Benevento saw off Ravenna 5-3 in the Round of 128 of the Coppa Italia on 9 August 2026. The match finished at 19:00 local time and produced six goals across the opening half-hour alone. By then, the hosts had already established a lead that would not be fully secured until the closing minutes.
M. Maggio opened the scoring for the visitors in the 14th minute before A. Prisco equalised for Benevento 60 seconds later. F. Salvemini restored the home side's advantage in the 39th minute, and Vinicius doubled Benevento's lead early in the second half. R. Romano scored in the 61st minute before S. Scognamillo added a fifth in the 71st. Ravenna pulled one back in stoppage time.
The statistics tell an uneven story. Benevento recorded 68 attacks against 78 for Ravenna, but the hosts were more clinical with nine shots on target to seven. Possession sat at 51% for the home side, though shots off target were nine to four. Yellow cards were shared evenly at two apiece.
Substitutions came at the 54th minute when A. Talia entered for Benevento. Vinicius had received a yellow card in the 43rd minute, while Scognamillo and Donati were both booked in the 65th minute. The away side's lone offside call came with a single offside for the match. Benevento had none.
Benevento arrive at this stage on a decent run, having drawn 2-2 with Frosinone last Saturday before beating Pesaro and Ostia-Mare. Ravenna's recent form tells a different story - two consecutive defeats to Salernitana and a mixed record against Cittadella. The result means the hosts advance while the visitors' cup campaign ends in the first round of this competition.
