Frosinone 2-0 Torino: two late goals complete a perfect home record

Torino had the better of the ball for long spells at the Benito Stirpe, but it was Frosinone who made the breakthrough three minutes into the second half. Giorgi Kvernadze found Farès Ghedjemis inside the area, and the forward finished calmly to put the home side ahead. Torino pushed for a reply through Giovanni Simeone and Ché Adams without ever truly testing Lorenzo Palmisani, and the game stayed stretched at 1-0 deep into stoppage time.

That is when Frosinone settled it. Substitute Wisdom Amey broke clear and squared for Giacomo Calo, who had come on himself earlier in the half, to tap in the second in the third minute of added time. It was a cruel way for Torino to lose a match in which they had seen more of the ball and completed far more passes — 266 of 362 attempted to Frosinone's 206 of 304 — but found no answer at either end of the pitch that mattered.

A fourth home win out of five

Frosinone's archive reads W-L-W-D-W across their last five before this one, and this result extends a run in which the Benito Stirpe has been nearly impossible for visiting sides to leave with anything. The win takes Frosinone to 20 points and keeps them 6th, now three clear of Juventus in 7th rather than merely ahead on goal difference — comfortably their best return at this stage of a Serie A season in years. Antonio Raimondo started but did not get on the scoresheet here, leaving his tally unchanged on the division's scoring charts.

Torino's good spell comes to an end

Torino had won three of their previous four — over Udinese, Parma and Monza — before this trip to Frosinone, a run that had lifted them well clear of the bottom of the table. Three second-half substitutes, including Duván Zapata and Emirhan Ilkhan, could not change the pattern of a game Torino dominated for possession but lost for cutting edge: no shot from open play in the final third troubled Palmisani enough to force a save of note. Zakaria Aboukhlal and Gvidas Gineitis were both booked in the first half, and Saúl Coco picked up a third yellow for the visitors shortly after.

What's next

Frosinone will look to carry this home form forward after a result that keeps them firmly in European contention for now. Torino need to find a way of turning control of the ball into chances again before their next match, or the gap back to mid-table they had just closed will open up once more.
