Frosinone triumph 4-2 over Sassuolo in a high-scoring Serie A encounter.

The Serie A showdown took place on 16 October 2026 at Stadio Benito Stirpe in Frosinone. Both teams entered the match looking to add points, but the home side quickly imposed its intent in front of a supportive crowd.

How it unfolded

The opening stages were lively, and Frosinone struck first. In the 9th minute Giacomo Calò unleashed a right-footed shot from the centre of the box, guiding the ball into the top left corner to put the hosts ahead 1-0. Sassuolo responded swiftly; six minutes later Domenico Berardi capitalised on a fast-break created by Darryl Bakola, firing a left-footed strike from the right side of the six-yard box into the bottom right corner to level the scores at 1-1.

Frosinone reclaimed the lead in the 26th minute when Antonio Raimondo tapped in a close-range right-footed effort, restoring a 2-1 advantage. Just four minutes on, Raimondo added a second, this time from outside the box, his right foot finding the centre of the net to make it 3-1. Sassuolo kept fighting and reduced the deficit in the 37th minute; Kristian Thorstvedt slotted a left-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom right corner, bringing the visitors back to 3-2.

The home side sealed the win in the second half. From a corner in the 57th minute, Antonio Raimondo finished a very close-range right-footed strike into the top right corner, completing his hat-trick and extending the lead to 4-2. The match remained open until the 82nd minute when Kieron Bowie of Sassuolo was booked for a bad foul, receiving a yellow card. No further goals were added, and the referee saw out the game.
