Frosinone 4-2 Sassuolo: Serie A Seven-Goal Thriller
Frosinone edged a breathless Serie A contest 4-2 against Sassuolo as Antonio Raimondo’s hat-trick lit up a match that swung violently between hope and despair for both sets of fans.
Frosinone Explode Out the Blocks
Giacomo Calò sent the home supporters into raptures after just 9 minutes, drilling Frosinone ahead in a frenetic start. But Domenico Berardi, Sassuolo’s talisman, silenced them six minutes later, slotting home from Darryl Bakola’s cutback. The visitors thought they’d weathered the storm – until VAR intervened.
Raimondo Takes Center Stage
At 17 minutes, Giorgi Kvernadze wheeled away celebrating only for technology to deny him. No matter. Up stepped 20-year-old Antonio Raimondo, scoring twice in four minutes (26′, 30′) to give Frosinone a 3-1 lead. His second, a predator’s finish after Sassuolo failed to clear, had the ultras bouncing in the Curva Sud.
Kristian Thorstvedt gave Sassuolo a lifeline before halftime (37′), but Raimondo completed his treble in the 57th minute – and what a goal. Collecting the ball 25 yards out, he danced past two challenges before bending an unstoppable shot into the top corner. Absolute bedlam.
Sassuolo Collapse
Sassuolo’s 58% possession meant nothing as they were carved open time and again. Kieron Bowie’s late yellow card (82′) summed up their frustration. For all their tidy midfield play, they lacked Frosinone’s cutting edge when it really mattered.
What This Means
Raimondo’s coming-of-age performance lifts Frosinone to midtable safety while plunging Sassuolo into deeper trouble. These three points could be priceless come May – especially with that young striker leading the line like a veteran.
