Frosinone stops Como's run

FROSINONE – Frosinone halted Como's run, suffering their first setback and being caught up with Lazio at 10 points. Alvini's team scored twice in the first half and held on to the lead against Como's onrushing attempts, who repeatedly threatened. It was Como who opened the scoring after eight minutes with three consecutive saves: two by goalkeeper Palmisani from Douvikas and one by Monterisi from a rebound by Baturina, with the Greek striker finally hitting the post with a shot. Frosinone took the lead in the 14th minute when Calò came from behind and beat goalkeeper Butez, who was also fooled by a slight deflection off Milla. Raimondi almost doubled the lead in the 38th minute with a back-heel that kept Butez out of trouble. Butez then fell to the post in the third minute of first-half stoppage time when Frosinone launched a counterattack through Schmid, who sent Kvernadze, unstoppable with his right foot, into the box. At halftime, Fabregas made three substitutions, bringing on Kean, Rodriguez, and Ricci for Douvikas, Baturina, and Da Cunha. Palmisani proved decisive in the second half, saving from Nico Paz and Kean between the 50th and 51st minutes. Kean's shot was blocked by the Frosinone goalkeeper in the 59th minute. In the 63rd minute, Nico Paz aimed for the bottom corner, but the ball went just wide, leaving the Frosinone goalkeeper out of action. The final incident, in the 70th minute, saw Palmisani again leap to tip Rodriguez's shot under the crossbar. In the final minutes, Raimondo's goal was disallowed for a foul on an opponent.
