Frosinone have moved into the Serie A top four after an entertaining 4-2 victory at home against Sassuolo on Friday evening: Italy U21 star Antonio Raimondo scoring a hat-trick to send his side towards victory.

Frosinone came into tonight’s game looking to put things right after falling to a 3-0 defeat against Napoli last time out in Serie A. Their season had got off to a flyer with victories over Fiorentina, Venezia and Como, which saw head coach Massimiliano Alvini awarded the coach of the month award for September.

Sassuolo have had a mixed set of results at the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign, including a 1-1 draw against Milan last weekend, a 2-1 defeat against Monza the week before, a 3-2 victory over Juventus and a 2-2 draw against Bologna.

The hosts were gifted the lead inside the first 10 minutes. Sassuolo were caught trying to play it out of the back: Arijanet Muric played the ball to Darryl Bakola inside the Neroverdi area, the midfielder was dispossessed and the ball fell kindly for Giacomo Calo to stick into the roof of the net one-on-one.

Bakola was able to make amends a few minutes later, nicking the ball himself this time to stop another Frosinone attack before launching a first-time ball over to Domenico Berardi to chase down unopposed in the opposition half. The Italian rounded Lorenzo Palmisani before finishing into an empty net from a tight angle.

Frosinone found themselves back in front 10 minutes later when Muric failed to beat Raimondo to a cross that landed on the edge of the six-yard box. The goalkeeper spilled it and the Frosinone no.9 was able to poke home from close range.
