CHRONICLE AND COMMENT
A hard-fought derby and with the happy ending of the three points marks the debut of the Titans in the 2022-23 season. The first hurray in the journey of the Italian Cup comes thanks to a crackling 4-3 outside. For three times Domenichetti’s girls find the double advantage and for three times Ravenna goes back, but without ever finding the flicker to bring the challenge equal. In the blue and white eleven there are many news. One of them, Zineb Abouziane, immediately looks for the door on the bank of Barbieri: a little high shot. Shortly after, another bank from Barbieri arms Brambilla’s left, well controlled by Vicenzi. At the quarter of an hour there is only the illusion of the goal for the guests, who are looking for the goal on a short corner exchange: Accornero duets with Ladu who moves the net yes, but from the outside. At 20 ‘the Ravenna crossing trembles on Zito’s free-kick, who seeks the goal from a considerable distance and is stopped only by the wood. The very good approach of the Titans pays dividends in the 28th minute, when Papaleo can celebrate the first scoring in the Academy jersey using a cross-shot by Barbieri, on which a simple support of the number 11 is enough for the score to be unblocked. On the wave of the advantage just found, the San Marino Academy “risks” to make it 2-0 immediately: Barbieri finds herself alone in front of Vicenzi, who is good at choosing the timing of the exit and shielding the conclusion of the 45 guest. Ravenna finds no way to react. The San Marino Academy, for its part, insists on the search for the double, and after a flying conclusion by Abouziane, slightly high, goes from eleven meters for a contact between Barbieri and Vicenzi. Barbieri appears from the spot and displaces the Ravenna goalkeeper by kicking in the center. At 2-0 the San Marino Academy went into management mode, mostly quiet until, in the recovery of the fraction, Burbassi guessed the right crossed by the limit that is worth the half-distance goal.
At the start of the second half, Ravenna tries to exploit the inertia by immediately throwing itself forward. The Giallorossi forcing mainly produces a sixteen-meter right-foot from Burbassi, destined for the low corner if Montanari did not perform in a feline flick that denies the 11 home draw and personal double. Having passed unscathed from this outburst, the San Marino Academy reacts impetuously and in the 54th minute finds the 3-1 goal in a situation in some ways similar to that of the advantage: Barbieri looks for the goal and the shot, not precise, becomes a assist for Papaleo, who punishes Vicenzi’s wrong positioning by unloading on the net and thus wetting his season debut with a brace. Crossed the quarter of an hour, Ravenna returns to get under with Gardel, who stands out on the corner of Barbaresi. The response of the Academy produces the network of the new double advantage: restart managed by Papaleo, who then chooses to serve Marengoni, who entered the field at the beginning of the second half. The ex of the match explodes a perfect left from the middle distance: ball under the crossbar and nothing to do for Vicenzi, who does not sketch or the intervention. The Ravenna, however, does not give up. The home team raises the pressure again and finds the goal of -1 in the half hour with Raggi, who behind the defense and anticipates the exit of Montanari with a sliding touch. The goalkeeper of the San Marino Academy is also solicited with the right of Elisa Mariani from the
distance, too central for male fare. On the other hand, Barbieri would have the opportunity to close the match: the 45 Titana flies alone against Vicenzi, who forces her to slip away and lose the moment for the goal at the net. In the recovery, Ravenna’s last attempt is in another one destroyed from the middle distance by Elisa Mariani, who this time sends out from the poles defended by Montanari. It ends with a victory that is offered but that makes the standings and morale in view of a debut in the championship just seven days away.
