Outstanding performance
Frosinone•MidfielderFrosinone were largely in control throughout, finishing the match with 57% possession, 20 shots and five big chances created to Carrarese's one — a gulf that the scoreline ultimately reflected. The breakthrough came from the penalty spot on 54 minutes through Giacomo Calò, following a first half that had been feisty rather than open, with both Ghedjemis and Bouah picking up yellow cards before the interval. The match turned decisively in the 71st minute when substitute Antonio Fiori struck almost immediately after coming on, and Frosinone's depth told as the triple substitution on 59 minutes reshaped the game in their favour. For Frosinone, who are deeply embedded in the Serie B title race, this was an efficient and professional three points that will keep the pressure on those above them; for Carrarese, sitting mid-table, it was a chastening afternoon against a side simply operating at a higher level.
How entertaining was this match?
Second-placed Frosinone welcome mid-table Carrarese to Stadio Benito Stirpe in a match with huge promotion implications. With just three points separating them from automatic promotion rivals Monza and only Venezia ahead of them, the Ciociari cannot afford to slip up against a Carrarese side fighting for playoff positioning.
