Rimini surprised, Arezzo finds its smile and three points again: 0-2

Rimini, February 24, 2025 – Arezzo rediscovers the smile and the three points, also breaking the taboo of the black jersey that until now had only seen missteps. A success for morale and for the standings that allows them to keep breathing down the neck of Pianese , sixth in the standings. Bucchi surprises everyone in Rimini . After two consecutive defeats and a victory that has been missing since January 18, the Amaranth coach designs a formation that is nothing short of offensive, making his Arezzo wear a 4-3-3 that is nothing short of atypical. A four-man defense with Renzi, Gilli, Chiosa and Righetti. In midfield, a single midfielder in the role of Damiani with Guccione playmaker in front of the defense also supported by Capello, then the offensive trident with Pattarello, Tavernelli and Ravasio in the center. A move that immediately creates some headaches for Rimini, but above all the Cavallino takes the field with the right attitude. Arezzo has control of the game and they play phrases and put the pitch in order, forcing Rimini to retreat into their own half of the pitch .

In any case, the only dangers in the first 30 minutes of the game came from a corner kick and a nice shot by Ravasio that ended up wide. Rimini responded with Malagrida but Trombini kept a good watch. In the 36th minute, Tavernelli received the ball from the edge of the area and shot on goal, surprising Ferretti, perhaps with his view obstructed by a teammate. Before the break, however, Arezzo took a big risk with two (consecutive) uncertain exits by Trombini that almost helped Rimini. Arezzo still went to the break with a one-goal lead. The fog descended, visibility suffered, but on the pitch the Amaranto found each other by heart and a nice exchange of passes led to the doubling. Minute number 54: vertical ball by Capello for Ravasio who crossed with his right foot and doubled the lead .

Rimini feels the blow, Bucchi decides to give more balance to his team by bringing in Settembrini and granting Dezi his debut with Cavallino. The fog becomes thicker and thicker and in the 73rd minute the referee is forced to suspend the match for a few minutes . Once hostilities resume, Bucchi's team firmly controls the match without smudges, still going to press forward trying to close the match without worries. After seven minutes of injury time, the final whistle is blown. Arezzo returns to winning ways , breaks a drought that lasted more than a month, and above all gets back on track to improve its position in the playoffs.
