Ravenna FC-Piacenza: Recovery Match Between Two Giants of Serie D
After the comeback victory against San Marino Calcio, which marked the best start to the Marchionni era, Ravenna is ready to challenge Piacenza at the Benelli. The match, initially scheduled for October 20, was postponed due to a weather alert and will feature two of the most prestigious teams in the category.


Both teams share a start to the season that falls short of expectations, considering their promotion objectives. The difficulties of the early matches have led to technical changes for both teams: the white and reds have entrusted the management to Carmine Parlato, an experienced coach who has already won Serie D on five occasions.
The match tomorrow will be an opportunity to assess the progress of both teams. The Giallorossi fans hope to witness a demonstration of character, with the team called to overcome the uncertainties of their early outings and to showcase the potential of the squad. Coach Marchionni will have almost the entire team available, with the only exception being Nappello, who will serve his last match of suspension against the biancorossi. Piacenza will also be missing a starter: captain Jacopo Silva, who was sent off in the previous match against Tuttocuoio, will be absent.
The gates of Benelli will open at 4:30 PM to welcome fans for a match not to be missed. Despite the midweek fixture, good attendance is expected from the away side as well, with over a hundred Piacenza supporters ready to cheer on their team.
In parallel, the Giallorossi fans are ready to show their support, pushing Ravenna towards a strong performance. The match will be streamed on the Ravenna FC YouTube channel, providing the opportunity for those who cannot be at the Benelli to follow every moment.

Winning comeback against San Marino Calcio
Ravenna, first victory under Marchionni: comeback and three crucial points against San Marino


Ravenna begins to benefit from Marchionni’s guidance and makes a comeback to secure three key points against San Marino. The yellow-reds show signs of improvement in their performance, although some insecurities still need to be addressed.
For his debut on the bench, Marchionni confirms the starting eleven lined up in the away match against Riccione. Opposing him is a well-organized San Marino team led by Cascione, determined not to leave Benelli empty-handed. The first few minutes unfold in balance, with both teams studying each other without creating any concrete dangers: both Fresia and Branduani are attentive in protecting their respective goals. In the 30th minute, Ravenna becomes dangerous with Lo Bosco, who first grazes the post with a header, then challenges the opposing defense with a powerful right-footed shot.
The comeback begins with a low blow for Ravenna: D’Agostino provides a through ball for Giometti, who controls it and chips over Fresia, giving the visitors the lead. The Benelli stadium buzzes with concern over another disappointment, but Marchionni responds by changing the team’s face, bringing in Guida, Biagi, and Manuzzi in place of Di Renzo, D’Orsi, and Lordkipanidze. The new entries inject energy into the yellow-red formation, which starts to press in San Marino’s half. The equalizer arrives in the 65th minute thanks to Milan, who collects a rebound and unleashes a spectacular right-footed shot, slotting the ball into the top corner.
But Ravenna is not satisfied and, after just six minutes, scores the goal to take the lead: Guida orchestrates the play and serves Onofri, who perfectly crosses for Manuzzi, skillfully heading the ball into the far corner. The striker runs to celebrate under the stands, bringing the fans into a frenzy.
In the final moments, San Marino tries to respond, but Ravenna’s defense holds firm, extinguishing every attempt and leaving the opponents only with the bitterness of Cascione’s red card, who was sent off for blatant protests. Three crucial points for the yellow-reds, who show character and begin to relieve the accumulated pressure, ready to finally express their full potential. The next test is already on Wednesday: at 6 PM, the Benelli will host one of the most anticipated matches of Serie D, against Piacenza.
