Frosinone took all 3 points against Sassuolo in Serie A on Friday evening, winning 4-2 on Matchday 7. Giacomo Calò opened the scoring after 9 minutes and Frosinone led 3-2 at the break. A VAR check also ruled out a Giorgi Kvernadze effort in the 17th minute. The win leaves Alvini’s side fourth.
Raimondo scores at 26, 30 and 57 minutes
Sassuolo’s reply to Calò’s opener came quickly. Domenico Berardi levelled in the 15th minute, set up by Darryl Bakola, and two minutes later Kvernadze’s strike for the hosts was cancelled.
Then Raimondo took over. He put Frosinone ahead in the 26th minute and added another 4 minutes later. Kristian Thorstvedt pulled one back for Sassuolo in the 37th minute, so the visitors went in only a goal behind.
The decisive moment arrived in the 57th minute. Raimondo completed his hat-trick, restoring the hosts’ 2-goal cushion, and Sassuolo found no answer. Their only booking went to Kieron Bowie for a foul in the 82nd minute.
Raimondo was rated 9.31, the highest on the pitch, from 6 shots in his 89 minutes. Calò was close behind on 8.2, with 5 key passes to go with his goal. In the Sassuolo goal, Murić made 6 saves and earned a 7.33 rating.
Frosinone win with 42% of the ball
Aquilani’s side had most of the possession, 58% against 42%, and completed 377 passes to Frosinone’s 246. The hosts were far more direct. They had 21 shots to Sassuolo’s 14, with 10 on target against 6, and they tried 10 efforts from outside the box to Sassuolo’s 3.
Expected goals were close, 2.12 for Frosinone and 1.94 for Sassuolo. Inside the area, each side had 11 shots.
The scoreline repeated the Serie A meeting at the same ground on 17 September 2023, when Frosinone also won 4-2. The sides had drawn 1-1 in the Coppa Italia on 2 September 2026.
