna increased the pressure further, determined to find the goal. In the 80th minute, the breakthrough came: Rrapaj, one of the standout players on the field, won a penalty after persistent play. From the spot, Nappello made no mistake, putting the home side ahead and igniting the crowd's celebrations. It seemed like Ravenna had sealed the game, but Tuttocuoio found an unexpected equalizer a few minutes later. In their first real offensive chance, Salto managed to head home a cross from the left, outsmarting the Giallorossi defense and bringing the game level again.
Despite the blow, Ravenna didn’t give up. With the heart and determination of lions, the Giallorossi pushed forward once more, led by captain Rrapaj, the absolute standout. In the 89th minute, a clear handball in the box granted Ravenna a second penalty. This time, it was Manuzzi who took responsibility from the spot, slotting the ball past the opposing goalkeeper and delivering victory to his team under the Curva Mero, which erupted in joy.

Ravenna returns to the field to face newly promoted Tuttocuoio
Ravenna FC is ready to take the field for the third matchday of the season, where they will face Tuttocuoio in what promises to be an exciting encounter. Both teams come into the match with 3 points in the standings, each having one win and one loss. Following a convincing 3-0 away victory against Sammaurese, the Giallorossi, led by coach Mauro Antonioli, aim to build on their success and deliver another impressive performance in front of their fans at Stadio Benelli.
Ravenna has entered the season with the ambition to play a leading role, and a victory on Sunday would be an important signal to confirm their aspirations for a top position in the standings. The enthusiasm is high, and the team is working hard to maintain the right level of focus.
Ticketing and useful information:
Tickets for the match are already available on the official website ravennafc.vivaticket.it and at authorized sales points.
Fans are encouraged to arrive at the stadium early to avoid queues at the ticket counters and to follow security guidelines.
On Sunday, the gates and ticket counters at Stadio Benelli will open at 2:00 PM.
On the other hand, Tuttocuoio, led by Aldo Firicano, arrives at Benelli with the goal of securing points to support their journey toward salvation. The Tuscan team has demonstrated solidity and a spirit of sacrifice, relying on experienced players like Salto, formerly of Pistoiese, and the talent of Moras, who the Giallorossi are familiar with after his performance that included 2 goals and an assist, which knocked Ravenna, under Serpini, out of the Coppa Italia two years ago.
It will be a high-intensity challenge, where both teams will seek to capitalize on every opportunity to secure valuable points. Ravenna will need to rely on the support of their fans to drive the team toward another victory.
We look forward to seeing many of you at Benelli to support our lions!
Go Ravenna!
