Fiorentina slip again as Frosinone sink them 0-3

Fiorentina have once again struggled in Serie A, and their start is starting to look ominous. After being thrashed 0-4 by AS Roma earlier, they fell 0-3 at the Artemio-Franchi against newly promoted Frosinone, sealing another heavy defeat.

Another tough night

As L’Équipe reports, Frosinone set the tone early in the first half. Antonio Raimondo opened the scoring in the 26’ after good work from Giorgi Kvernadze down the left, and Gabriele Bracaglia doubled the lead from a corner at 38’.

Fiorentina’s frustration grew before the break: they struck the left post twice, with Franco Mastantuono (35’) and Victor Valdepeñas (36’). In the second half, the home side couldn’t lift the game, registering just one shot on target (from 11).

Early alarm bells

Raimondo punished their lack of realism with a second goal following a slick sequence at 68’. The result leaves Fiorentina bottom of the table with a stark seven conceded and none scored, hardly reassuring as Fabio Grosso starts his tenure.

Elsewhere, Udinese needed to grind out a 3-2 win versus Monza, helped by Hassane Kamara (1 goal, 1 assist) and a corner finish from Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (45’+3). Sassuolo beat Torino 2-1, with Domenico Berardi scoring six minutes after coming on (78’), per L’Équipe.
