Frosinone beat Torino 2-0 in Serie A as Raimondo leaves with an ankle injury

Frosinone hold on for a 2-0 win

Frosinone beat Torino 2-0 on Sunday, 1 November, in the tenth round of Serie A. Ghedjemis gave the hosts the lead three minutes into the second half, his first Serie A goal, and Calò doubled the advantage later in the same half. The win was Frosinone's fourth straight game without defeat, while Torino lost for the second match running after a run of three wins.

La Stampa described the Torino performance as full of errors, with the Frosinone attack wasting numerous chances before pulling away after the interval. Torino had also lost to Como before this fixture.

Raimondo's injury

Antonio Raimondo left the pitch after 30 minutes with an injury to his left ankle, and Birligea came on in his place. Fanpage reported that Che Adams fell onto him during the collision, while La Stampa described a stamp from Aboukhlal, who was booked for the incident. Frosinone coach Massimiliano Alvini openly voiced his worry about the forward's condition.

Raimondo, 19 and owned by Bologna, had scored eight league goals this season, according to Fanpage. The injury came as Roberto Mancini was looking for a striker for the Italy squad, and Fanpage noted that a first senior call-up had been a possibility. Italy face France at San Siro on 12 November at 20:45 and Belgium in Brussels on 15 November at 20:45.

Standings and what comes next

Frosinone sit sixth on 20 points after ten games, 15 points clear of the relegation zone, according to AGI. Torino are tenth on 13 points. Frosinone's next match is away at Cagliari on 7 November at 15:00, the last fixture before the international break. Torino host Lecce at the same time that day.

Fanpage reported that Serie A resumes on 21 November after the pause, which leaves the league idle for one weekend. Frosinone's position has been built on a strong run of results and its goals from the wings.
