Frosinone proved to be a difficult opponent to stop, claiming a 3‑2 victory over Sassuolo at home, in a match that saw numerous defensive errors from both teams. The match, which represented the seventh day of Serie A, was decisive for the Ciociari, who gained three precious points in their race towards salvation.
The start was overwhelming: Frosinone canceled out the result in the 9th minute thanks to a goal from Calò, who took advantage of a ball recovered by Masini in front of goalkeeper Bakola and beat Muric with a powerful shot from inside the area. Sassuolo tried to react, but the equalizer came in the 14th minute when Bakola fed Berardi, who passed Palmisani and scored. Frosinone's goal in the 16th minute was disallowed by VAR due to Georgian Kvernadze's offside position. Raimondo then gave the Ciociari the lead with a brace, bringing the score to 3‑1.
Sassuolo continued to fight and regained the 2‑1 lead in the 26th minute on a ball put in the center by Calò, which Muric was unable to hold and Raimondo took advantage. In the 30th minute, a defensive uncertainty from Caleta‑Car and an imprecise exit from Muric opened the door for the attacker, who scored his second goal, joining Malen at the top of the top scorers with six goals overall. Frosinone seemed to be in control of the match, while Sassuolo struggled to contain their opponents' attacking initiatives.
Sassuolo didn't give up and closed the gap in the 37th minute thanks to Thorstvedt, who took advantage of Esposito's pass and beat Palmisani with a left-footed diagonal. The 3‑2 goal rekindled the hopes of the Emilian team and made the end of the first half even more intense. Raimondo came close to scoring a hat-trick in the 39th minute, but Muric blocked the shot. The match remained open, with both teams creating chances and making defensive errors, promising an equally hard-fought second half.
With this victory, Frosinone is positioned better in the table, while Sassuolo remains in the fight to maintain their position in the top half of the table. The result suggests that Frosinone will continue to play aggressively in defence, while Sassuolo will have to look to improve their defensive organization if they want to make up ground in the coming matches.
